In most cities there's a minimum lot density as well as a minimum distance the property line must be from any structure. You can build a fence in the wrong place and the neighbor may not object - but if moving the property line will put it too close to the neighbor's house or make his lot fall below the minimum lot size, then the city isn't going to issue a new deed no matter what lien you get.
