A complaint against a farm operation is at least an aggravation to the operator. Complaints to local authorities may raise questions about the proper response, and when not to respond at all. This short paper addresses the basics of each in the context of neighbor complaints and threats of action, with a focus on when a farmer can expect inquiry from local government authority (e.g. animal control, sheriff, zoning). Hopefully this paper can also further educate public officials on whether to respond to such complaints.
The right to farm statute continues to focus on three barring principles: 1) the freedom of the farm to make changes to its operation; 2) a limitation on the time to bring a lawsuit; 3) a limitation on how nearby a complaining landowner must be to the source of the offending activity; and 4) a limitation on extent and type of damages a successful plaintiff may claim.
To date, no court has issued an opinion to illustrate which facts are barred by these phrases, and what evidence might get a court to push beyond these limitations to allow a jury to consider a fundamental change as a nuisance.
Bona Fide Farm zoning exemption may only exist in the county, outside of the municipal boundary. This applies even within a municipalities ETJ as noted above. The ETJ is a sort of geographic buffer surrounding the boundary of a town or city; its depth depends on the population size of the municipality: towns of less than 10,000 population may enforce their municipal zoning ordinance within a 1 mile ETJ; municipalities from 10,000 to 25,000, 2 miles; and over 25,000, 3 miles. By statute, no municipality may extend their ETJ beyond 1 mile without approval by the county.
Municipal zoning codes are generally unfavorable to production agriculture, with bans of commercial raising of livestock and limitations on residential accessory structures such as sheds and greenhouses. However, any bona fide farm outside of the town or city geographic limit, although within the ETJ, may operate free of the municipal zoning restrictions. Additionally, the bona fide farm statute specifically empowers municipalities to apply bona fide farm zoning principles in their jurisdiction to allow accessory building and fencing limitation exemptions on a parcel in town limits.
Finally, a change in the Farm Act of 2020 exempts on- or off-farm catering services provided from a bona fide farm from any county (or municipal) requirement that the catering service apply for and receive a permit. However, though free of a permit requirement, all state and local health code regulations continue to apply.
Violations of deed restrictions and subdivision covenants are a private matter between the person with standing to enforce the restriction (normally the owners of other properties subject to the restrictions, or a homeowners association). Violations of deed restrictions and covenants are not a matter for local government intervention.
Agricultural and Natural Resource Law is a catch-all term for all manner of legal issues concerning the resources supporting the business of farming and land ownership, management and development of its natural resource potential.
This portal also addresses legal issues concerning Estate Planning and Farm Transfer, land acquisition, and the list goes on. This portal will synthesize these various areas as they relate to the ownership, management, transfer, and operation of businesses upon and interests in rural lands.
Relevant laws include state and federal laws related to production and marketing of farm products, laws concerning liability, laws related to land title and land use, environmental laws, food laws, labor laws, inheritance laws. This portal will keep you updated on developments in the law, fact sheets on various legal matters and programs, as well as decision-support resources on addressing effective legal risk management.

From the Oregon State University's extension service, you are listening to In the Woods with the forestry and natural resources program. This podcast aims to show the voices of researchers, land managers, and members of the public interested in telling the story of how Woodlands provide more than just trees. They provides interconnectedness that is essential to your daily life. Stick around to discover a new topic related to forests on each episode.
Welcome back to another episode of In the Woods. I'm your host Lauren Grand, assistant professor of practice and extension agent in Oregon State University's college of forestry. May is wildfire awareness month.
And if you haven't noticed we're all about Firetalk on the podcast this month. If you missed our last episode, we met OSU extension forestry's fire team. I learned all about the great projects they're working on around the state, like prescribed fire trainings, youth programs, and collaboration between agencies to make sure all Oregonians are fire prepared
Today, EJ and Carrie are back on the podcast to help me learn more about fire adapted communities. Welcome back ladies. I'm so glad you can both join me on the podcast today. We have a great conversation planned. EJ is going to be helping us understand what fire adapted communities are and what land owners need to know to get started.
Carrie is going to share her experience with leading her community to become a fire adapted community and what they do to stay prepared. EJ, before we dive in, do you want to tell us a little bit more about yourself again? Sure Lauren! Um, yeah, it didn't come to this work from the fire world. I grew up in rural New Hampshire where I guess we did have a lot of trees, but not so many fires.
Uh, I somehow got interested in fire after moving out west for school and then really interested in it after moving to Oregon. And, uh, now I'm a social scientist who studies collaboration and partnerships, how we can work together and reduce fire risk and apply that work through my work with the fire program. Well, it sounds like you're perfect for this role of fire adapted communities and how people can work together, uh, to learn more about fire and be prepared.
Carrie, Carrie, welcome back. Tell us about how you're doing and where you're from and about yourself. Yeah. Hey Lauren. Good to be back. Um, so I mean, I'm sure your listeners, uh, from listening to the last podcast know that I'm the fire program manager. And I worked closely with EJ on, you know, the programs, uh, strategic goals and initiatives, but like EJ, um, well I come from the Midwest and I, I didn't have a lot of wildfire in my, uh, experiences back there. And so coming to the west is just been really eyeopening. And, um, it's been about 15 years now that I've, that I've been living in Oregon. And because we're talking about fire adapted communities, I'll say that I've been living in my skyline west neighborhood for about eight of those years.
Great. And I'm so it was so fun to hear that as you learned and worked with fire more, that you totally adapted it to your own life and space, and I'm so excited for you to help you share your story. It's a good one. Well, thank you for giving me the platform to, to share my story. I'm I'm quite excited. Uh, our group has worked really hard, and that's what it's about, right? Adapted. We adapted to what fits our neighborhood and our lifestyle. So, thanks for having me on.
So, it begins from the concept that like right fire doesn't know any boundaries. So, that means we're all facing, we're all facing fire risk. Like you, your neighbors, your community, everyone in that larger landscape around your community. You all can contribute to the risk of fires and you can also take actions that might reduce that risk, not just for yourself, but for everyone.
Right? So for example, my neighbor, might've gone ahead and send some vegetation on their place to reduce fuels, but I, if I haven't, I'm increasing the risk for everyone around me. Um, so with that background, I would say that being a fire adapted community is about being aware of those risks of fire that your community faces.
And then being prepared to address them. But the most important ingredient is it's not just about individuals being prepared. It's about everyone being prepared to work together, to take action as individuals and as a community. And that's across all phases of fire. So, before a fire happens, during a fire, and after it, and then that means that there are a lot of different pieces involved.
