READ THIS: We are not the Planning & Zoning department and while we try to answer common questions about what the property can be used for, we can't provide a yes or no answer for every circumstance. Below we provide helpful contact information to complete due diligence. Wild Domain Land or its affiliates make no warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied relative to usability, the exact location, desirability, or usefulness of the properties or boundary lines of the properties. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the condition of the property, the physical aspects of the land, its geographical location, accessibility, and correct acreage. All information contained herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer is required to complete Buyer's own due diligence prior to purchasing any property from Wild Domain Land or its affiliates.
No time limit to build - the land may be held vacant indefinitely. Building permit terms are set by the Apache County Building Ordinance; confirm at (928) 337-7526.
A-G, Agricultural General - Apache County's default district. Confirm on the county zone map with Community Development, (928) 337-7526.
Zoned A-G, Agricultural General, under the Apache County Zoning Ordinance - the county's default district for unincorporated land, providing for agriculture, recreation and limited residential use side by side. One single-family dwelling, modular home or manufactured home is allowed per parcel, with a minimum parcel of one acre where the home is served by septic. Confirm the district for this parcel with Apache County Community Development at (928) 337-7526.
Yes. One single-family dwelling per parcel is a permitted use, site-built or modular, with a minimum parcel of one acre when served by septic. A building permit through Apache County Community Development is required.
Yes. Modular homes built to code on a permanent foundation are permitted - one dwelling per parcel.
Yes, with an age rule that matters: a newly installed manufactured home must be 15 YEARS OLD OR NEWER at installation - a rolling window, not a fixed year. An older manufactured home is possible only through a Conditional Use Permit. Every manufactured home needs an IRC-compliant landing at each entrance, and joining two stand-alone units is prohibited. At Concho's elevation, confirm the roof snow load requirement - homes built after 2009 must meet the local snow load or carry an approved engineered roof structure.
No. Mobile homes - pre-HUD units - are prohibited in all zones in Apache County, with no exception process. Only HUD-code manufactured homes 15 years old or newer may be newly installed.
Tiny homes built to the residential code on a permanent foundation are reviewed like any site-built home through Apache County Community Development. A tiny home on wheels is a recreational vehicle - see the RV rules for this county, which are unusually accommodating. Confirm your specific plan at (928) 337-7526.
A county access permit may be required when connecting a new driveway to a county-maintained road; interior subdivision roads are unmaintained dirt. Confirm with Apache County at (928) 337-7526.
No moratorium on building. No building freeze or development restriction.
Based on FEMA flood map data, this property is not located within a designated FEMA floodplain or Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Flood insurance is typically not required, though buyers are encouraged to verify flood status independently if planning development.
Allowable Uses
Yes, with a permit - and this is rare. Apache County issues an RV Dwelling Permit allowing an RV to serve as the dwelling on a parcel with no other principal dwelling, with connection to an approved septic system. That makes full-time RV living a real, lawful option here - something almost no other rural county offers. Confirm current permit terms and fees with Apache County Community Development at (928) 337-7526.
Yes. With a building permit issued for your home, an RV Dwelling Permit runs alongside it until the building permit expires or the home receives its Certificate of Occupancy. Septic connection required. Confirm terms at (928) 337-7526.
Yes - up to 30 consecutive days once per calendar year without a permit, with a free camping permit available for longer arrangements. And for those who want to stay, Apache County's RV Dwelling Permit allows an RV as the dwelling itself once a septic system is in - a genuine full-time path. Waste must go to an approved system. Confirm current terms with Apache County Community Development at (928) 337-7526.
Yes - up to 30 consecutive days once per calendar year without a permit. Confirm current terms with Apache County Community Development at (928) 337-7526.
