Boundary disputes

In reality, if it is his, it is his to do what he wants with it. I have had some major problems the last couple of years with neighbors. Ended up building a barn to block them out of view. (Yes, that is a pile of straight trash. Fuck these people)

Is buying his 8 acres an option?
Just think what the inside looks like

Trust fund baby out of Cleveland. Paid cash for the place and royally destroyed the place. One family already moved because of them and he doesn't care. World spins around him. He actually just moved to Colorado last week and moved in his girlfriends sister and boyfriend. Both have the face scabs and are in and out all night and day. No muffler and we share a driveway. In a week's time I've pulled them out of the driveway twice and refused the 3rd time. These fucks got pissed at me when I said no. Time to finish my barn, refinance and just buy the shithole.

That's effectively impossible. In order to properly locate a single boundary, multiple lines will need to be surveyed as well. Surveying is trigonometry, so you need more than one line/angle to accurately locate a single line. The only way a surveyor can locate a single boundary is if the corners are known (and presumed accurate), then they can mark that line. But in the case like this, they'll need to survey multiple lines to accurately locate the one in question.

And sadly, the burden of proof is on you as the landowner to have an accurate survey if you wish to contest in a court of law.

What I was meaning is they could just mark that particular line. I was assuming the points were already known. Perhaps I should have worded it differently. I reread and now see where it was stated there isn't an accurate survey already in place, so I stand corrected.

I‘ve been on my township‘s Zoning commission for over 20 years. In my township if he was building a non ag related building he would have to apply for a building permit, meet set backs from property lines (25’ in high density residential, 50’ in low density residential) and to size limits based on what zoning district he was in (We allow bigger buildings in low density areas)

He wants to build a stage....I'm guessing something like 6x12...similar to a deck. I'm positive there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. I just want to be 100% that it's not on my property.

I didn't say rural townships/counties were absent zoning, just that most zoning regulation/enforcement happens within municipalities, especially the enforcement component. I'm pretty familiar with where he's at and again, "zoning" as most people would recognize it, doesn't exist in this parts.
Yep the adjoining township voted their zoning out - county kill n us with new septic system laws - its crazy - no shit

The septic laws are actually statewide now, not county-by-county. But your particular county is by far one of the worst in the entire state when it comes to knowledge and enforcement of those laws. It’s one of the few counties I absolutely refuse to do work in. The amount of bureaucratic bullshit and lack of common sense in Portage County is mind boggling to say the least. I can’t believe anyone chooses to live there to be honest.

I would not suggest this route. Something like that could really put yourself in a pinch.
It’s a hunting property that’s going to have a concert stage on top of it, I’ll take my chances as long as he’s not burning shingles, dumping motor oil or have a refrigerator graveyard lol

That bird will end up with more rights than you on your own property. Either way, I wouldn't want someone telling me what I can and can't do on my piece of dirt. This road of respect needs to go both ways to have any chance at having a future.

This is only temporary, unless he is trying to make a business.
