OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — An Osceola County woman is working to fix her address, which currently doesn’t match her property’s physical location.

Tracey Bordas said the county switched her address on Sharpy Road to Aleksey View Drive. However, when you drive on Aleksey View Drive, it dead ends before Bordas’ property begins. 

What You Need To Know

  • Tracey Bordas says Osceola County switched her property’s address to Aleksey View Drive

  • Bordas says she can’t access her home from Aleksey View Drive

  • Instead Bordas uses Cadence Sound Lane (previously known as Sharp Road) to get to her home

  • Osceola County has been looking into the issue but hasn’t provided a solution yet

“I can’t get Amazon. I can’t get eBay. Even the post office has to put my mail aside,” Bordas said.

Bordas has to use the north side of the property, off of Sharp Road, to get home, where people have been accessing it for more than six decades.

“This is the dirt road that had the address for 64 years, until they changed it in 2023,” said Bordas.

The problem, according to an Osceola County spokesperson, that dirt road is private property, and Bordas doesn’t have legal access via the road.

The issue was only corrected after a builder started to develop the area with new homes.

Sharp Road was renamed to Cadence Sound Lane, and Bordas’ address switched to Aleksey View Drive.

“It’s ridiculous,” said Bordas.

Richmond American Homes, the developers of the neighborhood, have told Bordas she can have the private property to allow her legal access on the dirt road.

“This is the perfect option,” she said.

But Raymond Stangle, with Osceola County’s community development department, says zoning requirements prevent that option right now.

“County staff is discussing internally to determine if Richmond American Homes can amend the zoning to allow the access,” said Stangle.

The other option the county says they’re looking at is extending Aleksey View Drive and creating a driveway to her home, where the road currently dead ends.

Bordas was promised something would be done when she purchased the home back in April of this year.

“How relieved would I be? Well, it wouldn’t me being relieved, it would be the county being relieved because they’d get me off their back because I’m not stopping. It’s not right what they’re doing,” said Bordas.

It’s still up in the air as Osceola County hasn’t figured out a solution.
