I have a similar issue. ATT servitude at the rear of my year, the entire length and I have two access panels in my yard for them.
My fence is a few inches on the neighbor's yard.

quote:Another thought, since I used to bury phone cable, some contractors will place cable shallow, just make sure to call One Call before you dig, and i'd use a probe rod when digging. If the fiber/cable is in conduit/innerduct you probably won't damage the fiber with a pair of posthole diggers, but if bare cable it won't take much to damage it. Also, you definitely don't want to hit the power if it's buried but it should be in conduit. Lot's of should's and likely's so be careful.
likely 3.5-4ft deep

You mentioned post, railings and boards along the property line, don't forget to include the big holes you dig and fill with concrete.
There are three documents you need in your possession.
1. The recorded deed you signed when you bought the property
2. Subdivision plat at least showing your lot.
3. subdivision restrictions.
The deed contains a description which more than likely refers to a lot and block numbers/letters shown on the subdivision plat.
The plat should show utility/drainage easements across the front and rear of lots and some along the side lines. These are slivers of private property that others have the right to use for certain purposes and you can't restrict them in any way. Building set backs may or may not be shown.
The restrictions will describe things you can and can't do on property in that particular subdivision. For example it might restrict fences to be no closer to the street than the front of the house or similar.
The statement about the developer showing you your markers. He may show you some markers but they might not be "the" markers, use a surveyor for that. Often surveyors set markers a few feet apart for various reasons, so you need to make sure what you see are the correct ones.

Any of you know if revoking a sidewalk is a thing? My street has no consistent sidewalk. Mine does not extend in front of either of my side neighbor's yards. Sidewalk start and stop willy nilly on my street. Seems silly, and I hate edging.

I'm not a property attorney, but my understanding is that in Louisiana if it's on the boundary line, it becomes a "common fence". LA. Civil Code Article 685: "Common fences.
A fence on a boundary is presumed to be common unless there is proof to the contrary.
When adjoining lands are enclosed, a landowner may compel his neighbors to contribute to the expense of making and repairing common fences by which the respective lands are separated.
When adjoining lands are not enclosed, a landowner may compel his neighbors to contribute to the expense of making and repairing common fences only as prescribed by local ordinances."
