Hello,

I would like to know if there are any special laws to buying and building on land in Texas. I am looking around Lubbock Texas and I have seen that some websites say that I need to obtain permission to build on land. If I buy 4 acres of land not located in a neighbourhood, does this still apply to me? If it does, who do I need to give the plans too? Thanks!

Check and see if the jurisdiction has a Zoning Bylaw . . . . then contact the Zoning Administrator to see what's involved for that Parcel to comply with the Bylaw for the Zone in which that it is located.

Do that checking BEFORE making the purchase decision . . . . as the results may alter your decision: how much you might pay to purchase, or whether it should even be bought at all.

First, Thank you for the quick response!

I looked into it and I found that there were too many zones to worry about it right now. I will have to find property and then look into the laws for that area.

I don't think too many pirates bought land in Texas.
