What to do when your neighbors barn is partly over property line?

Hope that you have an agreement with your neighbor that allowed this and did not require him to remove it at his expense, because if not it is possible, depending on the laws of the state where this is the situation, your neighbor may have obtained legal rights to the land immediately beneath that part of the barn, through what's called "adverse possession". If you're sure this is the case, you may still be able to get your neighbor to agree and waive adverse possession just to keep peace between you, but you'll most likely have to continue to allow the barn to stay where it is.
This is a complex issue and you should consult with an attorney. Any encroachment on your property constitutes a title defect and should be resolved before you sell or refinance your property or it passes to your heirs.

What is encroachment on property?
An encroachment is an infringement on someone else's rights or intrusion on another person's property. It is most often used when describing real property such as the corner of an neighbor's garage that extends over the property line or a driveway that gradually grew over the property line and is now partly on your neighbor's land. Encroachments are often caused by surveyor error in placing the pins marking the boundaries in a subdivision and the party who built their swimming pool partly on their neighbor's land was not at fault.

Can planting be placed right next to a neighbors fence?
If the plants are on your property they may be planted along your neighbors fence. However, climbing plants that will grow over the fence cannot be planted along your neighbors fence. Caveat: Make sure your neighbor has not installed the fence "inside" their property line so it lies a short distance FROM the property line. That is the practice in some areas and is required by the city ordinances in some areas. In that case, the land along the fence would belong to your neighbor. You need to determine where the property line is located and not assume the fence is on the property line.

No. You should make certain your property line is clearly marked by some sort of boundary markers such as iron posts at the corners with the tops painted a fluorescent orange. You should also make certain your neighbor is aware of the location of the property line. You must remain vigilant about your neighbors use of your property making certain they don't expand their own property up to your fence in order to prevent any future claim of adverse possession.
What is building line in plat of survey?
A building line is a distance from the street or edge of your lot that you cannot build in. A building line can be in the front, side and rear yards. You can find building lines by looking at your property survey or the title policy you received when you purchased the property. For example, if you see a line running accross the front yard on your survey that says building line, you cannot build between that line and the street in front of your property. You can only get permission from your local municipality to build beyond the building line if the municipality was the body who placed building lines on your property. If your developer created the building line when he filed the plat of subdivision with the county, and your neighbors have not violated the building line, then most likely you will not be able to build beyond that line.
