They were granted legal right to enter and search your property even if they can't see animals from the road.
Granted by who? County commissioners? That's a joke. The dog catcher here found out different and he had a badge,deputized I assume. I told the little dork who was taking a dog census to hit the road and I ended up getting a ticket in the mail. I took it to the animal control building,threw it on the dog catchers desk and told him the next time he wanted to know what I had on private property he'd better send a uniformed officer with a search warrant. He followed me home and started acting tough. He showed me some papers that showed what power he had,including entering private property without notice or a warrant. I contacted the State Attorney General's office and they said "You can be cited for having an unlicensed dog if the dog is visible from the road or the driveway.".
He went up the road to where a guy had ordered the census taker to the road too,acting tough again saying he was taking the dog. The land owner ordered him to the road. He didn't leave,but he called the Sheriff's office from right there. They told him to wait in the road. Tom told him again to get in the road. He wouldn't go. Tom went and got the backhoe and told him it was his last chance. He still wouldn't leave,so Tom picked up the back of his pickup and pushed it to the road. Of course the place was swarming with cops within minutes.
The county prosecutor called both of them in to his office. Tom had broken a tail light when he pushed the truck and had offered to pay for it. The prosecutor asked what happened. Then when he'd heard both stories he asked the dog catcher why he didn't wait in the road? He said "the land owner told you to wait in the road,the Sheriff told you to wait in the road and you wouldn't do it?". He said "I don't have to,I've got a badge". The prosecutor told them to get out of his office. Tom didn't even have to pay for the tail light.
The county commissioners can write up whatever rules they want to write up for somebody,but just like every other government agency,that darned pesky Constitution gets in the way.
