Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
I own a deeded home on a lake. The vast majority of the property on the lake is leased from a Water Authority but mine is deeded. I want to add on but the water authority said if I do not adhere to their setback requirements they will fence my property in as they own and maintain the roads. Am I bound by the same setbacks as they force on their lessee's even though I am deeded?
