@ Harrygio3:

Do you have a clean and clear hard copy title on the property that you purchased? I would get a second and third opinion on authenticity of that document, if so. And have you looked at your parcel? I ask because it is likely knee deep underwater.

Three things I would do immediately if you haven't already: Find a real estate attorney who you can guarantee is NOT involved with ANY facet of GBE and get a professional assessment of your title. Try a private office in Punta Gorda, perhaps. Second, go and put your own eyes on the property. A key indicator is the water line on the mangroves. You will notice one of two things, either you will have an immediate need for a rubber wading suit or you will notice from the water line on the vegetation that you will require one very soon to get to your parcel. There are only a few acres of littoral not in the water shed. Third, inquire with the utility companies about plans for utilities to GBE. If you're not laughed out of the office then I consider that about the best you can hope for.

If you are extremely lucky then you have an authentic clean and clear deed in your hand for one of the five higher lots immediately next to the eastern most border of the subdivision. The problem is that the only stretch of usable road that subdivision will see in the next 200 years will be the eastern most border as it bypasses the subdivision entirely to get to, assuming they pan out at all, a planned golf course and resort across the lagoon from town. The southern most E/W road within the subdivision is slightly out of the water, but the road will stop a tank and there's no incentive to fix it as rumor has it that most lots are now sold.

Best of luck.
