A new property law allows Indiana landowners to mark their boundaries with purple spray paint.
House Enrolled Act 1233 went into effect on Sunday, allowing property owners in Indiana to switch out no trespassing signs for vertical lines of purple spray paint. The bill hopes to ease worries of property owners who repeatedly put up, maintain and replace signs, chains or fences to keep people out.
The law says that the purple marks may be placed on trees as a vertical line of at least eight inches in length, and with the bottom of the mark at least three feet from the ground. Marked trees must be within 100 feet from one another. Property lines can also be marked on the tops of fence posts.
Indiana is the 12th state to pass a purple paint law.
