My neighbor is known as the “enforcer” for our homeowner’s association.

I just was walling my property line and realized that his patio and retaining wall are “on my property” and not ten feet back per the code. He will get the legal notice if he gives me trouble again.

If you let it go long enough it becomes his property under "adverse possession" law.

You'd bettter give him legal notice asap. Don't know the laws of your particular state, but you might want to look up the term "adverse posession". If you don't object to his use of your property, he could claim it.

You need to give him the notice yesterday!

Seriously, you are allowing the creation of an easement by not enforcing the line.
