Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana

To whom it may concern,

I would like to construct a privacy fence on my residential property line. I have had a property line survey completed and stakes have been placed marking the property line. Can I build the fence directly on the property line or should I have it built back a few feet? I am concerned that if I have it built back a few feet that I will lose my property ownership on the other side of the fence and I will be unable to maintain the shrubbery on the other side.

Thank you

Unless there are porperty associaition covenants against building fences on the prorepty line, you should be able to build your fence on the surveyed line

Build it on the property line. If the survey was wrong then the survey company pays the damages.
