Who owns this road?!?

[Derek Robinson]

I recently purchased a Mobile Home Park.  There is a small road off the main road leading to the park and the park is the only property the road services.  It you think of a T, my park is at the top of the T and there are two neighbors on either side of the T.

When you look at the property records, the road is sectioned off separately from my property and the neighbor's properties.  It is labelled the same way as all the other county maintained roads in the area.  I looked through the title work and there are no special easements or anything mentioning the road.

This road is in pretty bad shape.  I messaged the county to put in a work request.  They messaged me back stating that they do not own the road, so they will not make repairs.

To make this story more interesting, the county called me a few weeks after I purchased the park telling me that 'my' road needed a new culvert placed under the road, the current culvert was too small and when heavy rain falls, it is causing flooding and the neighbors have been complaining.  He said this was a new problem and the neighbors just filed a complaint.  I told him I thought it was a county road, and he said it's my road and if I don't remedy the situation, they could shut my park down.  Now this was not a 'formal request', just him calling.

I spoke with the former owners (owned for 14 years) and the owner before them.  Apparently the county as been harassing them for the past 16 years to fix 'their' road and threating to shut the park down if they don't comply.  The 2nd to last owner offered to fix the road if they would deed the land it sits on over to him, which they refused.

I spoke with an attorney and he said to do nothing.  If they send me official paperwork demanding that I make the repair, then he'd take on the case and fight them on it.

Anyone had any dealings with this?
