My question involves real estate located in the State of: Harnett county North Carolina
My neighbor that Ive never met (usually lets out the house) came over today and told us our fence front is on her property (we were the last to move in and the back was already fenced on all three sides so we just ran fence over from the front corners of our house to butt up to theirs) So I pull out our surveyors map and measure out 12' from the footprint and we only have 1" over the line... she built right up to the line at the front of the house and let it run slightly back onto her property so at points shes about a foot back. I told her I could trim back the attachment an inch or two, but she still wont have access to the yard and would be tresspassing getting to it. I also told her we could go in TOGETHER to move the fence onto the line but she seemed resistant to that idea thinking she has a perfectly good fence. Now the funny part.... while looking at the zoning reference, her house is 1' from the property line way inside the 5' setback (actually think its a 10' setback) zoned RA-20R and the eaves are 4" over.
