RPR, Encroachments, and "Reserve" land

[ExtraSlow]

Nice. You should fact check everything everyone here said about easements and encroachments. The city has an easements department with nice people.

Still probably not worth the hassle, but nice to know if it's even an option.

Then slap everyone with a lawsuit. Find a lawyer who works on pure contingency.

I prefer lawyers that accept Dodge vehicles as payment

Can you give a little more detail about this? So this isn't an encroachment agreement, it's something different?

It is called a relaxation. I had the sellers get it. I received an RPR with some scribbles from someone at the City. Other than that I don't know anything. My realtor suggested I get it and the lawyer agreed because part of the concrete patio is in the ROW - sellers never got a permit for any of the patio and deck work in the backyard.

Interesting. Ill look into it but it sounds like more of an after-the-fact permit thing rather than actually giving a pass on encroachments

You will never get a pass. You cannot get a permit. It is too late. The best you can do is to formally acknowledge that the City is allowed to bulldoze the items at their whim.

Update for me, city granted all 6 of my easements requested just before Christmas. Took about 3 months and $550. Garage eaves, greenhouse, shed, and retaining walls all granted.
