So the moral of the story is the town can screw up and there is zero culpability. If you screw up you're not only held responsible but if there is money involved pay up sometimes with interest.

I love how the town has zero culpability here... and as a side note it should be noted that the tax map boundaries are not considered accurate for the purposes of doing any kind of building, well or septic site location, yet they are for the purposes of taxation?

In the case of the aforementioned (improvements of any kind) an accurate survey by a licensed individual of your lot is required based on the language in the deed. This infers that the tax maps are inaccurate and derived from what?
