A simple building permit which costs $10.00 turns into government saying "oh no! Not for you!" Your going to pay $ 130.00.
They want to come on our property and insists it's necessary to approve the building permit, when it isn't. We know they want to trespass, spy on us, to find something wrong to charge us with a crime, in order to shut us down or make us move. In the end they want more money, Our little operation brings down property prices which means less revenue for the township. They can't tax as much with lower property values. They went to college to increase government revenue! Not protect the people or their Constitutional rights.
Yeap. Last year Clermont County came out with a list of things we should do. Ok, we planned on it anyway.
But we budget and don't do everything at one time so we don't have to take out a loan. When we have the money we'll do it. We told them we only had one problem: "We refuse to have anything to do with Miami Twp, in Milford, Mulberry Ohio ever again!" They are corrupt.

Here we are again. We decided to ask a friend who is a contractor draw up the plans for a deck on the back of the house. Because it will be attached to the house you need a building permit. We have a professionally drawn draft. Perfect!
But they know our names for anyone new to the situation. For a couple of years we've gone 50 rounds with the twp. over having farming rights, that over turn twp rights in Ohio. .
We can do things without twp approval, and they have harassed, charged us, spied on us almost to the point of exhaustion. Trying to shake us up, wear us down, and get us to give in...to willingly give up our rights. Ohio laws are very set in stone when it comes to farming. In Ohio if you have over 5 acres or are not in a platted subdivision and live in a township you are free to farm on your land!
The only way for them to get us to stop is for us to willingly give up. When that didn't work, our neighbors went to the county to get them to start charging us, disturbing our peace, violating our privacy, harassing us, etc.
