HyNoon Report post Posted March 15 1 hour ago, Bucks N Bulls said: We have 5 acres and no animals. We have chickens here at the house. And were getting things set up to get permits to live in 5th wheel while we build. Ok, I went thru this on my property. Check and see if you can get the land zoned as agricultural. I did this but you have to check the animal requirements. I'm in maricopa county , you have to have at least 5 acres and then a certain number of animals. 1 cow/bull over 6 months or 1 horse or 5 goats/ sheep or a cow / calf pair if under 6 months counts as one animal unit. Or equivalent. You may have to call and ask how many chickens will make up that number or what they deem as equivalent. And after I submitted for that paper I didn't have to move my trailer, two conex boxes or my animals off "MY PROPERTY " THAT I OWN OUT RIGHT, NO LIEN. But as stated you never really own anything the government can seize thru fines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyNoon Report post Posted March 15 If you are able to get it re zoned to one of the agricultural land uses. You can do that until you are issued your permits to build. Which they probably won't issue you anything until you fix want they tell you to fix unless you use this type of zoning temporarily. Also do you know if you can have a 40 ft conex once you have a permitted residential structure on it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably too late for this but it wouldn't hurt to befriend her for down the road if you are going to keep the property? We actually inyroduced ourselves to her when we first got the proprty and she definately was the type who disn't want to talk. All of the other property owners are very friendly and offerd help and anything if we needed it. We found out she has turned in other neighbors for various things as well. When we talked to the county they absoloutely know her by name. The property is now ready to build. We did power,well,and septic and at this point we are thinking of selling. If we don't sell i will make her regret that we will be neighbors. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boarman03 Report post Posted March 15 If you get the agriculture zoning or need an animal to get it, I have a 3 year old brangus limousine cross steer that I will sell you for the 6 month period and then I'll buy him back if you keep him healthy. I also have sheep I could do the same thing with. Just let me know. Make sure their pens are as close to your neighbor as possible so she enjoys the fragrance 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct ... that's why they want to tax you differently because vacant land is a low property tax. But a property with a structure is way more. They just want their money. Don't get me started in why I should have to pay taxes on a property that I already own free and clear.... such bs Also, if you have already started your permits, it might be easier to sell it and get another one after your build is completed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
