Not true. Landowners own to the center of the road. Roads are ROWs. Usually pay taxes on net acres (gross acres less ROW)While I dont necessarily disagree with this, I know the State and Counties do not allow row crop farming into the ROWs. A farmer near Rudd was farming almost 15 acres of State ROW, and that was a big debacle. One step further, county gis and ONX type systems, farmers only "own" up to the ROW. So they dont "own" to the center of the roads anymore or pay taxes to the center of the roads like they used to (just simply my understanding, no idea if thats the true case)
