Exception doesn't always mean exception. 33 feet reserved for a street that never happened. Sounds like more of a future condition that didn't happen and so stays with your lot. Would need to examine all the chain of evidence in the area though. This is a tricky one that even if true might not be picked up on by many surveys or attorney opinions, so don't fault the surveyor too much for showing it held by the neighbor deed (which of course it might be).
Your map is sideways, which direction is north?
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!
We just got a call from the lawyer explaining that the surveyor was able to determine that the tax maps were entered incorrectly and that my parents legally own the entire plat!!! The neighbor can choose to request the tax boundary lines be re-drawn, but for now, my parents will receive a survey showing that they own the whole lot which means they can sell their house without having to tell people that the garage isn't included 🙂
I can't say thanks enough.
>The owner of the adjoining lot is my dad's brother.
We be calling that an uncle up north.
when you get that map, take it to the assessors office and have them redraw the parcel lines
Awesome!! I dare say surveyors in general would spend more time on an interesting issue to help someone than finish billable boring work! Especially on a Friday. I guarantee people were googling anything they could find to find your property online. It's like a friendly competition.
But I'm worried that your actual surveyor couldn't figure this out on his own.
