If it's on your property & don't want it there you can show them the report & ask them to move it. If they refuse you would have to take legal action. When we bought this house there was a fence on one side & a chain link fence on the other side with nothing across the back. We installed a fence across the back & the side with the chain link as we wanted a privay fence with the pool. We had ours surveryed for some reason & it shows our fence at the back at the east end is a little in the yard behind us. We just connected to the back fence that was already there on both sides & never checked it when we installed it. So we know the neighbor on the east side of us has their back fence in their neighbors yard. Nobody has ever said anything.

I don't know if you need a permit here or not to put up a fence. We did not have one.


@Nightowlz  when we moved here and put up a fence, we had to put it two inches into our property, not on the line, so the neighbor picked up two inches on one side.


 

My sister did that on one side of their property when they bought it. They have a huge back yard & the neighbor on one side did not want to pay half so she put it on her property so he could not connect to it. It was a new housing division so nobody had fences yet. I think with her HOA they have to use the vinyl fence.
