Not sure about the law, today, but in the 70’s, a friend’s parents bought a nice place, where the residence in Danbury, CT was on a piece of land that crossed the border into Brewster, NY. The tax hassle, etc. was so bad they tried to sell the 1/4 acre in NY for $1.00 - but no one would take it. They ended up selling the property at a loss, just to get out, from underneath it.

I'm surprised by that.One would think it would be easy...10,000 square feet of land,without a residential structure,is located in Anytown,NY...the rest of the "plot" is located in Anytown,CT.Two bills...one for 10,000 sq ft from NY...and another from CT.

But then maybe I'm not factoring in self centered politicians and self centered lawyers.
