The county now uses a remote piloted aircraft to take pictures once every few years for property tax assessment but according to the county charter they are restricted to use flying over county or state property only and are permitted to fly over larger ranch properties only with prior written and signed permissions from the land owners. the city dwelling hunters who bring their drones must get permission from the land owners before flying them otherwise the County sheriff has stated they might be shot out of the sky and there is nothing he could or would do anything about this happening. It is his understanding that the FAA has minimum standards for low altitude flight and anything below that height is sovereign to the land owners
