property line goes thru the pool that i purchased with the home.
I was unaware of this untill after I closed on the property. The seller said he knew of the issue as well as the assesors office during the appraisal and survey and said he would take care of it. Turns out the seller’s dad owns the connecting property and the dad is now telling me to take the pool down because its on his side. what are my options

I do not completely follow your question. If you purchased the home with this issue and the seller disclosed this fact than you would be responsible in 99% of cases for either having acknowledged and accepted or would have been able to back out of the deal.
If the seller knew and did not disclose this information you may have a possible avenue to pursue although you have to call a local attorney to inquire as to what if anything they advise you do in your specific area as a local attorney has a better idea of the laws and regulations surrounding your area
the part that is confusing is the issue with the seller father as that may be a benefit to you if they seemed to have schemed without telling you. You do however have an issue that is a buyer is responsible for looking into items such as this and either taking care of it or accepting or rejecting the property based on that. This being said you should call a local attorney to see if there is a catch that may help you out otherwise you may have no choice but to comply
