LOL

I bet this 'right of way" is included in the taxes paid each year!

Up here they dump snow in your front yard, which can get pretty deep - and don't even think about cleaning the drive and putting the snow in the street...

Your lot runs from the surveyor stakes (monuments made of metal rods or stones with a drill hole, but not always present) at the front corners of your lot and ends at the stakes at the back corner. There are maps that show monuments in roads, usually at intersections and turns. Around here, they are under a sqaure box with a big M on top. Surveyors start their measurements from these monuments. The maps show the extent of the right of way and where and how large each lot is. For a 50 foot right of way, you would measure 25 feet from the center line of the road. It usually ends just behind your front sidewalk if present. You don't have to pay taxes on that right of way.
