The 240-Day Rule: How to Live on Land That "Bans" Full-Time RVs

The 240-Day Rule: How to Live on Land That "Bans" Full-Time RVs Buying cheap rural land in Arizona? Before you wire a deposit, there's one question almost nobody asks: how many days a year are you actually allowed to live on it? County zoning caps RV occupancy even on land you fully own — and it never shows up in the listing photos. In this video, we pull three real Cochise County parcels — Portal, Sun Sites, and Sierra Vista — and run each through the same checklist: road access, zoning classification, water/septic status, and RV occupancy rules. Same questions, same order, so you can compare them side by side instead of trusting the listing. 📍 What we cover: • Portal, AZ — 20.1 acres, $40,999, RU-4 zoning, existing well + septic (but permits need updating) • Sun Sites, AZ — 0.83 acres, $3,199, flat and road-ready, but no well, septic, or zoning listed • Sierra Vista, AZ — 2.09 acres, $54,999, community water + R-36 zoning — and a hidden occupancy loophole most buyers would miss Whether you're a first-time land buyer looking for the safest entry point, or you're chasing acreage and don't mind remote living, this breakdown shows exactly where each parcel could trip you up — before you find out the hard way. 🔔 Subscribe for more real-parcel breakdowns, county-code deep dives, and off-grid land buying guides. 👉 Grab the free due-diligence checklist in the link below before you go land shopping. #OffGridLiving #LandForSale #ArizonaLand #RuralLand #RVLiving #CochiseCounty #OffGridLand #LandBuyingTips #HomesteadLand #DueDiligence off grid land, cheap land for sale, Arizona land, Cochise County, rural land buying, RV living, land buying tips, due diligence, land zoning, Portal Arizona, Sun Sites Arizona, Sierra Vista land, off grid property, buying land cash, homestead land, RV zoning laws, land red flags, vacant land Arizona, land investing, off grid living
