Yes it is.
OK. The important word here is grantee".
An easement allowes a grantee ( utility for example) to use the property for a purpose (light post, hydrant, road signs, etc).
A right of way means a grantee (utility) may crossover the property in the performance of their duties (repair of light post, hydrant, road signs).
You still own and pay tax on it and maintain it. Total strangers cannot park on it, dig it up, or let their dog poop on it, or set up camp on it.
All that lovely lawn and garden belong to you. That is why the sprinklers are located on the outer edge.

I'll grant that I need to maintain it and it would be difficult to prove whether I'm being taxed on it but I'm pretty darned sure I don't own it.

On my drawings there is a dark line around the what I believe to be my property. At certain points it shows that my shrub beds are 5.0' from the side lines and 10.0' from the back lines. It shows the side lines cutting between the meter boxes for both the potable water and the irrigation water. This dark line must by my property line.

In the front, this dark line is 3.5' back from the edge of the road. Since my driveway extends to the road, the drawing shows that 3.5' of my driveway is on the roadway side of what seems to be my property line.

Given the above, either:
- There is 3.5' of land between my property and the street that I am required to maintain but that I do not own;

OR,

- I own 3.5' beyond that dark line which also means the neighbor's meter boxes are on my property and I own 3.5' of property that my neighbors thought was theirs.

Which seems more likely?

(The point about the sprinklers is interesting)

For peace in your life
You can only change you
The pepper ASAP then get the sprinklers
Change how you react and the problem will fix it self

The meters belong to the grantee (water co.).
What makes you think the county, city, etc, has you personally on the hook to water, mow, treat their lawn? Naw.
When we bought (new) the sprinklers were in, landscaping, such as it was, was in, signs and light post, in, phone box, cable box, in. The grantees put them in an easement portion of our yard, and grantees may enter or cross right of way parts of our yard to perform necessary work.

I didn't say I owned the boxes, that's a different discussion. I said if my property extends 3.5' beyond the line marked on my drawings then both neighbors' meter boxes are actually on my property. Of course, that doesn't sound right, the line is the property line and I own up to my side of it which means I don't own the 3.5' between the road and my property line.

My understanding is that it was the developer who owned it until the CDDs took over. It has been an area reserved for work and possible expansion of roads. It is not for public use any more than a (public) judge’s office is available for public use. The homeowner is required to maintain it, but unlike sidewalks, that area is not designated for the public.

How did we get from dog poop to water meter placement?

Just about every thread on this board gets hijacked. Maybe it's an old people thing because it doesn't happen on other forums that I frequent.

Because these threads are discussions and not dissertations?

That may be considered assault in Florida?

It’s called utility easement which most villagers ignore (It their land they have limited or no use of it). Like all the bricked in yards in CYVs, first time have water leak and all bricks are torn out in line with meter they be first to whine.

Do I need to do a wellness check on you?

What forums are those? I've never seen that phenomena...

You are wrong. I only pay taxes on the property that I own, which is the property inside the property line as defined by the property survey. The property survey states that the property outside of the property line is a right of way, not an easement. If I owned property outside of the property line, and they wanted to widen the road, they would need to buy that property from me. You said the property to the street was an easement, but the official survey clearly states that it is a "right of way", not an easement. Property ownership is defined by a property line, not by a right of way or an easement.
