The back yard neighbor has put up a fence that is 1 1/2" on my
property.

One and a half **INCHES** ? Really? You're making a fuss about one
and a half **INCHES** ?

They have a survey. I also have a survey from the same surveyor.
I showed them where the line was. But they went ahead and did
this in order to have the entire top fit behind a phone pole that
is on their property. Had they not faced the good side towards
themselves, it would not have been an issue.

All that is on my property are the 4x4 posts and the top. Do I
have the right to slice the posts and top right at the line?

You'd better be damn sure that the survey is dead-nuts accurate,
before doing anything at all. And your next step after that should
be to talk to your neighbor.

There is no such thing. We like to think surveys are some kind of
exact science but when they actually started looking they find +/- a
foot is about as good as they get.

Surely you jest. I did fractions of an inch over 40 acres with a plane
table and alelaide. I got within 6" over 250 yards on my property with a
1x2 with two nails in the end.
