Building Information
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 deadline to begin building. The Alamosa County Land Use and Development Code, updated through March 2026, sets no time limit to start construction - the land may be held vacant. Confirm the building permit validity period and renewal rules with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
RMH - Residential Manufactured Home. Confirm this parcel's district against the official Alamosa County zoning map, (719) 589-3812.
RMH, Residential Manufactured Home, under the Alamosa County Land Use and Development Code. The district provides for single-family detached homes and double-sectioned manufactured homes, and also permits single-family residential development. Density without central water and sewer is one unit per acre. Setbacks are 25 ft front, 8 ft interior side, 30 ft street side, 25 ft rear, with a 35 ft height limit and 30 percent maximum lot coverage.
Yes. Single-family detached homes are a permitted use in every residential district in Alamosa County. The county minimum floor area for any residential purpose is 500 sq ft. A building permit is required.
Yes. Modular homes are permitted, built to code and placed on a permanent foundation. The 500 sq ft county minimum floor area applies.
Yes, with age limits that matter. A DOUBLE-WIDE must have a minimum 24 ft horizontal wall dimension on at least two non-opposing sides and may not be older than 1976. A SINGLE-WIDE must have been manufactured no more than fifteen years before the date you apply to install it - a rolling window that moves forward each year. Single-wides are permitted outright in the RMH district; in other residential districts they require Special Use Review. Every manufactured home needs a minimum 600 sq ft footprint, a foundation designed by a Colorado Registered Design Professional Engineer, installation by a Colorado-licensed installer, wheels and axles and towing gear removed, and siding of wood, brick or stone or a lookalike material.
Alamosa County applies the same age limits as for manufactured homes - double-section not older than 1976, single-section manufactured no more than fifteen years before the install application. Single-section units are permitted outright only in the RMH district; elsewhere they need Special Use Review. Permanent foundation with engineer-stamped drawings required. These limits are stricter than neighbouring Costilla County, which only bars pre-1976 units.
It depends entirely on how the tiny home is built. A tiny home on a PERMANENT FOUNDATION built to the residential code must meet the county's 500 sq ft minimum floor area. A tiny home ON WHEELS is classified as a recreational vehicle under the Alamosa County code - park-model and other tiny homes on a trailer frame or axles and titled as a vehicle fall under the RV definition - which means it is subject to the 180-day-per-year temporary occupancy limit rather than being a permanent dwelling. Discuss your specific plan with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812 before buying.
Yes, a driveway access permit is required for any new driveway taking access from a county-maintained road. A residential driveway serving one home must be at least 10 feet wide and no more than 24 feet, with one access point per lot and no more than two. Contact Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
No. No building moratorium appears in the Alamosa County Land Use and Development Code as updated through March 2026. Confirm current status with Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
No — property is outside FEMA-designated flood zones per due diligence review.
Allowable Uses
No. An RV is not a dwelling unit under the Alamosa County code and may not be used as a permanent residence. Recreational use is capped at 180 cumulative days per year and requires an approved septic connection. Living on site during a build is handled separately under the temporary RV occupancy permit, which allows 12 months renewable to 24.
Yes. Alamosa County allows temporary RV occupancy during construction of a residence for 12 months, renewable to a cumulative total of 24 months - more generous than neighbouring Costilla County's 18 months. Requires connection to an approved OWTS, proof of a well or other legal and adequate water source, a building permit already obtained for the residence, proof of ownership, and no county or state violations on the property. Renewal requires demonstrated progress: at least one inspection passed in the prior 180 days, applied for at the same time as the building permit renewal.
Yes - up to 180 calendar days per year, cumulative - but the septic system comes first. Alamosa County requires the RV to be connected to an approved On-Site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), or to permitted sanitation facilities connected to one, as a condition of approval. Privies and outhouses are not allowed anywhere in the county, and the code does not describe a shorter allowance for camping before a septic system is installed. Plan the OWTS permit as your first step. You must also own both the property and the RV, the property must be free of code violations, and the use must be non-commercial - renting out camping space is not permitted. Once a permitted home exists on the parcel, guests staying in an RV are an accessory use and fall outside the 180-day count. Confirm current requirements with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
Yes - up to 180 calendar days per year, cumulative. Alamosa County applies the same rule to tents and other temporary structures as it does to RVs, including the same condition: sanitation must connect to an approved OWTS septic system before approval. Privies and outhouses are not allowed anywhere in the county, and the code sets out no shorter allowance for camping before a septic system is installed. Non-commercial use only. Confirm current requirements with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
Hunting is not addressed anywhere in Alamosa County's Land Use and Development Code. The San Luis Valley offers extensive public land, and the Great Sand Dunes area and surrounding public lands are within reach. For seasons, licenses, unit boundaries and regulations refer to Colorado Parks & Wildlife at cpw.state.co.us.

Water
None. Water is by private well or cistern - there is no public water.
Private well or cistern. Household-use well permitting is through the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Hauled water into a cistern is common practice in the San Luis Valley.
Yes, with a permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
Commonly 100-250 ft in this area, varies by parcel. Confirm with a licensed local well driller before budgeting.
Yes. Cisterns and water storage tanks are permitted and widely used.
Yes. Rooftop rainwater collection is legal in Colorado for residential use, subject to state volume limits.
Sewer, Septic or Other
No. There is no public sewer serving this area; an OWTS septic system is required.
Yes, with an Alamosa County OWTS permit and a licensed county installer. Whether the county sets a minimum parcel size for septic is not published - confirm at (719) 589-3812 before buying a small parcel.
Electricity
No power at the lot. Power is available in the wider area but would require extension. Confirm the connection point and cost for your specific parcel.
No power on site. Off-grid solar is the common solution; grid extension is possible but must be quoted. Confirm feasibility and cost with the local utility provider before buying.
A wind generator is classified as a structure under the Alamosa County code, so it requires a permit and must meet the district's setbacks and the 35-foot maximum height that applies in residential districts. That height cap is the practical constraint. Confirm your specific installation with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
Yes. Solar energy systems are an expressly permitted residential accessory use in the Alamosa County code - no special review required. A state electrical permit for solar applies, and the county charges a $100 solar PV permit fee. Note this differs from neighbouring Costilla County, which exempts solar from permitting entirely.
Gas
No natural gas service in this area. Propane is standard.
Propane is standard practice in the rural San Luis Valley. Confirm any setback or permit requirement with Alamosa County Land Use & Building at (719) 589-3812.
