An Oklahoma homeowner thought he owned five acres bought from his grandfather in 1994, 32 years later, county claimed a 40-foot strip beside his house belonged to it and put a $47,000 value on it

An Oklahoma homeowner who bought five acres from his grandfather in 1994 says he believed the entire property was his. Three decades later, Oklahoma County claimed a 40-foot strip beside his house was county land tied to a 1916 road project. The county valued the strip at $47,000, but cancelled its proposed sale after protests. The underlying title dispute remains unresolved.
