Default Neighbor disputes my property line location

Just bought a property in Miami-Dade County, Florida and want to build
a fence along the property line on my side.

The neighbor has parked a vehicle on the grass with half the car over
on my side. The hood is up and the engine is out and he is apparently
fixing it in his garage. He has a few other cars parked on his
property that are partially disassembled.

I recently had the survey done during the purchase and the surveyor
sprayed painted the iron pin locations and one of them is right at a
power pole. The survey shows the line is 25 feet from the exterior
wall of my house, which is about 7 feet from the exterior wall of his
house.

When I mentioned to my new neighbor that I am going to build a fence
and whether he mind moving his disassembled vehicle out of the way he
said yes no problem. Then later he came back and seemed upset and says
he disagrees with where the property line is.

I showed him the spray painted iron pins. I showed him the power pole
from the utility company, I showed him my survey and measured from my
wall to the spray painted location - 25 feet. He disagrees. He says
it should be half way between the two houses. I stated to hiim this is
not the case as the property line is defined in the legal description
and this is what the survey is going by, and that if he has a survey of
his house he should be able to confirm this. He says he does not have
a survey.

I said to him he is welcome to hire his own surveyor to check this. I
also said when I build the fence, I will be getting a permit and the
county will have to approve it and they will not approve it if the
fence is on his side. He walked away angry and says he is not going to
move the car.

Now I ****ed off a new neighbor and have a mess in my hand.

Any advise?

Any advice?

You have a terrible record of asking very important financial and legal
questions here.
Your first one was your series of questions about IRS liens, IIRC.

You have persisted in asking those very important financial and legal
questions here with resect to this transaction despite being advised
literally dozens of times by at least a half dozen people that you should
hire a real estate lawyer in Dade County to get your legal advice.
Apparently, you

What does the lawyer who represented you in this transaction say about the
car on the property which you allege is yours?

You noticed the car before the closing and after the survey, right?

You told your lawyer about the car before the closing, right?

Your lawyer did advise you to get buyer's title insurance, right?

You took your lawyer's advice and bought buyer's title insurance, right?

Go to your lawyer and the title insurance company and have them handle this.

Oh, you didn't hire a lawyer ? You wetre saving money on a multi hundred
thousand dollar invesmen, so you didn't want to spend $ 2 grand?

You didn't get buyer's title insurance because on a multi hundred thousand
dollar investment you wanted to save $ 1,500?

Sad.

But at least you saved lawyer's fees and the buyer's title insurance
premium.

You are too inept to own property.
