ah, the unintended consequences

find fault with the lack of personal responsibility shown by the last person to buy the property

This is why I suggest more mandatory real estate disclosure, up to and including buyer's signature acknowledging receipt and understanding of said disclosure.

Otherwise, it's back to "County requires permits and payment of taxes, therefore the land must be suitable for such use".

I would gladly waive County's liability if they also waived their requirements.
