Discussion:
Laws 2013, Chapter 46 amended Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 11-251.16 to
allow a county, at the request of a property owner, to abandon a federal patent
easement established by the Small Tract Act of 1938. On May 7, 2014 the
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Ordinance No. P-34,
adopting procedures for the abandonment of Federal Patent Easements. The
Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has considered and
processed this request for abandonment in strict accordance with A.R.S. Section
11-251.16 and Ordinance No. P-34.
