One of my elderly aunts back in Nebraska owns several small patches of ground along with her farm and a couple rental houses.
One of the small patches used to have a street in town that turned into a road in the country. When the railroad added a second track they closed that crossing from where the town to country changes.
All was OK for several years until the county "deeded" back the road to the property owners it was originally "taken" from. So she now owns half that abandoned street in town. They increased her property tax by the amount of ground they "gave" back to her. She told them she didn't want it, but can't argue with government.
The property tax isn't the big issue now. Keeping the weeds down on 1/2 of a road is. It would cost more than that piece of property is worth to move the fence to the middle of the road and fill the grader ditch.
City is going in and mowing, then charging both owners for the mowing.
Just a rant, but maybe food for thought for all of us who own property where a road could possibly end up closed. DOUG
