This has been a ridiculously long slog to get our twenty acres split into two parcels. We started the process back in October and have been battling to keep the process moving. There are numerous government agencies, county departments/officials, and private companies involved. I’ll name the ones that I can recall:
Our Surveyor
County Planning and Zoning
County Commissioners
County Assessor
County Treasurer
County Recorder
County Surveyor
County Contracted Surveyor
Department of Health
Highway Department
Irrigation District
Documents bounce around endlessly for review and signatures between these parties, often exchanged multiple times. Every time it changes hands, a new waiting period begins as each party is allowed a set amount of time to complete their given tasks. The hassle I went through today, pushing hard through the last remaining steps and solving the problems that came up, easily sped up the process two-three weeks. Crazy! We officially have a new address. I cringe at the thought of all the updating of accounts and documents this will require. On top of all those changes, we probably won’t get any mail or packages for a long time. Google, after five years, never could send anyone to our correct location.
Landon and I made a quick pit stop at Drake’s class to drop off cupcakes for the summer birthday crowd.
Dumped a lot of stuff at the auction, so we’ll see how that goes and I came back loaded with an excavator I rented for the weekend.
