This is a law commonly broken in the part of El Paso county outside city limits. It looks like crap with old tires,washers ,dryers and pallets piled up where you can see them from the road. Those people think they can break all the laws and they give the city a bad name.
Grandma’s rocking chair if it is outside is MADE to be outside. Which means that it does not violate this law. Pretty obvious. It’s actually a great law
This is not a stupid law this is to minimize lawsuits in Boulder County. The CU – Boulder student’s have been known to set furniture on fire!
