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?

You're going to build a fence so it doesn't matter if he is ****ed or not.
Tell him to move the car or lose the half on your side. Probably not legal
to have disabled vehicles sitting around anyway.

Also shouldn't be threatening him about the law and his cars. Noone
likes a rat for a neighbor. It's one thing to insist on the land the
OP thinks he owns, but to imply he will sic the cops on the neigbor is
nasty.

If the OP were going to look at them all the time and didn't want to,
that would be one thing, but he's building a fence. If it is a solid
fence, he's already imposiing on the neigbhor because even though he
has a right to build a fence, the neighbor probably likes the view and
the unfettered breeze that goes through his back yard.
