Frequently Asked Questions

In most areas, the minimum size is 1/8 acre (50x100 feet), though some newer developments may allow slightly smaller plots.

We provide detailed information about utility availability for each specific plot, including connection costs and ongoing development plans for infrastructure improvements in the area.
