Curtilage
In law, the
curtilage of a
house or
dwelling is the land immediately surrounding it, including any closely associated buildings and structures, but excluding any associated "
open fields beyond", and also excluding any closely associated buildings, structures, or divisions that contain the separate intimate activities of their own respective occupants with those occupying residents being persons other than those residents of the house or dwelling of which the building is associated. It delineates the boundary within which a home owner can have a
reasonable expectation of privacy and where "intimate home activities" take place. It is an important legal concept in certain jurisdictions for the understanding of
search and seizure,
conveyancing of
real property,
burglary,
trespass, and
land use planning.
