The statute, as written — De minimis structure position discrepancies, defined
A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
For the purposes of this part, "de minimis structure position discrepancy" means: (1) For commercial property, industrial property, and multi-unit residential property, 0.25 feet; (2) For all other residential property, 0.5 feet; (3) For agricultural and rural property, 0.75 feet; and (4) For conservation property, 1.5 feet; between the location of an improvement legally constructed along what was reasonably believed to be the boundary line and the actual location of the boundary line based on the most recent survey.
