What is the name of your state? Arkansas
I own approx 5.75 acres, the back of property is linked to state property (freeway).
The County wants to extend an access road, they will take approx 1 acre, I will lose my privacy and be "wide open" to the freeway (I am in a wooded area)
The County Judge wants me to "donate", I want a reasonable amount, what I am paying taxes on for that portion, he claims if I do not he will take me to court and I will get "nothing".
I know he can "take" it, does he HAVE to pay me a reasonable amount? I do not want to fight over this however I paid for it and feel the county should also.
I have found surveyors on my property, no permission from me, no paperwork from the county, is this legal?
BTW The Judge sold his very small piece to the state .07 acres for $24,600.
He claims that is "different".
He also claims the State owns part of my Property which separates the State property, the State put the fence up over 20 years ago.
Sorry so long!
TIA!
