Can I build my home on 10 acres zoned agriculture in Cache County, Utah?
Typically, your local City/Village where the property sits can advise you on the necessary steps to take in order to receive the necessary “blessing” by the local municipalities to construct a home on the site. There are many preliminary infrastructure considerations to consider (i.e. electrical service, sewer lines, water, runoff, etc.) before the home can be built, all of which will require communication with the local municipality to determine IF a home can be built on that property, where on the property, etc. Local zoning ordinances may give some guideance as to whether the current zoning can be changed to another type of zoning for residential use. This action of requesting a “variance” may require much additional evidence (i.e. topographical surveys) as well as the permission of adjacent landowners and notice to the local townspeople, followed by a public hearing in order to be given a change in the zoning.
