The contractors are supposto get a permit and so are you if you put up a fence in the state of florida. You need to get a copy of your survey, call the city permit office and have them come out to make sure its on your property. If you didnt get a permit, and you have your survey and the neighbors are correct , you will need to move your fence. I had the same problem with a contractor...he put my fence 2 inches into my neighbors yard...He was responsible to come and move it. 2 Feet is a BIG mistake! Good Luck Did you put up the fence or did you hire someone to do it?

First, you could have another surveyor survey your property. The first surveyor could have made a mistake. Second, you could ask the neighbor to leave the fence where it is and in return mow your neighbor's two feet of property as long as you own your property. Of course, you will be paying your neighbor's property taxes on your neighbor's two feet of property. Third, you and your neighbor can leave the fence where it is and let your neighbor mow the two feet on your side of the fence. That's what my parents and their next door neighbor decided to do.

If they did we would need to spend money on surveyers. the old line amongst surverys is THE FIRST LIAR IS ALWAYS RIGHT. typically a surveyor will have another company resurvey a disputed marker .... not sure how to contest this Typically the city inspects the fence for height and visibility concerns at interchanges they don’t usually have anything to do with certifying a property line.

Maybe you can strike some deal with him, pay him a bit of money for his trouble. Otherwise, I don't see a real good solution.
