Neighbor attaching things to our fence

[coughiebean]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
We have a vinyl privacy fence that we had put in that our neighbors wedged a wooded rail road tie under. The fence is a completely on our property with a few inches to spare due to other issues we had with previous owner (builder). Do we have the right to have that wooden log (so to speak) removed or at least push it back? It is completely on our property and parts of it are literally wedged into our fence posts....

before you put fence in did you have survey done to show you where your lot line is ? You could try sending them a firm but polite letter via certified mail telling them you had the fence installed on your side of the property line and do not want them placing things onto your property and to please remove the items .

Make absolutely certain that your fence is inside your property line and mark the property line stakes so the neighbors know exactly where the line is.

They do NOT have the right to damage your property.

First, get the property survey done with proper markings, then have an attorney write a letter to remove the offending boards, and give them an estimate for a professional to remove the offending boards in that letter.

I would think a friendly visit would be better ... OP never stated that he even talked to his neighbor about it .. the neighbor might have not even noticed the issue.
