Unfortunately, being fenced with your home doesn't mean you legally own it, at least here in California. Your paperwork should show 2 Assessor Parcel numbers if both properties were sold to you. Sounds like maybe only the lot with your home was actually transferred to you. Are you receiving and paying 2 tax bills every year? If not, that other lot may not be yours. I'm sorry this is happening to you. If your property is in California, I'd be happy to review the paperwork for you.
