Re: Who owns this road?
If you purchased a title policy when you purchased the property, the title company may pay those back taxes. To specifically answer your question, I would need to do a title search on the properties involved and examine the documents. There are several things that could have happened and without looking at the exact scenario, there is no way for anyone to determine the road's status.
