We have a neighbor just like yours. We had a surveyor do a special surveyor for our one side bordering the neighbor. Found their fence posts were on our property. Only problem is they refuse to believe it and court is the only option. Unfortunately we got an attorney to go to Court, he required a $5,000 non-refundable retainer, then he tells us that in Florida a legal, certified survey is not acceptable in a Florida court without a written explanation attached to the survey AND the surveyor must agree to appear in Court to testify to the accuracy of the survey. We got nothing, not a letter to offending neighbor, NOTHING but that info for $5,000 and if we wanted to go any further he wanted more money. It is the most ridiculous law for a Court to not accept a certified survey. It would be worth it to have a survey done of that property line in dispute and tell whoever you get to attach the written explanation of areas in question as to whether or not that area in question is your property or that horrible neighbors. Odds are it's your property but good luck.........2 1/2 years of us dealing with the same issues and constant harassment acts by our neighbor and no end in sight unless one of us move or we can find tons of $$$ to go to Court. Police are a waste.........will do nothing even though they have stolen well over 12 survey flags we put out showing our property line.
