Looking for some 'outside-the-box' ideas from you guys. Story: I was waiting until March to list a house for sale - a previous primary home, rural but really nice custom home, great neighborhood full of nice houses, incredible views, etc...

So a month ago, in moves a new neighbor, right across the street. And then in comes the junk....we're now at 20 cars, a bus, an RV or two, a tow truck, washers/dryers, and even an airplane fuselage...yes you read that right.

A bunch of us neighbors called the County of course and they sent out a Code Enforcement officer. The neighbor has 30 days to do something, and then another 30 days to do something else, and so on....eventually he will get $750 per day fines and a lien, but when? I'm considering seeing my County Supervisor, but will that just get in the way of the Code office?

I'm not even sure I should put the house on the market...a potential buyer will be turned off and either drive away or try to beat me down on price.....

Does anyone have any ideas I may not have thought of?

TIA
