Grammy2joo, thank you! Yes, in fact, I just heard from Custer County today and was told just that about the building codes, which is wonderful news, since that is the county, where we really want to be and where we started our search.
We are going down to look at some land-working with a realtor-this coming weekend. Been working out all the details of water use, looking at 35+ acres or properties of lesser amounts with water augmentation. The county seems pretty lax, other than the requirement that every structure must have a flush toilet, I was told. I asked the county if a modern outhouse with a flush toilet would suffice, and was asked to contact the state water guy in the area for verification on that one.
The big problem really seems to be that so much of the land is in an HOA with covenants. I found it amazing that in such a rural area, much of the land is subdivided like that. It's truly been a trick to find parcels meeting all the requirements for water and covenants.
Are you planning to put a yurt on your acre?
