This lot is zoned for residential use. Single-family and manufactured homes are permitted. Prior to obtaining a building permit, the county requires that a source of potable water be established, which would mean a well. A septic system is also required prior to building.

Not ready to build? That’s OK! The land may also be used recreationally. The county allows for camping and RV use for up to 30 days a time, and up to 90 days a year. County zoning does not allow for residing on the land full-time in an RV or tiny home unless you have a building permit.
