Suppose your dug in slip is 30 x 75. In some eyes, you could say you have 22501 sf less land and your lot should be described as smaller. In another view, one could say you have 180' more shioreline, measuring the slip. Neither of these changes actually occur on the tax rolls. We went through this with the tax assessor some years ago when Gilford first started using aerial information for mapping and said we had 600' of shireline. Easy fix with the assessor so our shoreline was as described in the deed, a line from point a to b.

Gotcha'. That has happened to us over the years even without the boathouse. Some assessors measured around every little corner of land and some measured point a to point b. Now we are at point a to b.
