Property lines - what’s the legal term?

[Rookie]

My neighbor had his neighbor plant his fence a foot past his property line. My neighbor was unable to sell his house until the fence was moved or the property line moved.

I have a similar situation.
My next door neighbor put up a privacy fence to keep his chickens in but the fence is roughly 4" inside my property line (surveyed and staked).
It makes it nearly impossible to mow because it is up against my house, about 4' or so wide.
Now I don't want to make a big deal about it but I think it should be on record in case of future problems.
What should I do?

Oh, and he didn't ask either.

Post #7. Sorry this gets me twisted up.

Not sure where you got the 4"s from. The OP did not state an actual depth of encroachment.
4"s is really not much.

The Ops original msg said the encroachment was 4”, not 4 feet. That might make a difference in how big a deal it is to him.

OP is Hoosierdood. the 4"/4' is from Flightsimmer's threadjack: 4" inside his property line, 4' clearance to mow

Sometimes I do skim read much to my fault.

There is always a lot of ground to cover.
