A property owner’s rights above and below their land are expansive but not unlimited. The rights extend only so far as is reasonable and can be limited by laws related to air traffic, subterranean resources, or the point at which scientific or technical ability makes it feasible to exploit the subsurface. For example, an individual cannot claim interference from commercial airline flights in the airspace far above their property.
For example: A homeowner cannot erect a skyscraper that interferes with FAA regulated airspace without obtaining special permits, reflecting the balance between property rights and public interests.
