And the Salvation Army was okay with you putting a fence on their property? I think you've muddied the waters here by putting a fence on his property. I can't imagine any property owner who wouldn't have a problem with that. You know he could demolish your fence and not have to give any kind of restitution to you for it because it's on his property? I would be pretty pissed if someone put a fence on my property, regardless of where I decided to put my fence on my property. I mean, just because I put my fence closer to my house does not then give my backside neighbor the right to put their fence on my property.

I could potentially see a judge saying that because you put your fence around it, that makes it yours...

But, like I said, property lines usually rule the day here. Just go get a copy of the property records and show him that it is indeed his responsibility. Or just wait for it to fall on his house and when his insurance tries to come after you, they won't because they'll look at the property lines and realize it's on his property.

It is a problem that you put a fence around it. How are they supposed to get to it to cut it down if it's inside your fence?
