livestock

What is the name of your state? TN
I am trying to find the answer to a simple problem. Our property has a few restrictions. One states that we cannot have "commercial livestock feeding lot of any type". Does this mean I can or can't put my (one) horse on my property? The court house refused to give an answer. Two of my closest neighbors have horses and assorted other animals, but state that I can't. What do you think?

Having a horse is not by any stretch of the imagination a "feed lot."

Buildings don't talk real well; you need to speak to a human being.

Do their deeds have restrictions on them?


What do you think?

If you have stated the restriction EXACTLY as it is on your deed, then I would like to know where your neighbors or anyone else complaining about this gets his interpretation. Are you in compliance with zoning (if you had a horse)?

My horse sense tells me to tell you to read the word "commercial".
