Our recently purchased property is located in Erie County, NY. We have noticed that the depth of our property is inaccurate. How do we get this changed? According to the filed developement plans half of our yard should be under water, part of the drainage pond (borders the back side of our property according to the survey we got from city hall). How do we get this changed?
When the bank surveyed the lot using the footage on the deed - we loose half of our backyard, our dog kennel, fire pit, and waterfrontage. But we still have waterfront property. I don't get it!
This has become a major problem with summer approaching due to children fishing, teens smoking and making out, and some adults tresspassing as well. The worse - there is a little boy - that pees directly inline with our bed room window.
We have a well trained dog that stays in the yard - but you
never know dogs are dogs. We don't know if we can put a fence up and /or can stop mantaining the back.

Thanks for the help everyone. I will be going down to the county clerks office during lunch today, have emailed the town, and have contacted my closing attorney. I knew there was an issue at closing, but never though we'd have more than a couple kids a day fishing down near the water.
It's sad. It's a nice area. We just want our privacy and land respected. I'm hoping to find an area that has public access, so I can redirect kids to cut down to the water in another area.

You have recourse with surveyor..not accurate. How do you know the survey is wrong?? Drainage pond may be an easement you can't use. Survey (drawing) should also come with a legal description in writing of the property size, metes and bounds. Contact your closing attorney for legal description.

You will have to do a records search and find out which one is correct. It is possible that the original development placed the back side of the property under the lake, say high water line, or 500 year flood level. Just because someone told you that the land was yours doesn't make it so. You should have raised the question when you got the original survey at your closing. It will be hard to change at this stage unless you have a very good record.

If its incorrect, have it re-surveyed and pay for it!
If you're correct, see the RE company that sold you the property and look for satisfaction monetarily from them to fix the problem and the seller in the same note.
The County will adjust their documents if found wrong information has been directed to them by a third party. Then go after that surveyor as well.
Keep digging and you'll come up with a pay-or!
