How much land do I need to build on?

Newly created lots have minimum lot size requirements depending on whether or not the property is sewered. Generally speaking, residential minimum lot sizes range from 9,000 to 15,000 square feet in sewered areas and 20,000 to 43,000 square feet in unsewered areas. Existing lots of record not meeting the minimum area may be built on as long as all setbacks are met. Variances may be applied for where setbacks cannot be met on existing lots of record. However, there is no guarantee the variance will be granted.
