Land Use and Zoning

Elements of a Land Sale Contract
- A valid land sale contract must include:
- Clear description of the parties involved
- Purchase price and payment method
- Complete and accurate legal description of the property
- Signatures of all parties
Quitclaim Deed
- A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has in a property with no warranties, essentially "as is."
Legal Description Rules
- The rectangular coordinate system (RCS) employs baseline and principal meridian lines for legal descriptions:
- Parallel lines to the baseline create townships
- Parallel lines to the meridian create ranges
Legal Description Examples
- An appropriate legal description in Section 15, Township 3 North, Range 5 West, could be described as the south half of the southwest quarter and the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter.
- For a property delineated by diagonal lines of 3,733.524 feet within the same section and township, the direction involves multiple turns from the middle of the northern baseline.
Meridian Designation
- The suffix "C.M." in a legal description indicates the property is located in Oklahoma's panhandle, governed by the Cimarron Meridian.
Trespass Scenarios
- Phonopoly Telecom’s placement of a fiber optic cable beneath a property, without surface presence, constitutes trespass to chattel but shows no damage occurred.
