A: You probably need to file either a Quiet Title Action, Complaint to Determine a Boundary or some other Declaratory Judgment Action. You will need to hire a competent attorney to search your title, the adjacent titles, and decide what type of legal proceeding is needed. It will not be easy nor cheap. Apparently the Tax Assessor has notice of some type of land dispute. And you will probably need a survey.
