I am in VA and not sure how it works elsewhere.  Typically, when you
buy a new home, the sale rep shows you a map layout of a subdivision
with lots and their sizes.  You would pick one and go from there.  The
map I got only shows the lot # and its size.  There is no indication of
easement around the house.

I would never think that it would deviate that much from the
subdivision's map

Thanks
