I am writing this in regards to roadblocks I’ve been running into concerning the land transfers. I started the procedure to have property transferred to me last fall. It has been almost a year now, and although it has gone through all departments and has been deemed “buildable”, I am at a standstill on the final survey and official transfer.
I have also heard from the folks at Tribal Realty that some people have been waiting two years and that mine may be another year because of a shortage of qualified surveyers. This unacceptable!
I am in an undesirable living situation right now, and although frustrating, I will be ok. But, what concerns me more is that other people have been waiting so long for a simple survey. We are talking about people’s lives here and the necessary need to have housing available. What, if anything, is anybody doing to expedite these surveys? Two years? Really?
