DESCRIPTION
Many of the roads in the State of Florida and within Polk County were constructed years ago with narrow or non-existent rights-of-way. To correct this situation, Florida Statutes allow the State, County, or Municipality to file a map as prima facie evidence of ownership of the road with the Clerk of Circuit Court in the County in which the road lies. The State, County, or Municipality is required to certify that it has maintained the roads continuously for a minimum of seven years.
Maintained right-of-way maps have been prepared for the following roads lying within Polk County:
1. Firetower Road from a point where deeded right-of-way terminates thence westerly for approximately 160 feet to a point near an existing gate. The right-of-way is located in Section 10, Township 29 East, Range 28 East.
