I live in Wisconsin, though I know of a couple of other states that have a law that if your barn is damaged by forces of nature, old age, or by anything else, you cannot tear down nor rebuild it. If you want or need the use of a barn, that one has to stay and you have to build somewhere else.
I want to know why this law is there and how it became a law. You would think that the county/state would want the eyesores to be gone, right?

Some laws are so old that some lawmakers don't even know about them. I would call the city hall in your town and ask the clerk about it. You might need to have a special permit to tear it down and build a new one.

Here in Nova Scotia...you can tear down or rebuild your barn whenever and however you choose. And you should be able to..we all pay land taxes for our little peice of Paradise.

Some barns are landmarks or have landmark status; just a guess.

I never heard of that. I agree, as bad as it sounds, just burn it.
