Title issues slow DHCD Scott Town project; county assigns attorney and surveyor
Summary
County staff reported title and parcel-splitting issues at the DHCD Scott Town project; an attorney and surveyor have been assigned to resolve partition and deed questions before grant-funded work can proceed.
Staff updated the board that the DHCD Scott Town project on county property faces title complications that must be resolved before final grant-related work can proceed.
The county installed project signage and has assigned an attorney to examine title issues. Staff said they are working with a surveyor and described a day-long meeting at the Planning District Commission where family members met with the attorney to discuss partitions and deeds. Staff emphasized that some parcels may be resolved with a real estate affidavit, while others may require formal partition suits to settle competing family ownership claims.
The county asked constituents with questions about the project to contact the county administrator—s office. Staff noted the title and partition issues are a common obstacle to rural land assemblage for grant-funded housing projects and that resolving them can require legal costs and time.
