Property line staked by neighbor, but differs from our staking...
Hello. We are completing the replacement of the retaining walls in the back and side yard. My property was surveyed as part of the permit process and I also had staking done. The side neighbor was concerned after the new wall had been built and brought in his own surveyor to stake.
The rear corner is in question. His surveyor's stake is 6 inches onto our property and shows the last 1/4 of the wall strays about 3-4 inches onto his property as it approaches that rear corner. Our stake in that corner had been buried and the contractor confirmed that he had verified before building by by measuring distance per the survey from the other rear corner stake that was intact. He feels that we are within our boundary.
The wall has been built and all that remains is the fence. I'm not sure how to proceed legally and otherwise given the differing stakes in the rear corner. My neighbor has stated that he wants no part of this new wall, fence, etc on his property.
Thank you for any advice.
