California. Sierra Nevada mountains in the middle of nowhere. She contacted the county to let them know she was building some small structures and they said she had to pay of bunch of fees for Ricky tacky bullshit that probably didn’t apply to her. Later she learned that everyone that lives out there just does whatever they want and they never notify the county prior. The entire region operates under the whole “better to ask forgiveness than permission” motto.
Since she called the county had us harassed by inspectors and police for months growing up. Even got one of our neighbors fined for an illegal structure on his property since they spotted it while driving down the road to our place.
This was years ago now, but it still really pissed me off.
See that’s the problem though. They claimed it was a hazard to have a tool shed next to our garden when it absolutely was not. If the regulations can be abused by greedy or evil people then they are shitty regulations.
They knew she didn’t have the money for a lawyer to fight them on the bullshit application of their regulations. Single mom with two boys on a teacher’s salary and she didn’t have the time or money to argue with them.
The property had several old sheds scattered around when we moved there but we tore them down as they were all rotted and falling apart.
