The Cache County Weed Department has legal jurisdiction over the control of noxious weeds only. The weed department may cite negligent landowners for their noxious weed problems if they fail to comply with the law.

Can I stop a neighbor from TRESPASSING on my property?

Gulf Coast Law
Certainly you can stop a person from entering onto your private property, in most circumstances. Before you decide to file a lawsuit, however, perhaps a letter from an attorney to the neighbor may be sufficient. Bankruptcy is used more and more frequently to "get a fresh-start". It is, however, a drastic step and should only be used as a last resort. Don't enter bankruptcy unless you have tried Consumer Credit Counseling and that route is not satisfactory.

Will a neighbor problem reduce the value of my property?

Barb Rock real estate
While it may not reduce the actual value, a cluttered landscape can detract from the positive aspects of your home. Review your local laws, which should be on file at the public library, county law library or City Hall. A typical "junk vehicle" ordinance, for example, requires any disabled car to either be enclosed or placed behind a fence. And most cities prohibit parking any vehicle on a city street too long. It also may be worthwhile to check into local zoning ordinances.
