Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I build on 20 acres in Elko County?

Q: Is there water on the property?
A: The property doesn't have a developed water source, but well drilling is standard in rural Nevada. Typical well depths in this area are 200-600 feet. Contact Nevada Division of Water Resources for well permits.
Q: Can I live in an RV while building?
A: This may be allowed temporarily during construction. Contact Elko County Planning to verify current regulations regarding temporary RV occupancy during home construction.
Q: What about electricity?
A: Contact NV Energy to check on grid power availability and connection costs. Many rural property owners opt for off-grid solar systems, which work excellently in Nevada's sunny climate.
Q: Are there building restrictions?
A: Elko County has basic building codes for safety, but regulations are generally less restrictive than urban areas. Contact the Building Department for specific requirements for your planned structures.
Q: Can I subdivide the property?

Q: What's the internet situation?
A: Satellite internet (especially Starlink) is available and provides reliable high-speed service even in remote locations. This has made rural Nevada living much more viable for remote workers.
Q: Can I pay off the financing early?
A: Yes, early payoff is typically allowed and encouraged. Contact us for the current payoff balance and any applicable terms.
Q: Are property taxes likely to increase?
A: Taxes on vacant land tend to remain stable and low. Once you build, taxes will increase based on improvements, but Nevada's tax rates remain reasonable compared to many states.
