A question about property lines

[Detector]

Is there a standard or general size/dimensions for a city lot? I'm trying to figure out my property and am a bit confused.

My house sits on the east side of 8th and is the 3rd house from the north east corner lot. My deed says I own the south 5' of lot 3 and all of lot 4. Logically, you'd think lot 3 would need to be to my north, but how does the lot numbers work? It doesn't make sense.

The lot numbers where I live are numbered from the South. But I live in the County.

Good luck figuring this one out. Easiest thing to do would probably be to call, or go to city hall, and ask the engineering department. They've got everything plotted out so it should be easy to find. That would probably be a good place to start.

They had to have a survey done before they could sell it to you-----

(from my appraiser-brother)

Since your legal marker is to the North of you, the lots count up going South.

You own all of lot 4, which is the fourth lot from Spruce, and you own 5' of lot 3 which is your neigbor to your North. Therefore, your lot is 5' larger than a normal lot and your neigbor to the North's is 5' smaller on the south, and 4 foot samller on the North. Keep in mind that legal lot descriptions and common lots seldom correlate.

Your neigbor to the North, Roger Lopez, excludes the North 4' of the West 40' and excludes the south 5' of lot 3, block one, so he has a VERY small lot.

Your Lot Size is 48' (N-S) x 130 (E-W) So measure from your North fence to the South fence and you should get 48'. If you don't, you need to claim your property on the North or South. Without finding one of the stakes, you wont know which direction to go.

See plat map- Your property has a blue box around it.
