buying a yurt in FL/the South

[groveladderfarm]

Hello! I am new to this forum and very excited that I found it! My husband and I would love to live in a yurt on our 11 acre property. We are almost afraid to call the county to discuss it because Im worried they will tell us a flat no (any pointers in that regard would be helpful!) The property is in the country and fairly secluded.

I was initially drawn to the Rainer Eagle because its so heavy duty (it seems that local gov would be more likely to okay it). Not to mention that Dana has been super helpful! However it will cost around $5000 to ship it. Is this plain foolish? I am less familiar with the companies in the South/East coast. Is it more intelligent to use a company down here, even if the yurt is less heavy duty than the Eagle. We have hurricanes here in South Florida...

ANY feedback would be helpful on this.Thank you!
