Default Neighbors fence on my property.

My back neighbor's fence is on my property anywhere from 1 inch up to 6 inches in places. We have known about this since we moved
in but felt that 6 inches wasn't anything to really worry about. However, this neighbor has been nothing but a pain in the
behind. Last year he tried to claim 2 feet of our yard because a next-door neighbor was putting up a fence. He hired a company
to survey the property which clearly shows the fence is on my property. Now he is blowing his yard waste through the fence and
into my yard along with any sticks/branches that fall from his trees over the fence into my yard. We had planned on ignoring the
6 inches but now I want him to move the fence in accordance with city ordnance of 6 inches inside the property line.

We have been dealing with his unstable ways for 7 years now and I've had my limit. He was blowing leaves into our yard last night
and I politely stated, "Mr. Howard I would appreciate it if you did not blow your yard waste into my yard." He became very
belligerent and hostile, accused me of having an unkempt yard and kept calling me sweetheart. He said "There's nothing you can do
to stop me sweetheart." Sorry but that just sounds like a challenge to me and I've had enough of his condescending ways towards
women.

Two questions: Can I legally make him move the fence in a set period of time? Can I legally remove the fence that is on my
property?


It time to put up a 8 foot Privacy Fence
@ the city ordnance of
6 inches inside the property line.

Now he will not blow his yard waste through the fence no more into your yard
and for sticks/branches from his trees
Cut the one over the fence into your yard

And say to Him with a Big Smile
Thank you sweetheart
How you like your Trees




Funny how a post will start a flame war, but the OP never shows up again
to answer questions....

Whatever the neighbor blows through the fence can't amount to enough to
worry about, unless it is a wide open fence...very peculiar sounding
problem. Branches and twigs will fall where they may....if they fall
naturally from overhanging branches, they are your (OP) branches.

With a neighbor relationship already badly strained, it would be
foolhardy to try to move a fence that the OP didn't care about until
they got ****ed....IMO, it would be asking for permanent war and not
worth the cost.

When my folks moved to Florida after retiring, my mom spent lots of time
and effort landscaping the yard in the brand-new home. The neighbor
across the street had been "famous" in the 'hood for his landscaping,
but got royally ****ed at my mom when her yard looked better than his.
He had been friendly, but then never spoke to my folks again. Funny world.
