Union County landowners

Understand your Union County land’s options.

In Union County, utilities often decide what’s possible. Union County Water publishes wastewater capacity updates, and availability can differ by treatment basin — so two similar tracts can face very different paths.

Local factors that may affect buyer interest in Union County

These are observations from public sources, not predictions about any specific property.

Source checked

Sewer capacity varies by basin

Union County Water operates five water reclamation facilities, each serving specific drainage areas. Permitting capacity is evaluated using actual plant flows plus permitted and obligated flows.

Approved projects use capacity first

Capacity is set aside for development that is approved but not yet built, which reduces what’s available for new requests.

Planned treatment expansion

The Union County Chamber reported a $48.5 million upgrade to the Twelve Mile Creek facility targeted to reach 9 million gallons per day by 2026. Current status needs confirmation with Union County Water.

Large-lot residential interest

Questions Union County owners ask

There’s a sewer line near my property. Is that enough?

No. A nearby line doesn’t establish treatment capacity or a right to connect. We mark sewer as “Confirmation needed” until Union County Water confirms availability.

Which town’s rules apply to my land?

Union County includes several towns with their own planning boards and policies. We identify the jurisdiction from official zoning maps before discussing potential uses.

Could my land work without public sewer?

Some lower-density uses may be possible, subject to soils and health department approval. That’s “Not assessed” until it’s evaluated by the right authority.

How the review works

1

Share your goals

Tell us about the property and what you hope to achieve — sell, partner, wait, or simply understand.

2

We review the information

We check public records for zoning, utilities, access, and nearby planning activity, labeling each finding.

3

Agree on next steps

We talk through what’s known and unresolved, and the next step that fits — including doing nothing for now.

What the review does and doesn't establish

It does: organize public information about your land, label each item by how well it's supported, and suggest a next step that matches your goal.

It doesn't: appraise your land, confirm boundaries, guarantee zoning or utility approval, or commit any buyer.

Requesting a review doesn't obligate you to sell or to take any next step.
