§ 23177 County Boundary Tax Validation

Key Takeaways

  • •If two counties have used the same boundary line for taxes for 15 years in a row, that line is now officially the real boundary.
  • •This law makes old, long-used boundary lines legal, even if they weren’t officially set before.
  • •It only applies to boundaries that were used together by both counties for taxes.

Example

County A and County B have been using the same line between them for taxes since 1930, but it was never officially written down.

Because they used this line for more than 15 years before 1951, this law says that line is now the official boundary.
