§ 17126 Shasta County Grazing Exclusion

This law says a certain piece of land in Shasta County is officially declared not to be used mainly for grazing.

Key Takeaways

  • •The law defines the exact borders of the land using landmarks and survey lines.
  • •That land is officially marked as not primarily for grazing animals.
  • •Anyone planning to use the land for grazing must check this rule first.

Example

A rancher wants to turn the described area into a big cattle pasture, but the law says that land can't be used chiefly for grazing.

Because the statute lists the exact borders of the area and says it is not for grazing, the rancher would have to find another use or get a special permit.
