My take on your dilemma, and the replies. As already stated, local laws apply, and legal assistance for you is advisable. Here in central NY, the county and towns don't own the road. Property lines go to the middle of the road, and the road is a 3 rod (49.5 feet) public 'right-of-way'. So you pay tax on all of it already. I doubt any money changes hands, BUT, I would work to make the county pay any and all expenses involved, namely any that would be dumped on you, including your representation. Years ago with a similar situation, a local farmer plowed up a road he thought was abandoned. But a person who owned some property down in the gully at the end of the road took everyone to task because he couldn't access his property from the other way as the old bridge was out. Turned out (surprise surprise) there was this oddity in the law called 'qualified abandonment'. This means the municipality no longer has to maintain the right of way, but the right of way still exists! The road was re-established, AND, the bridge was too! All of this to say, be very careful!

The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
