The city recently passed an ordinance saying you have to buy a yearly license/permit to raise animals (chickens, ducks...) in city limits. AND prohibits raising certain animals - male chickens, for example. And if you get caught, they fine you for being no complacent!
There is nothing in Idaho Code 22-4504 which would prevent a city from enacting an ordinance requiring the owner of a farm to obtain a permit to raise certain animals, such as chickens, ducks within city limits. It says simply that Idaho prefers farming operations, period. The distinction this... Read more »

In Utah, if you own property, you have a right to control who enters that property. Without an invitation, you are trespassing. If someone sues you for trespassing, they normally need to show what damage you did on their property to win money. In unique cases, someone may win more money than normal... Read more »

Am I wrong in believing that right of ways need to be kept clear of anything preventing its use .. trees etc
This is a question of how long the trees have been there. Are they newly planted or have they been there for under 20 years? If so, then sounds like a trespass matter.
The property wasnt left to one person so there is no clear way to use the property. I have been the onlyh person to pay taxes on this property for 15 years and i would like to put it in my name so i can live on it. What do i do?
Cannot understand your facts stated. But hire a competent attorney to draft an Affidavit of Heirship, which will record a source of title. Then you need a Quit Claim Deed from the other heirs over to you. If they will not convey, you may have to file a Partition Suit.
The tree is now 60-70 ft. tall. We know they should not be planted in this residential area and we had one uproot on our property. No help from local zoning or tree commission who know our neighbor. We can be killed if it falls or uproots onto our property. I have contacted approximately 19... Read more »

I moved my family into a new house in Quincy, Michigan. A day after moving in, our water stops working. It turns out the well is dry, and the whole area is just bad for water. We spoke with multiple well contractors and learned that we can install a good well about 100 yards from the house at the... Read more »
Without seeing the closing paperwork and disclosures it is hard to say for sure. You need to have a local attorney look at the paperwork (did you use an attorney to review the closing? You SHOULD have!) to determine if anything like this can survive the closing.
Did you do inspections?... Read more »
Wanted to build a home and I just wanted to know what all that means R30 zoning
Since you are writing from Fla., it is unlikely that a NC attorney will see your post, but even if an NC attorney would see it, he/she would be unlikely to know, off the top of his/her head, what that zoning category means because such zoning code numbers are unique to each local jurisdiction. You... Read more »
I purchased with a joint down payment land in TN (50/50 payment) however the joint owner is not making his payment of the mortgage. What legal recourse do I have to demand payment or file something to withdraw him from the deed?
You will probably need to file an Action For Partition. Hopefully you all have some equity in the property, or it may not be ordered sold. Hire a competent Tennessee attorney. You could also make a small offer to buy him out and get a Quit Claim Deed back.
How is that legally done? Does it have to be recorded on the deeds?

You need to hire an architect familiar with conversions, residential construction, and the local building and zoning code to assess what you plan to do, what you must do to comply, or if any variances will be needed. The architect should have good rapport with the folks at building and zoning.
We are buying a property, and the owner had a verbal agreement to share the well and septic that are on the neighbors property. She has no problem sharing, but we are concerned what would happen if she sold her property.
You don't say whether or not you've signed a contract to buy the property. If you have you may have a big problem.
Make sure that obtaining a written agreement is part of the contract - that is the most important part of your transaction.
And you need a lawyer. NOT a... Read more »
they are saying they will come and take my trump sign in my front yard
I expect that the lease provides the landlord with the authority to maintain the property. If the lease does not permit you to post a sign on the property, I expect that the lease would permit the landlord to enforce the lease by removing a sign. Without reviewing the lease, I cannot determine... Read more »
Legal documents. We’ve been called recently by family members in PR but they don’t give exact info. How can I find out who the executor is and how much land and where it’s located.
This has nothing to do with Land Use & Zoning, or with Florida law either, for that matter. You should ask your question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Puerto Rico.
