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.

How close to a property line can one plant a tree?
It depends on local regulations, but typically trees should be planted at least 5 to 10 feet away from a property line to avoid disputes with neighbors and ensure the tree has enough space to grow properly. Always check with your local municipality for specific guidelines.
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.
What are some common reasons for a gap between neighbors' fences?
Common reasons for a gap between neighbors' fences include property line discrepancies, uneven terrain, differing fence installation methods, and lack of communication between neighbors.
