Hi neighbor. Option 1, you pay for half the fence and I put it down the line I originally planned
Mostly agree but the tree issue is likely moot, for the fence. Ordinances likely do not allow a fence to extend beyond the front of the house like that, or so close to the road in what is likely an easement granted to the City. Looking at that power box in the distance, there could also very well be buried lines impacting where a fence could be built. With that being said, I would build the fence to the maximum area permitted by local ordinance, easements, practical realities, and the boundary line.
Sounds like they're way past option 1. Plus that land prob worth way more than half the fence.
as a side note, what a miserable fishbowl she lives in. Street in front and behind the house like that?
I mean, there are acreages and then there are acreages, and there are neighbors and then there are neighbors. How many acres are we talking? Were you driving ATVs on their property?
He felt I was mowing 3' onto his property.
I have no idea what is going on there. We can't see her garage and her house is either built on an angle on her lot, or it is irregular shaped. It looks like it might also be a corner lot with that stop sign in the background. No idea what is her side yard versus her back yard, which of course matters most places in where you can put a fence.
Found this. It’s an odd setup. It is the back of both houses per video on left.
That is about the most jacked up lot I have ever seen. With the driveway and garage in the "back" of the house and the house being on a corner lot, it destroys the possibility of fencing in any significant land. Gross.
cops on the scene for destruction of property and a dui would sort that out.
I was too good a neighbor for that. He's was a pretty good guy, just got drunk then tried to weasel out of it. It got settled without the law.
I saw this as well. She pays taxes on that property, she paid for that property, it is her property. Since he chose to be a dick about it now he can find out. A simple, "I think the property line is here, so let's get the city in to survey this so we can find out for sure" would have avoided a lot of problems.
When she bought the house and got her closing package there should have been a survey included. And she likely has a title insurance policy too.
Whoever designed that development is a frigging moron and/or sociopath.
Wouldn't be surprised if a survey was done and he pulled the stakes before they got the keys.
Prob be kind of hard for neighbor to prove. Just mowing over the line prob won't be enough. She can claim they asked neighbor to stop and he didn't.
Looks like she was filming from a paved alleyway.

Good observations. This looks like it’s in Florida by the landscaping and trees so it’s likely also in an HOA. Pre-approval by HOA is needed and you’re right about the fence setbacks not to come past the front of the house.
As I was saying, that is the most jacked up miserable lot I have seen. Looks like the whole development was designed so that no one would have space to do anything outside that is enjoyable in their own yards. Gross. I'd rather rent or have a starter home in an older house with a bigger lot than that, with an idea of upgrading down the road.

It depends on which state this is in but I think it’s in Florida if you go by the palm trees. If she so much as walks on that part of her yard she is actively exercising her possession so it’s likely not a provable condition on this guy’s part.
But although you have a point, this is where we are today.
