Yes, you can buy Texas land to park an RV or put a tiny home on, but whether a given tract allows it depends on its deed restrictions and the county's rules, not just on the price. Check restrictions, septic, utilities and access before you buy. We list the land we have for sale with what we know about each tract, and we will tell you what we do not know.
1. Deed restrictions. Recorded restrictions in a subdivision can set a minimum house size, ban living in an RV or limit mobile and manufactured homes. Read them before anything else. They show up in the title commitment; see how to read a title commitment.
2. County rules. Outside city limits, Texas counties have limited land-use powers. Dallas County, for example, says it does not have authority to enact zoning, but it does regulate development in the floodplain, subdivisions and septic tank installation in its unincorporated area. Rules differ by county, so call the county where the land is before you buy.
3. Septic and water. An RV or tiny home that people live in needs a way to handle wastewater. In Texas, septic systems are regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and many counties act as its local authorized agent. Ask the agent what it requires, and ask how the land gets water: a well, a water supply company or hauling.
4. Access and flood map. You need recorded access to bring in an RV or a tiny home on a trailer, and the FEMA flood map tells you where not to park. See access easements and how to check the flood map.

Most do not have general zoning outside city limits. Dallas County, for example, says it does not have authority to enact zoning but does regulate floodplain development, subdivisions and septic installation. Rules differ by county.
A way to handle wastewater, usually a permitted septic system, and a water source such as a well or a water supply company. Septic systems are regulated by TCEQ, often through the county as its authorized agent.
