Can I Really Live Off-Grid or Put an RV/Tiny Home on My Land?

Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’ve been dreaming of getting away from it all—parking your RV on your own land, putting up a tiny home, or maybe just living a simpler life. But can you really do that legally? Let’s break it down.


🛠️ 1. Zoning 101 Every piece of land is assigned a zoning code by the county it’s in. This determines what you can and can’t do on it. In Putnam County, Florida (where we specialize), many parcels are zoned R-2—meaning you can:

  • Camp on your land

  • Park an RV

  • Place a tiny home on wheels

  • Build a permanent home later


2. Off-Grid Living: What to Expect If you’re dreaming of solar panels, composting toilets, and rainwater collection, you’re in luck—many of the areas we sell in are off-grid friendly. But it’s important to know:

  • Most raw land doesn’t come with utilities.

  • If you want water/septic/electric, you’ll need permits—and you usually need to own the land outright first.


3. Owner Financing + Use = How It Works Here’s the good news: When you buy land from us on terms, you can use the land (camp, park your RV, etc.) while you make monthly payments.


4. But You Can’t Build Yet Until the land is paid off in full and the title is in your name, you can’t legally build permanent structures. Why? The county needs proof of ownership to issue permits.


Pro Tip: We’ll help you understand what’s allowed, what’s not, and how to make it all work with your budget and goals.
