Re: Privite Property Owners Rigts
Probably you have a cause of action for trrespass and conversion (which is the taking of your property, for example, trees cleared from your lot) against the town manager,and the contractor. First, ask what are your damages? For example, possibly an arborist could place a value on any trees removed. Then, you would make a demand in writing upon the town and the contractor, and sue if they did not respond. You will need to decide whether the damages justifies the cost of litigation.
