Important Property Information

Buildability: The county planner has confirmed that building is permitted on this parcel provided setbacks are met. Standard A-1 setbacks apply: Front — 50 ft / Sides — 20 ft / Rear — 35 ft. Given the substandard lot size of 0.11 acres, buyers are strongly encouraged to verify whether reduced variance setbacks can be obtained through the county planner before purchasing. Contact Harris County Community Development at (706) 628-4700 or the direct zoning line at (706) 628-4761.

Utilities — Critical Note: This lot has NO existing water or sewer. A private well must be drilled and a septic system must be installed at the buyer's expense. Due to the extremely small lot size (0.11 acres) and the parcel's proximity to water, fitting both a private well and a septic field on this lot is identified as highly difficult. Environmental Health must verify nearby neighbor well locations before a septic permit can be issued. Buyers must contact Harris County Environmental Health at (706) 628-5375 to confirm whether this parcel can legally pass a soil percolation test and support a septic system prior to committing to purchase.

Allowed Uses: Homes (site-built), Mobile Homes, and Manufactured/Modular Homes are permitted under A-1 zoning, subject to county setback and permit requirements.

Mobile Homes: Yes — mobile homes and manufactured homes are allowed.

RV / Temporary Living: Permanent residency in an RV is prohibited by county code. Recreational camping is permitted for a maximum of 30 consecutive days. If actively building under a valid county construction permit, a temporary occupancy permit may allow RV use for up to 180 days (renewable) during the active construction period.

Farm Animals: Farm animals are permitted but are strictly regulated by Harris County animal-to-acreage density ratios. Given the substandard lot size, buyers should verify allowable animal types and quantities with the county before planning any agricultural use.

Impact Fees: No impact fees for the land itself. Standard residential building permit fees apply at the time of construction.
