Reply to comment by indyaj in Has anyone put a yurt on some land before? by stricly_business

True, but generally still a lot less restrictive than most towns that do have zoning.

It depends on where you are. There's definitely zoning though. Check out their site. They even have zoning maps. And then there are rules and regs for each of the zones. You know, just like a town.

My point is that you shouldn't tell someone that there are no laws when there are. You're gonna get them in trouble.

Pretty sure I didn't say it was lawless. It's just not Southern Maine. In my town I could put up a building such as a garage or shed and not ask any permissions. My point was that there is much of the state you can set your yurt and not ask permission. Of course waterfront and septic issues would apply.

I don't live in a town so I'm under lupc. There are trees I can't cut down and there is no way I could build a garage without a massive pile of red tape. I'm in western Maine.

Edit: you did imply there's no zoning.
