Davie to Certify ROW Ownership of SW 58 Ave via Maintenance Map
The Town of Davie is authorizing officials to certify and file a right-of-way maintenance map for a constructed portion of SW 58 Avenue under Florida Statute §95.361(3), establishing the map as prima facie evidence of public ownership of that roadway segment. This action formally documents the Town's ownership claim over the right-of-way, which can affect adjacent property boundaries and access rights.
What this means for you
Parcels fronting or abutting the affected segment of SW 58 Avenue could see their legal boundaries, access rights, or encroachment exposure clarified — or complicated — once the Town formally establishes prima facie ROW ownership. Developers and owners with land near this corridor should pull the attached maintenance map to confirm where the public ROW line falls relative to any existing improvements, easements, or planned site plans. Any encroachments identified as a result of this filing could trigger removal requirements or affect title insurance. Bottom Line: Pull the attached ROW maintenance map for SW 58 Avenue immediately to verify boundary exposure on any adjacent or nearby parcels before this resolution takes effect.

Davie to Certify ROW Maintenance Map for SW 58 Ave Under F.S. 95.361
The Town of Davie is considering a resolution authorizing town officials to certify and file a right-of-way maintenance map for a constructed portion of SW 58 Avenue as prima facie evidence of the town's ownership under Florida Statute Section 95.361(3). Filing this map creates a statutory presumption of municipal ownership over the identified right-of-way corridor.
What this means for you
Florida Statute 95.361(3) allows a municipality to establish prima facie ownership of a maintained right-of-way by recording a certified maintenance map — a low-cost alternative to a quiet title action that can preempt adverse claims. Attorneys representing property owners, developers, or adjacent landowners along SW 58 Avenue should review the attached map immediately: once filed, the burden shifts to any challenger to rebut the presumption. If a client holds a competing claim, an easement, or a pending plat involving that corridor, this resolution — if passed — triggers the need to act before the filing establishes the record. Bottom Line: Pull the attached maintenance map before the April 15 vote and advise any client with a property interest along SW 58 Avenue whether to appear and object or preserve a challenge post-filing.

No dollar amounts or bid deadlines are attached to this item yet, but the legal groundwork being laid now typically precedes a CIP appropriation or RFP within 6–18 months. Bottom Line: Flag SW 58 Avenue as an emerging project corridor in Davie and monitor subsequent council agendas for design or construction RFPs on this right of way.
