Hi BP,

Turns out I found a company willing to take down the trees (on my 7.3 ac. and neighbor's 12.4 ac.)  The problem is there's a  county law that requires erosion mitigation plans and provisions for "land-disturbing activity" before cutting trees on commercial (not on the 12.4 agricultural land surrounding it). This is so, even though no stumps will be dug up! The cost of all this is not feasible for the company that wants the trees. Has anyone else been confronted with this or a similar problem? If so, were you able to get a variance from the ordinance by the local Board? Thank you! 

Property has been for sale for a very long time, but no buyers.

Thank you all for your thoughtful answers! I really appreciate it!  

It's on commercial zoned land between 2 mobile home parks in Stafford Co. VA; not going to get arrested for it.

Oh gee, that's helpful...

Hello,

Does anyone have ideas about how to get my land (7 ac.) partially cleared of timber?  I've tried a few firewood deliverers.  Thanks!

Have 7 acres raw commercially zoned land in Stafford Co. VA - 45 miles south of DC. High taxes - Need money from land. Is gravel parking lot for Trucks viable? Thanks for your thoughts!

New to buying. What are your thoughts on REOs vs. Auctions?  Which one has better deals on SFHs generally?  Thank you!

Good idea!

I'm looking to renovate an old house on a piece of property I own in Stafford County, Virginia. 

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
