Generally you can build a road right up to the property line. However, you should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your jurisdiction. YOu may want to know in advance the abutter's right to use the road, if any exists.

apparently they can build a road ON your property if there's an easement, so I would say yes, they can.

Is it legal for the township to force property owners to pay for an access road through their property?

It may be legal, but it is poor politics. The property that benefits from the new access would typically be the one taxed for the improvement. You also beg the question of where the township obtained the right to even enter, let alone build a "road through their property". If there were payments for the easement or right of way, perhaps that agreement contained additional provisions for betterment assessment.


Easement was given 20 years ago on a property we just purchased can i build a wall on the other side of the easement line?

Your question requires a lot more detail. Generally, you cannot build a wall that would restrict access to the area of the property subject to the easement. An easement allows people other than the owners of property to use the property for a specific purpose (commonly easements are granted to give neighboring property owners access to a road). If you recently purchased the property subject to the easement you are not allowed to build a wall which would restrict the easement owner's access to the property.If you are asking if you can construct a wall on the other side of an easement upon property you do not own, the answer is no. You have the right of egress and possibly to maintain it, but does not give you the right to construct a wall on the ajoining property outside of the easement which you do not own.See discussion page.

I bought ten acers and their is an old logging road that goes to my property but the roads also on someone elses property to can i still make my road with that one?

You have no automatic right to use a road across another property unless that right was granted in your deed. Access to the property must have been discussed during the negotiations leading up to your purchase. You should review your deed and any other documents you have that mention access to determine if you have the right to use that road. Perhaps you could discuss it with the attorney who represented you at the time of purchase.
