A few years ago we had a Squatter move onto an abandoned lake lot that boarder our farm. No water, sewer or electricity. They were throwing their trash over the fence onto our place .
The taxes were 8 years behind but the county didn’t want the place.
I didn’t want to have to pay the taxes on the place but I ended up having to buy it so I could put them off and clean up their mess.

It maybe very hard to get the person off of the land. I know of multiple pieces of property where squatters have set up camp. Not sure the reasoning, but I have been told the land owners have tried for years to get the squatters off of their land, for some reason, the law won't remove them. I don't know if it's a case of they can't catch them or won't for some legal reason. That one piece of property, I have heard about the problems they have had for years. Then I noticed another piece of property, that someone has built a shelter on, mostly hidden by trees, but visible if you know where to look, it's in the same area as the other one. Then there is another piece of property in the area, where some more squatters have a camp set up, it's along a creek, we found that camp while kayaking.

Off topic a landlord I lived near in East texas got home on a Saturday with 2 doors in his truck. A few days later the doors had disappeared, my neighbor told me when a renter wouldn't leave he would tell them he was going to refinish the doors. After a day or 2 they usually left and he would change the locks and replace the doors.

It’s also effective to get the OP what he wants.
I never said it was right. IMO the right thing to do is inform the landowner. After that all you can do is mind your own business.
