Hoisting License

[PaulChristenson]

Paul, Paul, Paul,

But in the "Peoples Rebublic of Vermont" you have about every other rule law and tax that Massachussets has....

Over here I say live free AND die. I have buillt a few things that supposedly required permits, but the permits only serve to notify the tax man and you can do that at the end of the year property report.

At no point has anyone ever showed up, which actually kinda pisses me off. What did I pay the $ for on the permit then? Well it was only $25 for a 24x30 barn and get this, $10 for a 24x50 house so I guess "You get what you pay for" holds true here also.

Actually we are closer to a Live Free or Die than NH is...
We are a concealed carry state without a license...tell me how many so-called Red states have that state law...

Construction on Vermont farms appear to be exempt from anything...

The only rule that they seem to enforce is the Manure Spreading Ban from 15 DEC to 15APR, but for the rest of the year all bets are off...

You are just reading about what happens in Burlington...

I somehow had your place pictured in my mind north of Willis. Not too much farther up I45 to get to Walker.

We're zoned agricultural. When we bought the place I filed a farm use plan with the County. When we build the barn no construction permits were needed. I had to file a copy of the farm use plan along with a site plan showing the structure location was within the ag zoning setbacks (100' from the neighbors house). I did have to have a permit from the health department. They wanted to make sure I wasn't building it on top of the septic system.

Nope. 2 miles East of Willis. About 8 miles to the Walker County line and 12 miles to the San Jacinto county line.
Gotta be careful with Ag. exemptions in Texas. If you have you land ag exempt and leave it to your heirs and they do not do Ag., then the state hits your heirs for taxes for all the years it was exempt.
