If someone has built a fence on your property, the first thing that you need to do is to send them a letter informing them of it and requesting that they remove the fence. If they do not respond, then you will have to hire an attorney to make them move it. It will require that a surveyor comes out and verifies who is right and who is wrong.
If my neighbor builds a new fence and it will infringe on my property.

Well I believe if your fence is on someone else is property and they don't like it they can take you to court. And if they can prov it you can be court order to move it.
If you "put up" the fence, one might presume that you purchased the materials and provided the labor, making it "your" fence, even though it may be located on land owned by someone else. Under this theory you did not "give" them the fence; rather they "permitted" you to occupy part of their property with your fence. The fence did not get sold with the property, as it was not theirs to sell. You may reclaim your fence by asking permission to enter the property and remove your personal property; the fence. If the new owners do not permit you access, you can obtain permission from the court to enter the property to remove your fence, or obtain an order for the landowner to remove you fence and return it to you at your cost. It would help to have an affidavit from the previous owner that states it is your fence. If the previous owner disagrees, or the new owner claims the fence is now his, then you can sue the previous owner and new owner, jointly and severally, for the value of your fence that they have "converted" to their own personal use, or sue in replevin to obtain the return of your property. This will be a fine welcome to the neighborhood for the new owners!
If your neighboring is putting up a jagged fence and the nice side is facing his property, he can do this if the fence lies on his property. The neighbor can put up the fence of his choice.
In Missouri, fence possession laws are primarily governed by the "fence law," which outlines the responsibilities of property owners regarding boundary fences. Under Missouri law, adjacent landowners are generally required to share the costs of maintaining a boundary fence unless an agreement states otherwise. If a landowner builds a fence on their property, they typically have the right to possess and maintain it, but they should ensure it does not encroach on their neighbor's land. Disputes regarding fences can often be resolved through negotiation or, if necessary, legal action.
A fence is real property because it is permanently affixed to the land.
The fence cannot be outside your property line.
No, it is not permissible to remove your neighbor's fence that is on your property without their permission.
As long as the fence is on your property, no.
Yes, they can refuse. The fence is their property, so you must have permission to join their fence to yours. If not, you can build to the edge of your property line, leaving a gap between the two. You can have your property surveyed to determine your exact property line, and if their fence is on the line you can connect at those points only. You can also make them remove the fence if it's on your property.
Find your exact property line..... then come on your side of it just a few inches and then the entire fence is on your property as opposed to building right on the property line where it would be on both properties.
