Living in an RV in Peach County: A Violation of County Ordinance?
PEACH COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — George McCullum, 66, has been living off of Irby Road in Peach County. His friend owns the rural property. With his permission, McCollum has enjoyed living in his own RV camper. He has water and electricity. He helps his friend maintain the property.
“I want people to leave me alone,” said McCullum. “I want to enjoy the rest of the few years I’ve got.”
He said an argumentative neighbor complained to County Marshal Jimmy Russel. He said Russel came to his homestead and told him he had to move for being in violation of county ordinance.
“Commercial vehicles, trailers, can’t be parked in a residential area,” said McCullum. “But I was kinda confused where it said that because this is agricultural land.”
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- Goal 15: Life on Land
WGXA’s Gloria Ruth Finney stopped by the Peach County Commissioner’s Office. Finney was told to contact Chairman Martin Moseley. He said he would not be making any statements on McCullum’s situation just yet. The marshal said he wasn’t allowed to give a statement.
“I have been singled out,” said McCullum. “I’m not the only one living in a camper.”
Sure enough, right up the road, the camper McCullum said was also being used as a residence was visible from the road. However, McCullum’s RV is far from visible.
“In the county, a lot of folks live in an RV until they got their house built,” he said.
McCullum wants to know why can’t he live in peace in his.
Request for Permission
- McCullum and the property owner formally asked for permission to live in the RV.
- The request stated that McCullum helps around the property and takes care of the owner’s animals.
- No response has been received so far.
