Lease size discrepancy

[doghouse]

Being a land owner there are lots of things that can reduce or add to the amount of acres in any pasture.

You leasing from Sippy?

Genius. Pure genius.

It would be an issue that I would have to address if I was paying by the acre and it was more than about 5%.

Every time a thief thread hits this screen, bunches of folks say " I hate a thief ". If the landowner is seriously misrpresenting the acreage, then he is a thief ! And good lease or not, I would call him on it if I could prove that he was, in fact , lying about the acreage.

I agree however if I am paying per gun and was happy with the lease then I wouldn't confront the landowner about it. If I am paying per acre then I am gonna say something whether I am happy or not.

It's hard to believe that somebody doesn't know how much land they own. I wonder how many people have found out they are getting more acreage than they are paying for?

I can see that as a valid reason for a few acres over several years, but does your tax bill change with the river also?

If you were happy with what you have before you found out, and happy with the landowner, then it really should not make any difference. If you are unhappy and looking for an out, then it could make a big difference.

+1 on the maps issue. I have a ranch that has been in the family for quite some time (100 years or so). I think there are 6 different records with the County.

Dang it. Must have missed this one. Anyone care to shed some light so I can giggle too?

Google Earth pro has an area calculator too. Just draw lines on the fences.
