Texas land for builders

If you build homes or cabins in Texas, we sell lots and acreage that we buy directly from owners, and we list them on our marketplace with photos and the county. Before you buy any tract to build on, check four things: legal access, septic or sewer, the flood map and any deed restrictions. Tell us what you are looking for and we will let you know when land that fits comes up.

Who this is for

Builders who need a few lots at a time in a county they already work in.
Owner-builders looking for one homesite.
People who want acreage for a cabin, a barndominium or a small farm.

Four checks before you buy land to build on

1. Legal access. A lender and a future homeowner will want recorded access to a public road. A dirt track through a neighbor's gate is not the same thing. See how access easements work in Texas.

2. Septic or sewer. Many rural lots have no city sewer. In Texas, on-site sewage facilities such as septic systems are regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and many counties act as TCEQ's local authorized agent. Ask the agent for your county what it requires before you plan a house.

3. The flood map. Look the lot up on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. A homesite in a high-risk zone means flood insurance for a buyer with a federally backed loan, and floodplain rules for the build. Our guide on how to check if Texas land is in a flood zone walks through it.

4. Restrictions and easements. Deed restrictions, subdivision rules and recorded easements can limit what and where you build. They show up in the title commitment; see how to read a title commitment and drainage easements on Texas land.

Questions builders ask

Does Land Dreamz sell lots to builders?

Yes. We sell land we buy directly from owners, including lots and acreage, and list it on our marketplace. Tell us the county and lot size you need and we will let you know when land that fits comes up.

Do your lots have utilities?

It depends on the tract. Each listing says what we know about access, water, power and sewer. Ask before you buy, and check septic requirements with your county's TCEQ authorized agent.

Can I buy land from you with owner financing?

Some of our land is offered with owner financing. The terms for each tract are written down before you sign. See how owner-financed land works.

How do I check if a lot is in a flood zone?

Look it up on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center by address. Our guide on checking if Texas land is in a flood zone explains the zone letters.

Can you find land that is not listed yet?

We buy land from owners across Texas. Join the buyer list or use the form on this page to tell us what you need, and we will contact you when we have it.

General information, not legal advice. Check every tract with the county, a surveyor and a title company before you build.
