My question involves an easement in the state of: Iowa
A couple of years ago I was informed by my neighbor's contractactor that my property had an 8 foot utility easement along our property line. After a bit of reseach, I found that the original property was actually a rather large parcel with the easement already defined bordering my neighbor. That parcel was subsequently devided into 3 lots and houses built on them between 1910 and 1918, mine being the last. My house and garage both were built on the easement, the house 2 foot onto the easement and garage roughly 4 foot. Now, nearly 100 years after the fact, does the easement have material affect on my property rights. Certainly when comparing my taxes to my neighbors, it doesn't appear that the county recognizes it.
