A "zero lot line" situation occurs when the perimeter or the proposed perimeter boundaries of a building or structure are located on part of the boundary lines of the property.

"Zero lot line" structures are typical of "Planned Unit Developments" (PUD's).

In regard to a "zero lot line" situation, extreme care should be exercised in connection with:

  • the right of legal access to and from the property.
  • the possible existence of encroachments of the sides of the buildings or structures upon the common areas.
