What does A5 zoning mean?

All of our 5+ acre properties are in A5 zoning (Agricultural, 5-acre minimum lot size), which allows for a variety of uses, including:

  • Farming and livestock – You can raise animals, grow crops, and use the land for agricultural purposes.

  • Building a home or cabin – Residential construction is permitted as long as county water and septic requirements are met.

  • Recreational use – Camping, RVing, and off-grid living are allowed, but full-time RV living requires additional permits.

Can I build a home or cabin on my land?

Yes! Most of our properties allow you to build a single-family home, cabin, or agricultural structure. Before building, you’ll need:

  • An approved water source (either a well or access to public water).

  • A septic system permit for wastewater disposal.

  • A building permit from Duchesne County.

Are there any restrictions on what I can do with my land?

Properties are pretty flexible, but key restrictions include:

  • No full-time RV living unless you have a building permit.

  • No subdivision of lots under 5 acres.

  • All residential builds must meet water and septic requirements.

  • Any commercial business or campground development requires county approval.

  • Any property under 1 acre is strictly for recreational use only.

  • Do your due diligence and check with county as restrictions are subject to change.

Important: Zoning laws and county regulations can change over time. We strongly recommend that buyers do their own due diligence by checking with Duchesne County Planning & Zoning to confirm any specific restrictions or future updates before purchasing.
