Backyard regulations?

Just for a little comic relief on this topic I'll turn it around 180 degrees for a moment .

I live in the suburbs and , of course , there's always ONE neighbour , right . This guy is the other way around ...never seen someone so anal . He keeps his place beautifully ....cuts the lawn every other day ( no kidding ) ....in fact has cut it twice this month already , once on Christmas Eve ........ takes him 20 minutes to power wash the mower after blowing the clippings off the lawn and down the street . There is a school bus pick up zone right beside his place at the street , so he will march out and tell the line of kids to NEVER step on his lawn . Since I'm retired , I sit in my garage with the door open and enjoy watching this ...better than reality TV . The guy is an EXPERT on everything ......you get the idea .

One night my other neighbour and I are sitting in my garage having a beer and we noticed that anal-guy intends to go fishing in the morning and has parked his truck and boat on the street about 3 feet wide of the curb , obstructing traffic a bit . Since he's always bitching about somebody else's parking we thought we would get him ...........got some chalk and drew some rather official looking arrows on the pavement around the truck and boat ....and waited . Sure enough , he comes out later to check his rig , spots the arrows ....and takes the bait . I guess he went back to the house and phoned the nearby OPP and anyone else he could think of about " why they would be wanting to tag his boat and trailer " .....Of course , nobody knew what the hell he was talking about which only made him angrier .

We thought we should wait until the next day to tell him .......guess he was up most of the night stewing . GOTCHA !!!

looks like one of the neighbours got tired of the sound of kids at play (LOL)



www.torontosun.com/2016/03/28/update-calgary-skate-ramp-listed-in-fake-kijiji-ad-found-and-slated-to-be-returned

in my experiance bylaw enforcement is only something to worry about if you're white

not being racist , just honest based on my own experiance

the neighbours got away with a yard full of crap which the filled and raised until they flooded us and the people on the other side - bylaw does nothing but tell me to clean up my own little temporary pile beside the garage

20 years later the neighbours place is still a trash dump

Yeh your being racist. Your issue isn't because you white but because you and your neighbor are putting up with this nonsense instead of demanding your rights. Lodge a complaint first regarding the mess and if that doesn't work challenge the bi law officer as to why the law is not being inforced. Then your alderman and if need be a lawyer. Take notes as to who you talked to and when. Too many of us complain but don't take action . I'm guilty of it myself on some issues.

yeah , no I'm not

believe me 26 years of continued complaint to the property standards office

... and nothing ever got done - I even have the pics of the mess to back up the complaint .. but nothin

 

pointing out the reverse racism of bylaw enforcement dosen't make me a rasist

 

lol , AND , A - holes are not and have never been reconized as a race unto themselves so I definately am not a racist

 

edit , I may well however be a crappy speller

Yes they can pass a municipal bylaw regulating what you can or can not have in your own yards.

Enforcement - they take you to court if necessary, should you choose not to co-operate in cleaning up your yard should they decide it needs cleaned up.

What can you do about it - NOTHING

The courts tend not to understand the need to have old cars or projects or anythng else for that matter, in your yard.

Most Yard or Property Standards bylaws are universal, and read to the effect you may not have more than 4 or 5 "vehicles" in your yard(s). This is calculated as boats, trailers, quads snowmobiles cars, trucks or any combination thereof etc etc. Some allow only what will fit in your immediate driveway. Some only allow one vehicle in your driveway, with everything else required to be inside something

Best way to go under the radar is to have your cars/trucks each with a car cover or never in a state that would not allow it to be started in leass than 48 hours. Either that or have it indoors in a storage building.

Having said all of that - most BYlaw Enforcement is dont only on a complaint basis, except in larger cities. So get on very good terms with your neighbours, and keep it tidy .

No complaint no worries.

Fighting the charter on a regulatory law is at best a crap shoot. In short you would have to prove the bylaw was discriminating against you and had little or no affect on the people surrounding you. if it was as simple as that the web would be full of case studies or judgement summaries that I cannot seem to locate . If you have proof please post it up it would be an interesting read. I put away the notion a long time ago that the legal system in this country is ether fair , just or reasonable and if you are not part of the pigs at the trough its an uphill battle. " rights and freedoms are not absolute in Canadian law, as section 1 of the Charter allows governments to place reasonable limits on rights and freedoms that are demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society"

 hey slim ...the court case went on three an half an we won hands down no cuffs...so read as u will dont matter to me...[Yes we have transcripts]

If ya all want to go on about life with someone else at the wheel have at errrrrrr !

Please as you read this post keep the word Defact-o in mind

Â

A society is not A" justified in a free and democratic society"If such does meet the meaning of...
SOCIETY. A society is a number of persons united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some common purpose.
    2. Societies are either incorporated and known to the law, or unincorporated, of which the law does not generally take notice

Â

A" justified in a free and democratic society" Does not meet the definition of a society...if it's not!

Â

Oh i'm not part of [T]heir society chose to leave such society through an / in court an it was recognized by the court.Its not free an just ...there fore its not a society as per the info above...



Now ask if if you cant are you free?

Â

Â

Â

So thank you slim...

Â

Â
Section 15 - Equality Rights

Â

Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Â

This section of the Charter makes it clear that every individual in Canada – regardless of race, religion, national or ethnic origin, colour, sex, age or physical or mental disability – is to be considered equal. This means that governments must not discriminate on any of these grounds in its laws or programs.

Â

The courts have held that section 15 also protects equality on the basis of other characteristics that are not specifically set out in it. For example, this section has been held to prohibit discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.

Â

The Supreme Court of Canada has stated that the purpose of section 15 is to protect those groups who suffer social, political and legal disadvantage in society. Discrimination occurs where, for example, a person, because of a personal characteristic, suffers disadvantages or is denied opportunities available to other members of society.

Â

At the same time as it protects equality, the Charter also allows for certain laws or programs that favour disadvantaged individuals or groups. For example, programs aimed at improving employment opportunities for women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities, or those with mental or physical disabilities are allowed under section 15(2) .

Â
OBEDIENCE TO DE FACTO LAW.

15. No person shall be convicted of an offence in respect of an act or omission in obedience to the laws for the time being made and enforced by persons in de facto possession of the sovereign power in and over the place where the act or omission occurs. [R.S., c.C-34, s.15.]

Â

oh an yeah Something defacto can not own or be in possession of anything sovergeign therefore they have no power...=its oxy moron...

Â

Oh an yeah...
Section 7

Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

Sections 7 to 14 set out rights that protect us in our dealings with the justice system. They ensure that individuals who are involved in legal proceedings are treated fairly, especially those charged with a criminal offence.

Section 7 guarantees the life, liberty and personal security of all Canadians. It also demands that governments respect the basic principles of justice whenever it intrudes on those rights. Section 7 often comes into play in criminal matters because an accused person clearly faces the risk that, if convicted, his or her liberty will be lost.

As an example of the effect of Section 7, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that individuals may not be sent to prison unless there is some proof that they did something wrong. To imprison a person who has acted reasonably would offend the principles of fundamental justice.

interesting topic. as for the city folk, humph! if your neighbour hood is an area of tidy properties and someone moves into the area and starts collecting and storing stuff out front and generally in a mess, then yes you probably have a b!tch and you probably should, maybe. he knew the kind of area he was moving into and made a bad decision thinking there woudn't be no fall out. that goes both ways if your the one who is moving in. most cities or towns have certain areas or neighbour hoods where everything blends in and you will find a stark contrast in appearances. same city/town with the same bylaw's just different neighbour hoods. as for the country folk it is pretty much the same logic.
-
a lot of places wouldn't look as bad if they were just tidied up. peterborough is in the middle of redoing their bylaw's right now over parking cars out front of your house.

In Kanata some time ago a housing development was build around an operating farm and some of the new to the "country life" wanted the city to force the farmer to start farming later in the mornings and then had the balls to try and get the city to have him tear down his barns as they were afraid they might catch fire. The farm is still there and operating.

Up here in Sudbury your only allowed to store items in the backyard, and believe that any vehicles that don't have a current plate you can be told to remove them. But all this is subject to someone first making a complaint to the bylaw officer. Even the fabrine vehicle shelters are subject to being told to remove.

It's all "good stuff' & worth a fortune the Mayor told me when he came here after trying to talk to him!!!  How much is a pile of "broken window & doors , & a Clapped out 80's chevy P/up with no engine etc. worth????


The Mayor of your town went to his house? Really? I would have told the Mayor to GTFO my property...A Mayor has NO business doing those kinds of visits...

I would love to be your neighbor dualquad...I would have fun with you...You're to easy to get going.

Yep .... Ballantrae Ontario. New houses built near a farm (approx 20 years ago). Occupants of the farm (renters) moved horses into the existing barn and stalls. Owners of the new homes started a "houses not horses" campaign (complaining about the smell).

That farm no longer exists although I'd be willing to bet the owner of the farm was just sitting on the land (speculating), waiting for the day they could sell to a developer, and were simply renting it out until that day arrived.

Bottom line though, these new home owners bought very close to a farm, then decided they didn't like a farm that close to their homes .... unreal hmmnoconfuse

Stated i would not post on this thread anymore in an earlier post ,However there is just too much info to be shared ..Even if ya just read the content of these posts many will learn alot an besides they are great reads wither or not one acts on what they read is choice brought forward to the table for consideration.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aHD44CHidQ

 

With Crown Land Grant in hand, tell all Government Officals/Lawyers/Police, this is the basis for my "Claim of Right" in relation to property rights. The Criminal Code is clear.
Hand them the Grant.
Watch their reaction.
:shock:
Oh yeah, then remind them how it says that thing about hemp



The Criminal Code of Canada states:

Defence of Property

Defence of personal property

38. (1) Every one who is in peaceable possession of personal property, and every one lawfully assisting him, is justified

(a) in preventing a trespasser from taking it, or

(b) in taking it from a trespasser who has taken it,

if he does not strike or cause bodily harm to the trespasser.

Assault by trespasser

(2) Where a person who is in peaceable possession of personal property lays hands on it, a trespasser who persists in attempting to keep it or take it from him or from any one lawfully assisting him shall be deemed to commit an assault without justification or provocation.
R.S., c. C-34, s. 38.

Defence with claim of right

39. (1) Every one who is in peaceable possession of personal property under a claim of right, and every one acting under his authority, is protected from criminal responsibility for defending that possession, even against a person entitled by law to possession of it, if he uses no more force than is necessary.

See how the Crown exercises its rights and powers because of the Crown Land Grants...
As a "title" holder, with a deed, section 39. (1) doesn't count.
You fall into:

Defence without claim of right

(2) Every one who is in peaceable possession of personal property, but does not claim it as of right or does not act under the authority of a person who claims it as of right, is not justified or protected from criminal responsibility for defending his possession against a person who is entitled by law to possession of it.
R.S., c. C-34, s. 39.

laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts ... .html#h-10

One must use their Crown Land Grant, as the Crown does now, and as our fore fathers did to protect them from over reaching governments.
The Crown Land Grants create a solid foundation for a "Claim of Right" defence.


answer:1. "together with all woods, underwoods, timber and timber trees, lakes, ponds, fisheries, water and water courses, profits, commodities, appurtenances and hereditaments, whatsoever, therunto belonging, or in any wise appertaining ; together with the privilege of hunting, hawking and fowling, in and upon the same.."

and,

2."to HAVE AND TO HOLD the said parcel or tract of (number) Acres of Land, and all and singular other the Premises hereby granted unto the said (Name of individual), heirs or assigns, for ever, in free and common soccage."

All of above-mentioned rights and privalages tranferred to the heirs or assigns.
All land granted is held in "free and common soccage" and not "fee simple".

The Land Grant is like a Standing Order from the King/Queen.
The RCMP should not have a problem recognising it, even though lawyers, county or municiple employees or provincial agents may not.
After all, it bears the royal seal.

This proves the "fee (estate) simple" system is nothing more then rent leases.
A game, invented by lawyers, for lawyers.




James MacLaren used to own this land we are on through a grant


Landowners group puts municipalities on notice

By Paul Jankowski, Sun Times, Owen Sound

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 8:00:00 EDT AM

Report an error

The Ontario Landowners Association has sent letters to every mayor in Ontario warning them against sending municipal representatives or staff onto private property.

The letter says that under the Crown Land Patent Grant -- something OLA president Jack MacLaren calls "the highest law of the land in Canada when it comes to property rights" -- all Canadian citizens who own land are "protected from any interruption, legislation or regulation, be it municipal, provincial or federal, from all associated actions as to entry or surveillance (by any means) of/onto private land of/or into private property."

Any infringement of those rights by a government representative or of any agency supported by the public purse "will be met with as much force as necessary," the letter says.

"The letter was written with some pretty strong legalese-type language," MacLaren said in a recent interview. "Really what we're saying is it's private property . . . and nobody has the right to come onto your property without permission."

South Bruce Peninsula councillors this week voted to recommend a copy of the letter sent to Mayor Gwen Gilbert be passed on to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the town's solicitor.

The OLA has about 10,000 members, said MacLaren, a farmer from Woodlawn, Ont., northwest of Ottawa. The group's website says its mandate includes aiding landowners "whose rights to own use, manage, enjoy or benefit from have been or will be affected or harmed through Government actions" and to "educate the public that the greatest threat to Ontario is excessive legislation and over regulation and that the inclusion of Property Rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is necessary to reverse this trend."

Considering all the legislation and regulations in Ontario that impact on property rights -- MacLaren lists The Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Conservation Authorities Act, the Green Belt Act and the Planning Act as examples -- "what we're talking about here is a pretty significant change," he said. If courts recognize Crown Land Patent Grants as "the ultimate authority on property rights, which it is . . . that means there's going to be quite a few legislations that are illegal legislations."

The OLA does have a test case -- a Beamsville-area man who was fined by a Justice of the Peace for failing to comply with an order from the Niagara Escarpment Commission. He will appeal that decision based on his property rights under the Crown Land Patent Grant and "we're going to be backing Bob 100% and doing everything we can for him financially and doing some significant fundraising to pay for the legal services he's going to require and we want to take this to as a high a level as we can afford," MacLaren said.

Governments, MacLaren says, should pay property owners for any restrictions they impose on their use of their property. "If it's in the interest of the public to save a feature, then the public should pay . . . if there's a limited amount of money . . . they'd have to pick out the wetlands they want the most, what endangered species are the most important, et cetera, et cetera. The government would have to set priorities and have a shopping list."

With the Crown Land Patent campaign "we don't mean to say at the Landowner's Association we have discovered the Holy Grail of property rights and we're going to use it like a big stick and go around and bang all governments on the head and say how bad you are and we win . . . What we're trying to do right now and part of what that letter was intended to do was to inform and educate municipal governments that Crown Land Patents are documents that exist, that it's the highest law of the land," MacLaren said.

I don't think everyone complains about neighbours getting too close.

There was a farm right in Markham Ontario (no livestock that I remember seeing though) that ended up completely surrounded by new (and quite expensive) homes. It was on the north side of 16th ave, somewhere between Kennedy rd and Markham rd. It sold approx roughly 5 years ago for a rumoured NINETY NINE MILLION DOLLARS.

Now THAT is one healthy nest egg for that farmer.

Along those same lines, for years homeowners have been complaining about the noise from the airplanes that were constantly coming and going from Buttonville airport (in Markham, just north of Toronto, beside the 404 highway). These idiots bought their homes NEAR AN AIRPORT then complained about the noise from airplanes. Once again .... unreal no.  The airport is still in operation today but it will be closed in the near future as it is slated to be developed.

 Correct an Green bank or the purposed Pickering airport will take its place.

Green bank is getting so huge that a commercial airliner could be landed!

 i had some buddies years ago who lived somewhere in that neighborhood in a big old farm house they rented close to where they built the new fair grounds at the time. they were there for a long time paying rent to someone who owned 2 or 3 other farms around them also. it was cheap rent with 4 of them living there at about 300.00 a month each all in. next time i'm up to the big smoke i should take a drive over that way to have a look. it has to be 30yrs ago now. we had had some memorable parties there in the middle of nowhere at the time. lol

 the zoning will change and the tax takes a big leap. also when the province went with the m.p.a.c. assessment system many old folks could no longer afford to pay the sometimes massive increases. quite a number of people were forced to sell their lakefront homes around here.

man o man - i can not beleive the miss-information out there

zoning does not change your taxes unless you go from being residential to commercial - and no one does that unless they need to
Zoning changes by reason of municipal wide updates have to be circulated, and have public meetings and one can most certainly contest - and win - any such notable change to thier property

MPAC isnt a system - its a regulation - and due to the market sale valuation system - all tax increases are done once every four years and are phased in over a four year period so it is NOT as hard on your wallet

as to lakefront properties - they are generally undervalued by about 40% in the MPAC evaluations so just imagine what the taxes would be if one were paying on the actual value - if you are being taxed out of your ability to pay - then you were either getting away with paying too little or you were/are living beyond your means

LAST but not least - the municipality does not tax anyone - nor do they set the amount of taxes - they just collect the taxes on behalf of the province - so lay that one where it belongs - at the provinces feet - they are the ones setting the property values that the  tax rates are based on. Municipalities - do set their own mill rate that calculates the taxes in your municipality  - and that mill rate is based on the services you recieve ie plowing, garbage, libraries, maintenance etc etc etc

 

I have yet to see a municipality set a mill rate high enough to be able to bank money - matter of fact most municipalities run in the red precisely because they try not to have your taxes any higher than necessary

Also, if you are rural and have been farming, you are taxed at a much lower mill rate. If you stop farming, then your property is reassessed at residential rate. If you want to maintain that farm rate, lease your fields out to a active farmer. That's how most do it down here. Your property must generate $7000 a year in farm income to maintain farm rate. Our property is water front which generally demands more money in today's market thereby having a higher assessed rate and thus more taxes.

Also, I worked f**kin hard all my life so one day I could retire. When I did, I moved from the city to a nice rural property. The money I invested in the property is part of my retirement fund and I expect it to keep it's value so when I am forced into long term care, the money will be there. I do not want some a**h*le having his own personal junk pile accumulating next to me. We already have one 'hoarder' who is declared mentally ill not allowing the municipality to have him clean up. His cars sit there leaking oil into the groundwater, my well water and polluting our lake. I have 6 vehicles on my property, they are all licenced and kept garaged. I respect my neighbours rights. I know lots of car guys in the same boat who have built garages where they work and to store their stuff. I am on the municipality standards committee and in a society where it is pretty well impossible to build anywhere and not see a neighbour, standards are enforced for the overall good of the community. The only one allowed to break that rule is Kathleen Wynne.

By the way, our little community has a pretty high mill rate and still cannot properly maintain services, just a matter of scale.

My rant, I have always believed you pay your way and respect others.

Sorry for changing the topic here. You say that your rural property is your way for future funds. I am assuming you have acrerige but did you know you will be paying Capital Gains tax on your rural property that you LIVE on.

Speaking of MPAC .... I watched as a young girl, assessing the neighbourhood for improvements for MPAC (she was measuring decks, sheds, porches and asking about finished basements) knocked on the door of a house on my street, when no one answered, she went up the side of the house, unlatched the gate and walked right into this persons backyard with NO PERMISSION from the homeowner. Can you imagine what might have happened if the owner was in the shower and this young MPAC idiot let herself into a backyard inhabited by angry Dobermans intent on defending their property from this intruder? (I called MPAC and complained about it .... doubt it did any good though). From what I was told, they measure decks in backyards and peer in basement windows in hopes of determining if the basement has been finished. Ain't that swell.

The point being this .... if a person does have an un-plated car or two in their backyard, completely hidden from view, that may not be enough if the inspector (or young girl hired to do their dirty work) just enters your property and snoops around/trespasses.

This isn't an "I heard from someone that this happened" story ... I'm the one who saw it.

You are right about her trespassing, but once they have informed you of their presence, they are allowed to do it all to properly assess your property. If you have improvements to your property that affect it's value like a finished basement or deck etc, then that will be taken into account.

Speaking of capital gains, I pay my taxes where I can't avoid them but I would rather pay taxes on something that has risen in value then have an adjacent property or wind turbine that devalues my holdings.

When I spoke to MPAC on the phone, I asked if I was required to let them inspect my property and they answered "no, you are NOT required to, but it's in your best interest to let them". 

What the hell does that mean???

 

I don't let any uninvited people into my house without a search warrant and my fully fenced backyard does not appear to have a gate allowing access from the front yard.  My "hidden gate that appears to be just a continuation of my fence" is precisely why MPAC wasn't able to access my backyard that day.

 

"Peering in windows in hopes of spotting an unreported, finished basement" ..... sheesh no

How many of you's here have DONE a claim of RIGHT ??

Tort law

Trespass to land is one of the oldest torts known in law. Historically, it has been held to occur whenever there has been an unauthorized physical intrusion onto the private property of another. Trespass also occurs when a person remains on an individual's land after permission has been withdrawn.

Trespass to land is actionable "per se". That means that someone can be sued and found liable for trespassing even if there is no proof of damage. In a trespass case, if the incident was for particularly malicious purposes, such as to intimidate the land owner, even punitive damages may apply.

That said, however, any person can go onto the private property of another during daylight hours if permission to do so is implied. For example, if there is a path up to the front door of a residence and there are no signs warning people to stay off the land, there is implied permission for people to enter, such as a letter carrier. This implied permission can, of course, be revoked instantly by the person in charge of the property. If you are told to leave, you must leave or you could be sued for trespass.

 

 

Section 39,1 of the criminal code says:
Defence with claim of right

39. (1) Every one who is in peaceable possession of personal property under a claim of right, and every one acting under his authority, is protected from criminal responsibility for defending that possession, even against a person entitled by law to possession of it, if he uses no more force than is necessary.

 warren, yes your farm land is taxed much lower if it is being used as such by either you or another registered farmer but the house on the farm and 1 acre are taxed at the going mill rate for rural residential property in your township. the 7000.00 number is correct but you have to be registered with the o.f.a.. there was another one also when they implemented, {forced} you into it at about 100.00 yrly at the time.

 this year there is a farmer going to use some of my land for farm use, crops. it use to be a 75% rebate on the tax for the vacant land the farmer or yourself uses for farming purposes after submitting a form with your farm registration number or the farmer that uses it and i am thinking it is the same today on the %.. for a round number i pay approx 5000.00 a year now in tax. next year after submitting the form i am willing to wager that the tax bill will be still over 4000.00 after getting a 75% rebate on the farm land. don't get me wrong i will take the savings and i should of done it some years ago but i didn't. the 75% number is misleading as a lot of people move onto one of these places and figure they get it on the total, they don't.

 i can't remember the process after you quit farming because i forget what all the process was when i quit 20 yrs ago. today if you sell your farm operation whatever number you or your accountant settle on with the c.r.a. is considered profit and is taxable unless the money is reinvested into agriculture again. i know if you are claiming farm status, registered and the 7000.00 number is met on your paper work. but if they audit and the numbers aren't there you are in for big $$ paying the back taxes on the land and the tax claims you made as a farmer, fuel-insurance-equipment, etc. plus a fine.
