I want to purchase a horse and have 2 acres of property. The township I live in is not restrictive as to pets/livestock; however, the individual I purchased my property from (on which I had a house built) for some reason added a covenant restricting the keeping or breeding of livestock. Is there a way around this? There are others on my street who maintain horses. Are horses considered livestock or pets? I will not be breeding the horse - it will be kept solely as a pet for pleasure riding.

In this day in age.........horses are being placed in the "companion animal" category. This may be enough for you to ask for a variance to your deed. Check with your township if you can resend the covenant restriction. Check out the Internet and do some research regarding companion animals and also how to change a deed....specifically restrictions/covenants. Also you could consult a real estate lawyer....but do some research first so that you have an idea of what you want to ask the attorney. Most lawyers have a free consultation visit/phone call.

Many factors could apply. For example, you stated that your deed has this covenant in it. If so, are you should the one who sold it to you placed it in there, or could it have been someone prior to that individual. Usually such restrictions have time frames during which they are enforceable and then they are meaningless.
Begin with the county court house and ask them about it. It is a real possibility that you will have to hire an attorney to get what you want.

You would need to check with the city or a lawyer. It is binding (you signed it, knowing it said that, so you agreed), though most people will never look at your deed to know it says that. This has been a problem in the past with owners putting in their deed that it could not be sold to an African American (for example).

If you purchased the house on a mortgage no one can tell you what you can and can not have on your property as long as it is not an eye sore or against the law. If you purchased it on a land contract you should go speak to an attorney to find out if he can legally do that.

If the previous owner set it up, you should be able to eliminate it. Talk with your county land supervisor and your local township reperesentative about how to do this. Don't surprised if you need to get a lawyer to accomplish this.

Your deed?
If its your deed, you are the boss of that.
If the Board of Health allows it and/ or gives to a permit you can do what you want.
