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.



Sounds to me like an ass got a free fence - but by rights the fence
should be 6 inches inside the property line according to MOST zoning -
which requires 2 fences 1 foot apart to separate properties UNLESS
there is an agreement to share the fence. What the OP SHOULD do is
finish his side of the fence to his satisfaction and shut up. He
didn't have to pay gor holes and posts.
