Arkansas Laws
Even if a squatter remains on the property for the required time, they must also meet strict requirements, including open and notorious possession, exclusive control, payment of property taxes, and having "color of title," before they can initiate a legal claim for adverse possession.
Arizona Laws
The 2-year pathway represents one of the shortest adverse possession timeframes in the United States, creating significant risk for property owners who do not regularly monitor their investments.
Alaska Laws
Through a 2003 amendment, Alaska effectively limits successful adverse possession claims to boundary disputes rather than deliberate property takeovers by squatters who knowingly occupy another's property.
Alabama Laws
If a squatter's entry onto the property was unlawful, HB 182 allows property owners to request expedited removal by law enforcement after just 24 hours, potentially preventing the squatter from meeting the continuous residence requirement.
Texas Laws
Texas law permits adverse possession claims but recent criminalization of squatting allows property owners to request immediate removal by authorities.
Florida Laws
While Florida law states that an individual may attempt to gain title and ownership of a property through adverse possession after residing there long-term for seven years, this process is significantly impacted by House Bill 621, Senate Bill 322 and Senate Bill 606
