It seems the old hunting cabins of yesteryear are hard to come by. Are there any counties in Texas where you can just just up a 12' x 18' shack, generator for electric, bring in your water, and set up an out house. I might be going about it wrong but it seems now a days you have to pretty much put up a small house.
I want to get a small spot of land, set up a dwelling, like a 12 x 18 concrete block, flat roof, and use an electric generator for power, bring in water, use an outhouse (or even chemical toilet.
Thanks for steering in in a right direction.

I may be wrong but I would think you could do that just about anywhere that is incorporated

I have the same understanding. But I think if you are hooked up to a public water supply you have to have a septic system.

What is stopping you ?

I would just do it but get it away from the house and kinda secluded. It's not always legal. I had one years ago. A guy from the County came by for some reason and mentioned my "deer stand". I told him it was my out house. He told me that they were not legal in that County and to keep my mouth shut about it. I won't say what County.

I meant to say that is not incorporated.

I have a very nice built outhouse for sale.

this is not true,

if you put in a septic system , you have to notify the state, they will do soil test before approving such dig and install

that's what I had to do on my land and I dug my own wells

If you dig a big hole and put your outhouse on top you're good to go

Dave many unincorporated rural counties do not have building codes nor enforcement personnel. Using common sense you have great latitude on accomplishing your objective, I would inquire with folks in your county government as to the existence of codes. depending on where you are you will probably find you have great flexibility. Speaking from experience I was able to achieve all that you are considering without having to deal with unnecessary complications.
