Squatting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see squat.
The Chien Rouge in Lausanne, a squat held in the old hospital.Squatting is the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use. Squatting is significantly more common in urban areas than rural areas, especially when urban decay occurs. According to author Robert Neuwirth, there may be as many as one billion squatters globally, or about one of every seven people.[1]
There's a whole big article on it....

Which States Have Squatters Rights

Most states have squatters rights. Basically squatters rights means if someone has lived on a piece of land for a length of time, usually 10 years, and has developed that piece of land by building or otherwise improving it then the original owner has no right to move them from that land any longer. That doesn't apply to renters or other forms of living on property with any form of legal agreement. I would check the Bureau of Land Management for your state to find out more information.

I think you will find that squatters' rights is a term applied to uninhabited or abandoned property. Such is not the case in the US today. You might consider purchasing property that is auctioned for back taxes. These sales are often held on the county courthouse steps. You must have the funds for purchase immediately available. Here is a link below that has the homestead statues of many states.

The Homestead Act of 1862 was ended in 1976 (The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976). At that time, the government took control of all public (non-claimed) land, with the exception of Alaska. In 1986, Alaska became part of the act as well, and all public land was taken by the government.
No more squatting!
