Shelli asked:


I am moving to the Chicagoland area in a few years and want to be able to buy property in a area that will allow me to have a horse. In Alaska, you can ride your horse on the street in some areas and wanted to know if there are such towns in Illinois like that. I want to be ni more than an hour from Chicago city limits… Can someone throw some names of counties or towns I might try starting my home search on?

We are purchasing a property where the appraiser has valued the privacy fence as if it is basic horse fencing, which I feel there is a clear difference in those types of fencing. We have been told that it does not matter what type of fencing it is and there is nothing we can do to change the value of the fence. I’m just confused because I feel that brand new privacy fencing would be worth more than a basic horse fence. It requires much more wood product and the cost of instalation for a privacy fence is much more. If anyone has any information regarding appraisal guidelines in South Carolina regarding fencing, please contact me. I just don’t want to get screwed.

I would also like to know what it would cost to add utilities to property. And also what the average cost of horse property is with utilities. One more thing…. Does it matter how many dogs you have on the property being that it isn’t residential?

We might run an ad in a specialty magazine featuring our horse property. We have an agent, but they are not running an ad in that magazine. If we get a buyer from the ad (we paid for), should we be able to deduct a finders fee? If I remember correctly, a finders fee is 10% of a 3% commission, right?

I think you have to have at least 1 acre of land to keep a horse housed but it may be more or less. I need the real answer as according to the Code of the law ..no guesses please! I have already got that covered!
Thanks

Hi. I’m real estate agent listing a property in AZ that is designated as a Horse Property. (Also R-8) My client is concerned for me that the designation may change as it is recorded? (She’s an agent in Colorado)… and that I may be sued if I don’t declare this. I’m not sure there’s anything to declare. It’s only .33 acre, but that wasn’t a problem when she purchased it. What are the requirements to designate it as horse property and what factors could change this??
I can’t find any info locally or on government sites. Info from other states would be helpful too. Thanks so much!
It has trail access to a 7 mile long equestrian area. The entrance is about 200 meters down the street.
Elsa D. Thank you, Will do tomorrow!
