Land surveyed, new concrete bound removed by neighbor...
Hopefully someone here has been through this and has the answers to this
problem. Neighbor was encroaching on the property. Had property surveyed and square concrete boundary markers put in the ground at each marker point. Where the neighbor was encroaching previously the new concrete boundary marker has been removed, tree planted, bricks put in place, etc. In our state moving or removing a surveyor's stone or concrete boundary marker is punishable by a $50. fine and/or six months in jail. Although I really feel that the "neighbor" removed the concrete marker, there is presently no proof who did it, but his encroachment is starting again. Property line is 3 feet from the foundation of his house. Opinions and/or experiences with this kind of problem would certainly be appreciated. Joe |

I have the same neighbor, different area and rougher ride.
My neighbor has continuously moving the iron pins, cutting my shrubbery down, planting his in my lot, and etc. He is a typical bible thumping, retired, southern redneck. First he claimed "30 years ago" when he was at work his landscaper must have planted his bushes in my lot. Then came a plea for me to allow him the use of the land. (We each have 1.37 acres) Then came "I now own the land due to the twenty year law". Then came adverse possession claims. Along the way I have spent about $6,000.00 dollars. A portion to have new survey performed. He was quick to tell me our plats, plots, and surveys were older than the five year term for court purposes. The survey showed and documented his railroad ties beginning at the common line, on my side, and then ending at the same line a couple of hundred feet up. Everytime we hire an attorney, he changes his version of how he owns that portion of my lot, none of which can be used in Georgia.

Get it surveyed, then put up a fence, just to the inside of your property
line. Do it before he does! Greg "Zadigvolta" wrote in message ... Hopefully someone here has been through this and has the answers to this problem. Neighbor was encroaching on the property.

Joe You contact the surveyor you paid and ask for a drawn plat showing the encroachment. With that in hand you make a cheap photo copy and enclose it with a friendly letter sent certified mail to the neighbor asking him to "remove plantings, fence or whatever remedy you want". Give him 15 days to respond. When he does not do what you asked, you turn the entire matter over to an attorney. This entire process cost me $500. $350 of which was for the attorney. Colbyt |

This is exactly the solution I would do too. Don't wait - don't ask - don't
beg. Just put up a fence (withh permits if required and be done with it. While you're at it, unless code requires differently, put the ugly side facing him and make it as tall as the code allows. "HaHaHa" wrote in message ... From: "Colbyt" F that. It's a subdivision, so just yank out whatever he's done on your property, return it onto his, stick a fence up if you want and let HIM sue YOU. Put HIM on the offense if you know you're right. He's in the wrong so, let him discover that the hard way, after he suffers the expense of an attorney, and attorney discovers client can't win and tells him to drop it, along with the $350.00 to his PO box. |

You might also check to see what the setback requirement is. His house may be too close to your property. I would put up a chain link fence one inch inside the property line. (the fence is your cheapest effective option if the Sheriff won't do anything) Bob |

Thank you everyone! I meet with the original surveyor who put in the
concrete boundary markers, tomorrow. He told me that there is a $500. fine and/or a prison term of 6 months in our state for whoever tampers with a boundary marker. I am very tempted to pull out the tree, the bricks, etc. and throw them on his land and may still do that, in order to put the pressure on him, however, the surveyor advises against it, as we may get him legally. So we will get a drawn plat showing the encroachment as suggested by Colbyt, will make a cheap copy, send it to him, give him 15 days in the accompanying certified letter, and then pull out the tree, bricks, plastic fence, etc. if he doesn't. Calling the sheriff sounds very good too, as we have one who would really follow through. All your answers are very appreciated! Proper knowledge = decisive action. Thanks, Joe |
