I always thought that inheriting land was be a good thing…but apparently, that’s not always the case.

A TikTokker named Julie posted a video and explained to people how she ended up with more land than she bargained for.

Julie said, “Do not purchase a piece of property until you go to the property that county is in and talk to them. Never do that! Never!”

She told viewers that certain counties can tell landowners that they’re not allowed to build a house or divide up the property they own.

Julie said she planned on getting one acre of land from her father, but the county told her they don’t let people divide land that way.

Because of this rule, Julie ended up getting all 10 acres of land from her father.

She said, “You never know what your county is going to let you do and not let you do with your property.”

This is what folks had to say on TikTok.

One individual didn’t hold back.

This sounds like a HUGE headache.

And pretty complicated, tbh.
