Anyone know the costs to permit a tiny house construction? Wondering how much this adds up to in deschutes county and if one can go off-grid.

There are limits to RV use in R-1 and R-2 land but I cannot find limits on rural land, which is what I'd like to do.

There are a lot of off grid places up above the Prineville Reservoir, but that might be Crook County. 10-20 acre parcels are pretty cheap in that area, because there are no utilities of any kind available.

"Rural" land is going to have a zone, and Deschutes County zoning regulations are online, so pick out a parcel, find out what the zoning is, and look up what is allowed and what isn't. There are several zonings for "rural" land. MUA, RR (Rural residential), agricultural, forest, recreational....

Anything in Deschutes County will require septic permits and there are quite a few parcels where a septic has been denied. Those are sold as recreational lots and you can't live on them, only use them for camping in a self contained unit, or else have a cesspol that you have pumped out when it gets full.
