Just cause you own the land doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You asked for opinions. You didn't state if you had more work down the road or anything along those lines. Several people were suggesting you check with the county to get approval for what you are intending. They weren't doing this to slight you. They were trying to help you avoid severe penalties and/or having to undo all the work you've done because they've seen it happen. The gov't. always wants a piece of anything that anybody does. That's why most people hate gov't but sometimes the gov't has good reasons for it's rules.
You might think it's a minor little job you're doing but if you don't get a permit and approval to do it, you could get yourself in a lot of hot water. Say you built a brick fence all around your property without getting a permit and a survey of property lines. You have a neighbor that claims 100' of the fence is 5' on his property and the county agree's with him. The county could make you take the entire fence down and/or fine you. If you did any damage to the neighbors property, you'd have to pay for that too. If you didn't take the fence down by a certain time, the county could take it down and send you the bill! I did some landscaping for a lady that took her neighbor to task for this very same example. He was a brick layer and moved the fence over because he built his garage to close to the property line and this was his attempt to cover up his mistake. In the end the neighbor lady agreed to give him an easement for the garage (she didn't have to and he would have had to move it or tear it down) but he had to take down the fence and pay her for the tree's he took out to put the fence in. These were tree's she had planted and he ended up having to pay about $20,000 to replace the tree's and sod that was torn up and also penalties for building without the proper permits! Doing ANYTHING with a natural water way, you better have your ducks in a row. If you don't want to listen, don't shoot the messenger.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
