Disagreement on location of property line for installing fence

[Jacky Johnson]

I'm a homeowner who plans to install a fence on my driveway along my property line to preserve privacy b/c there have been a lot of strangers going in and out of my neighbor's house constantly. I'm concerned. I gave a note to my neighbor (owner of her house) a few days ago that I'm going to start today and any post or rails will be on my side and I will pay the cost of the installation myself. In addition, the neighbor's trash bins have been next to my neighbor's side of the wall adjacent to my driveway. If I completely enclose the driveway with the fence, my neighbor will have to move her trash bins somewhere else b/c there won't be enough space to let those bins to pass through. I started the work today and my neighbor suddenly said I installed the posts past my property line and she will have to ask the county tomorrow to do an assessment about the location of the correct boundary line. I said I wouldn't object. I plan to ask her how long does the process take b/c I'm positive I did not install the posts past my property line (I measured it). What else should I do now and how should I continue to handle this situation?

Call the county yourself and ask for a survey of the property.  I would have this done before starting the fence.  Make sure you are there once the survey is done and take photos showing where they marked it (in case someone asks later or if anyone moves the stakes).
