Section 8.4. Abandonment of Land Dedicated for Public Use

A. Land dedicated to the County for public use. When a record plat contains land dedicated to the County for public use, the dedication must be in perpetuity and must not be altered or taken for private use. However, the person who originally filed the plat, any successor in interest, or the County may petition to abandon any land dedicated under this Section. Abandonment of all or part of the dedicated land may be authorized by:

1. the Council under Section 49-63, if the land has been in public use; or

2. the Board under Section 49-68, if the land has not been in public use.

B. Land dedicated to other public entity. Land dedicated to a public entity other than the County, including the Commission, may be abandoned according to procedures adopted by or applicable to that public entity.
