Document everything.

Send them a well-written letter demanding they remove their fence from your property, including proof of survey, etc. via certified mail (so they must sign and acknowledge receipt of letter). Tell them they have 30 days to remove it or you will have it removed and send them an itemized bill for said removal.

When it comes time to take action, if the neighbor calls police, show the popo the proof and they should tell neighbor it's a civil matter and won't make you stop. Remove the fence and deposit all materials back on the neighbor's property so they cannot claim theft. Record the removal on video of possible.

You can try r/legaladvice, but they'll likely just tell you to contact them state bar for a referral to an appropriate attorney.

If the surveyor hasn't already, have them mark the corners of the property in a way that cannot be altered.

this is great advice but I would be very worried about neighbor flipping out and going full crazy/violent/tire slashy.

That's a possibility, but any action taken (and some kind of action needs to occur lest OP cede rights to their property) could trigger the neighbor.

They could ask for police presence when they begin removal?
