Our township granted our neighbor a one foot variance to build an oversized garage a foot off our property line without having his land surveyed. We questioned the property lines as we knew his tape measurements were not correct and the township ignored our concerns. We paid hundreds by a reputable Engineering company to do a survey which showed the garage eves are over the property line, the garage is right on the line and a shed in the back that the neighbor built without a permit is over the line. Now the township still is doing nothing and we paid for an attorney who has done little because he is local.

Does anyone have any suggestions, we know we can not sell due to title insurance wont be able to obtained due to the encroachment and our value went down.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You won't like the answer, but you're going to need to hire a lawyer and sue them.
