Encroachments

An encroachment is defined as being any portion of a building, structure, fence, parking, driveway, etc. which extends onto Township property.

Clearview Township has established an Encroachment By-law for processing encroachment applications and enforcing encroachment agreements. This by-law includes Boulevard Garden Encroachments.
