At our new home, we are on 5.5 acres out in the county. We have no HOA or board but there is a document regarding the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions. In these restrictions it says 'the discharge of firearms is expressly prohibited'.
A few days ago, a Sheriff drove by and I asked him if I could discharge on my property. He said as long as there's no HOA we were fine since the county has no restrictions on it.
So if I fired at a rattlesnake, what could the repercussions be?
Here's the exact text:
Section 3 .06. Prohibition of Offensive Actiyities. No activity, whether for profit or not, shall
be conducted on any Tract which is not related to single family residential purposes, unless said
activity meets the following criteria: (a) no additional exterior sign of activity is present, (b) it is the
type of action that usually happens in a home, (c) no additional traffic, that would not be there
normally, is created, (d) the entity or activity maintains an office or place of business elsewhere, and
(e) nothing dangerous is present that shouldn't be there. This restriction is waived in regard to the
customary sales activities required to sell homes in the Subdivision. The discharge or use of firearms
is expressly prohibited.
