It's illegal in most the US but by selecting my county intentionally from the start I found a place within 20 minutes of a ton of jobs, grocery store, etc. I did it legally with permits, but my permit basically said "ok to build house and no codes/inspections" and that was pretty much the bulk of it.
You have to pick one of the places in the US with little to no codes / paperwork from the beginning. There are still quite a few of them left, but probably not places you have heard of.

- andsoitis 1y agodo you have running water, electricity, sewage, and a road (whether paved or unpaved) provided by a municipality? or did you have to solve for some of these yourself?
- mothballed 1y agoWater - bought share in a private well (cost near zero, well share was unproven but miraculously worked perfectly). Some people haul water. electricity - private power company. But started on a small cheap generator. sewage - private septic system (county allows you to DIY build them so could do this for next to nothing) roads - For miles and miles they are all private dirt roads, but with easements to allow me to pass. The easements go miles until they connect to a county road in town. I first built my road with a shovel, hatchet, and ripping small trees out with a truck. Nothing was provided by the government.
