SSB 1062 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to disputed land boundaries and corners including acquiesced boundaries and corners.

This bill (SSB 1062) clarifies how long-recognized land boundaries become permanent in Iowa. It states that if neighbors accept a boundary line for 10 years, that boundary automatically becomes permanent and cannot be undone by later common ownership of the adjacent properties. The bill also allows new boundaries to be established through a similar 10-year recognition period if neighbors agree. It directly affects property owners involved in boundary disputes by providing clearer rules for resolving disagreements over land corners and lines.
