[TowerTalk] CC & Rs...How to REALLY know

[Avila, Edward]

Alsopb, CC&R's are not county laws, their private contracts between people.
I would suggest putting your anger you have with the County government where
it belongs, fighting restrictive civil contracts that serve to keep those
"eye sore" towers and antennas from going up in selected neighborhoods!

Good luck....73 /k6sdw

Ed,

I think the orginal question is how do you know there are not deed
restrictions.  It is like trying to prove a negative. You can never do
it with absolute certainty.

As you are probably aware, being "rural" is no guarantee of no
restrictions. You have to go through the same thorough search process
somebody in a more developed place does.   

While looking for this QTH in NC, we found plenty of rural property
which did indeed have restrictions-- INCLUDING some farms.   It seems
that county levels of government are scared as hell to not have
control over other people's lives and institute all kinds of god-awful
restrictions.
