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.

How could I discover where property lines lie around my home?

You can usually find the survey specifications on your property on the deed to your property or on a mortgage documentation. These descriptions will provide specific landmarks by which you can determine the edge of your property. It might be advisable to build your fence several inches within your own property to avoid dispute if you are not consulting your neighbor before building it.
