Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

My deed description says to start in the middle of the incommon driveway. My neighbor down the hill uses the driveway to get to his house. He had the road redone with out asking anyone (4 neighbors) and shaved 5 feet off of my parking area and removed said gravel. I would like to know what in common is and if I can make him replace my parking area. My parking area has been the way is was for a very long time. I do not have a survey. Thanks

I don't think you can tell anything until you get a survey. You should do that first to determine exactly what is yours and what is not.

After the survey you'll need to look at the applicable zoning regulations to determine conformity. A properly documented land survey is needed.
