I thought something similar. The utility box looks from the photo as if it is in the right place at the edge of the property; but that the house looks as if it does not meet "normal" setback requirements. I don't know what Sumpter County's setback requirements are. I'm used to requirements that buildings be no closer than 35 feet from the edge of the property line.
Penquin, is your home within 35 feet of the back and/or side of your lot? It looks that way from the photo, but maybe due to other construction, they just haven't completed putting in the sod.
It seems that it would be at least worth a call find out why the utility box is closer to your home than shown on the platt.
