Does my property go all the way to the street or back of curb?

Within the Village, the public streets are built within a public right-of-way (ROW). The ROW is wider than the street providing space for the placement public sidewalk and various utilities. Along a street, your property line is the same as the ROW line. For streets that have sidewalk, the ROW line is typically 1 foot plus or minus behind the back of sidewalk towards your property. For streets that have carriage walk, the ROW line is typically 8 foot more or less behind the back of carriage walk towards your property. For more information, contact the Engineering division.
