I am not aware of any time frame in the law regarding this issue. If you want these property line stakes removed because you believe that they pose a danger to your children, you should contact the adjoining owner to apprise him or her of your concern, and that if they are not removed, then you may have to undertake court action to have them declared a private nuisance and removed by order of the court.
