Changes to land ownership and property use rarely arrive with flashing warning signs. More often, they begin with small clues that are easy to overlook—a notice in the mail, a surveyor working nearby, a conversation with a neighbor, or a proposed development map making the rounds online. It’s tempting to assume these things don’t affect you, especially when they seem to be happening somewhere else.
