ZONING: "RU-4." This allows homesteading, residential use, manufactured homes, agriculture, livestock, gardens, and more. Anything over 4 acres with this type of zoning allows landowners to qualify for Cochise County's "Owner Builder Opt-Out" rule which means landowners can get a permit to build without any plan reviews or building inspections. In other words, build freely on your own terms, with whatever materials you want. You can build your own structures here including the use of alternative materials such as adobe, earth bag, straw bale, etc. It is a popular area for homesteaders and off-griders for this reason.

Local drilling companies can give you a general estimate based on nearby well depths and explain the permitting process.
