I live in the country and most neighbors are relatives, but the property to the east of me was bought by a lady from Florida. She's called the law on me for sighting in my rifle, for my beagles running rabbits near the property line and numerous other things. Unfortunately for her she decided to put her house only 50 ft from the property line so I decided it would be a good place for a hog lot. Most days the wind blows from my place to her's. LoL. Don't see her out on the porch much anymore. I have 30 acres and never shoot close to her place but she just wants to cause problems so I gave her one that she has no solution for

Would you be fine if they burned railroad ties 24/7?
Or had loud gospel music playing 24/7?
Or had a bunch of barking mutts 24/7?
Bottom line, keep your yard clean.

None of my business.
Would join in on the all day sing and dinner on the grounds.
My mutts would drown them out.
My yard is clean, just not perfectly manicured.

Do I tell farms and properties I trap on how to manage? Nope.
Do the lawn mower police tell me how to roll? Heck no.
Two did try. I told them to pound salt and named them Gov and Mayor of our road.
When other neighbors found out they howled.

That said, there are rules in some places.

Seven pages of lawn police, wow.

Pictures or you are the problem

I've lived this long without their help so they can go.........

Lets see the junk in your yard,,I might want to buy some of it.

I don't think most are judging but rather recommending to act normal. Normal may be keeping your yard mowed and decluttered or it may mean waiting for the fall to bale hay with it. What do the rest of the neighbors do and what does the law say?

Being normal doesn't make you a sheep. Being a non-conformist will usually make you out to be an A-hole.

ol'dad

Get your own copy of the code book and take everything right up against the limit as close as you can.

If you're too ashamed of the looks of your property to post a picture for a bunch of trappers, it's no wonder the guy who lives next door wants something done about it.

ANTIFA and BLM like destroyed neighborhoods and run down ghettos. Pelosi wants people to live in them. Unkept yards are something they would likely support too because conservatives like to protect property values.

Post the pic!

Why should anybody have to post a pic of their yard for judgement? Missing the point I think. I think the point is what to do about busybodies who have nothing better to do with their spare time (which they seem to have in abundance) looking high and low to see what rules might have been broken.

We all know people like that. I'm glad I don't live in any jurisdiction like that.

We want pictures of your yard too now !

Because Warrior is whining on the internet looking for support. That plan appears to have back fired.

Maybe he could swing support back his way with a pic of a reasonably kept property.

If you truly believe you are in the right and don't have to abide by any codes, rules or laws other than your own, then don't mow your property or comply with any direction given by the city, town or code enforcement officer. See what happens then. When and if you do go to court over the matter, tell the judge what "your" rights and see what happens.

If its too much trouble to post the photos, I understand. I just thought it might help to explain your position a little better. Thanks!

So you are looking for sympathy from fellow trappers because you want to live like a slob. Put yourself in his shoes. He maybe has lived there many years as you indicated and each year improved his house and his lot. Then some slob moves in next door never mows his grass, starts a junk yard with old cars and boats, lets his house go into disrepair. Are you getting the picture yet. Your rights to do as you want don’t override your neighbors right to have his property values diminish. My advise, buckle up and clean up your place. Be proud of your home. Take this from someone who has been improving his acreage every year since 1976.

Was just thinking how as a nation we tout individuals rights to kill babies but pass laws about how tall someone else's grass is on their private property..... think we turned the wrong way as a nation somewhere..alot of people are more worried about grass than innocent lives....

You are from Georgia so now I can see the clear picture (actually vid clip) of you with at least half of your teeth still in place and not even removing the cigarette from the corner of your mouth saying "Yall just got added to the long list of people who can kiss my [butt]"

Since when do we have the right to make others do something?
