Is there no way to build a house in rural areas without the signature of neighbors?

Building a house is one of the most important things in farmers' life. With a good life and money, most farmers want to renovate their old houses. In the past, it was very simple to build a house in rural areas, as long as there was a homestead. Now it is much stricter, not only to meet the requirements of "one household, one house", but also to obtain the approval of rural homestead and rural construction planning permit.

With these two certificates, it is generally not a big problem to build a house, but some places will stipulate that in addition to these two certificates, other things need to be prepared to build a house, such as a consent form signed by four neighbors. According to the relevant regulations of national homestead management, there is no mention of "four neighbors' signature", just some local regulations.

Why do farmers have to ask their neighbors for permission to build their own houses? This mainly takes into account the relevant provisions of property rights. Although farmers build houses on their own homestead, the rights and interests of neighbors such as lighting, ventilation, sunshine, water supply, drainage and gas pipelines will inevitably be affected after the houses are built.

For example, Article 89 of the Property Law clearly stipulates that the construction of buildings shall not violate the relevant national engineering construction standards, and shall not interfere with the ventilation, lighting and sunshine of adjacent buildings. If you build your own house and build it very high, it will block the sunshine and lighting of the neighbors behind you.

In order to avoid the conflicts and disputes in the neighborhood caused by building houses and affect the social stability in rural areas, it is stipulated that unless the homestead is far away from other villagers' houses, as long as there are neighbors, they must first obtain the consent of their neighbors when building houses, and obtain the paper certificates of their consent to build houses, so as to build houses smoothly.

Some people may say that neighborhood conflicts are very common in rural areas, and disputes often arise because of various problems, which leads to tension in neighborhood relations. In this case, it may be difficult to get a signature for building a house by yourself.

Some people are still jealous. When their neighbors have a good life and want to build a new house, especially in an old and shabby house, their neighbors want to build a new small building, so they deliberately find fault and hinder others from building a new house.

When building a house, neighbors often have disputes, such as dripping water, the position of the wall, the height of the new house and so on. These are easy to cause contradictions. In some places, there are also some proverbs, such as "the height of the East is not high, and the high pressure of the West has broken the waist", "The white tiger covers the dragon, and some people are poor for generations". These are also the reasons why neighbors have disputes over building houses.

How can you build a house if you build it yourself and your neighbors deliberately don't sign it? This kind of worry is not groundless, but real in reality. So, once you encounter such a problem, how to solve it?

There are not many solutions at present. At present, the only effective way is to find someone to mediate, and ask village cadres or respected people in the village to be intermediaries to mediate the contradictions between the two sides. The countryside is an individual society. Under normal circumstances, if you find someone to mediate, both sides will take a step back and most problems can be solved.

But if this method fails, I am afraid it will be difficult. If you can't get the signature all the time, you can't afford the formalities. We can only find ways to apply to the departments responsible for the management of homesteads and building houses in towns and villages, explain the situation and see if we can build houses.

Two years ago, such a tragedy happened. In a village in Putian, Fujian, some villagers were blocked by their neighbors because they were building a house, and they could not get their neighbors' signatures. After applying for a homestead for several years, it was still impossible to build a house, which eventually led to tragedy.

The original starting point of building a house is to reduce the contradictions and disputes between neighbors because of building a house, but in practice, some people maliciously use the rules and intensify the contradictions between neighbors.

Do you think it is reasonable to ask neighbors to agree to build a house? Can we reduce neighborhood conflicts? Please tell me your opinion.
