Sorry — I initially put this comment in the wrong thread.

Ok, this is not my area of law and don’t take this as legal advice, but I think you need o start with the metes and bounds in your deed. What does the deed say and how wide is your property under the deed? Is it 20′ or 19’3″?
Next, go back and look at the survey. What does it say? Go over it with the surveyor, if you have to. Are there any discrepancies with the metes and bounds? reports of any encroachments?
Now turn to your own measurements. Where is it out of whack with the survey? One side or both?
Before you start raising complex property and taxation issues based on just you and a tape measure, get on solid factual footing. Maybe pay the surveyor to come out and walk through with you your measurements and theirs. Worst case, pay for another survey by a different company. No one is going to trust your own measurements, and I would not act on them without backup that the RE world would consider reliable.

Going back to the measurement, what is the inside dimension? From the face of one party wall to the other.
