What are the options for living on your land without waiting for a long building and permitting process? If you're just interested in a very small and simple off-grid home, could you put up some kind of prefab (or even mobile) structure with composting toilet, solar/propane and catchment? Build to code if possible, and then permitted later? Does that work? Just wondering how to avoid paying rent for months or more, seems kind of pointless if you already own your land...
