Yes he will likely not get any good sound advice. Yes there is no attorney to consult. But when you the one the city is gunning for it can be a great help just to vent and see that others care about your troubles.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I have to disagree, it's good info for me. As of right now my HQ is in the county, but the city keeps moving closer every year. The op had his trucks long before his property was rezoned. When, not if, this happens to me I'd like to have learned as much as possible about these issues so I can fight arbitrary rulings by a zoning board or city council.Not to burst anyone's bubble here - BUT - these types of threads are really obnoxious.
There is no one here that can help you locally.
There is not attorney here to help you for free to get you out of this situation.
Anyone one answering is not in your neighborhood putting up with the same ordeal.
These threads really wind up getting closed and locked up in the end anyhow.
Before we got ours - we knew and investigated besides what we are tolerating now with a TITLE ISSUE which is a whole nother thread - but we are responding to the threat of our hobby here in GA.
This appears a pure legal issue - between zoning and such. Is it time to end this thread and ones similar like it in the future.
Just my .02 cents worth
Yes, the reason I complied at first and let the non military stuff go was so I could stall for time and $$ to prepare the things that are the most defend-able.Sir,
Are your vehicles REGISTERED as TxFMV's?
Are they also registered IN YOUR NAME or is a business name on the Title/Registration?
Do you RESIDE on the property, and is it your HOMESTEAD under Texas Property Tax Code definitions?
How you answer these questions could be key to your defense.
(NOTE: I am not a lawyer. However, please be sure that your attorney has considered these FACTS.)
It does help to vent and organise my thoughts.Not to burst anyone's bubble here - BUT - these types of threads are really obnoxious.

Good luck & keep us posted.

I have never heard of them getting this out of control either.
Around 10 years ago they came out. The code enforcement officer was very nice and patient. He said he had several complaints. He told me what was out of compliance and then asked what I could do to help him out. He didn't make any demands and just wanted things moved around to make it look better. The code enforcement officers (3 of them) we have today are on some kind of crazy power trip. They were citing people for grass over 6". In the field across the street they were growing hay it was over 4'. Also in my area if you cut your grass lower than 6" in the summer after the rainy season it will dry out and die in the summer unless you water heavily every day.
Thanks for the offer. I am ok as far as funding goes for now. I will find out more in December as far as the cost and get a better idea if I have enough. If it looks like I will run short I will pm you then. I will keep everyone updated. For now I would just like to thank everyone for their support and comments.Nothing gets my goat more than a guy getting jacked around by people who think they know what he should have on his OWN property....especially after more than two decades?! Money where my mouth is. PM me your email address and I will paypal you $100.00 to defend yourself. I know it isn't much, but maybe some other folks will pitch in. Keep me informed please.

Yes we were just south of woodhall spar (only 4 miles) and I used to "tug" my "trains" to all the local shows around that region. Happy days...but we moved lck stock and barrel to a new location just outside London. (Well oustide!) in the sticks..no noise no fuss NO Neighbours (to complain) and go to shows "new" (to us) with freinds of many years. The War and Peace being the mane one and close enough to "ferry" all the collection for a decent display.I have an idea where your located - I have been into Woodall Spa - up to Louth and over to Skengness - if I recall your kind of in between all them places -
It is legal for me to keep antiques on my property now. I think they are up to something more sinister. They went ahead with a high speed rail project that was voted down. The tracks go down my street. I think they are up to something much more sinister...kc5mzd, I appreciate your taking the time to post. It is a reminder to me, and others that when moving, there is a LOT more than finding a house that the wife likes in a good neighborhood.
I don't know how it works in Texas, but here, if you got it before they change the rules of the game (ordinance), you are "grandfathered" and can keep it.
Reminds me of a joke; the punchline was:It's a big state. Don't lump all of it in with the Austin/SA mindset just yet.
