Can you put up a fence with permission then land sold and i want to move it can i?
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!

Who owns fence on zero lot line?
On a zero lot line property, the ownership of the fence typically depends on local laws and the specific agreements between neighboring property owners. Generally, if the fence is placed directly on the property line, both owners may share responsibility for its maintenance. However, if the fence is on one owner's property, that owner is usually responsible for its upkeep. It's advisable for neighbors to discuss and clarify ownership and maintenance responsibilities to avoid disputes.
Land owner next to you intentionally put a fence up 12 inches over your property line before you bought your land and will not pay to move it to the property line or go half on it. What to do?
It is a trespass and if it is not removed upon your request, you can have a court order it to be removed. If you ignore this long enough, the neighbor may eventually be able to claim the property line has moved to the fence, and you will lose valuable land rights. On the other hand, you can also provide the neighbor with a "limited license" to use that strip of your property, and propose that he pay some nominal rent until such time as the fence is removed or other mutual agreement is made. That way the fence is no longer evidence of "hostile exclusion" which would be necessary for adverse possession.
What part of the fence is mine?
The part of the fence that is yours typically extends from the boundary marker or property line to your side of the fence. If there are no clear markers, it's often understood that the fence belongs to the property owner whose side the fence faces. You might also want to check local property records or agreements with neighbors to clarify ownership. If in doubt, discussing it with your neighbor can help resolve any uncertainties.
May I enter my neibors property to maintain his side of the fence?
