Now, here's the deal: if your neighbors complain about you moving the fence, tell them tough, that you have no choice, because they refuse to deal with the overgrowth. This "may" motivate them to say "ok, we will do something about the overgrowth". Now, if the fence has been in place longer than 7 years, you may have no legal right to move the fence, even though it is not on the property line or close to the property line, because after seven years, the courts can decide that it's the "understood" boundary. Regardless, get your property surveyed, find your corners, go from there. Don't assume you know where your corners are. |

You're out of luck. You bought the property knowing the fence was not on the property line. I'm sorry, but you are kind of screwed, and your neighbors know it.

Yeah, definitely take down that fence.. it isn't helping, and it is on your property. That seems like a good first step.. then mow it all down.. then build a new fence next year.

Would get it surveyed and proceed with putting a new fence up. More than likely they won't do anything once you give them a copy of the survey. Are they going to sue you? Probably not and probably won't contest it once you explain it to them. Have it surveyed while they are home so when they ask questions you and they know what's up. Or get some tordon from your local coop and cut them and spay the crap with them....tordon kills about everything long as you get it on a fresh cut stem or trunk. Just a few drops normally does it but has to be freshly cut off so it soaks in the roots.

I have always been scared of the old fence line shit. But, after purchasing 5 properties in 3 different states I have learned fence lines don’t mean shit. It goes by the survey.
Any way it has in Missouri, Texas and South Carolina. |

I never said that. I didn't have it surveyed. I only saw a copy of a survey when we purchased.

Don't do tear stuff down first. That's when people go to court and they only people who come out on top are the lawyers. Get your property surveyed, and then consult the survey company about your options. They may be able to lead you in the right direction. They may tell you the same thing I've already told you too. Land survey companies tend to deal with these types of issues, it's part of their job, because you ain't the only person with this type of problem. |

Get with a farmer friend and grab some industrial strength Roundup crap. The city kept coming after me for my lot in town, so I nuked it.

Not necessarily. Depends most likely on if there is a city or county ordinance. Generally, if a fence is wholly on his property, he is free to tear it down. You, again generally, only end up in situations like you speak of if the fence resides directly on the property line, known as a partition fence.
