I would like to build my own home on my own land in atl without HOA or communties .is this possible?
close to the city as possible

Yes. There are plenty of homes here in metro Atlanta that do not belong to HOA's. We jokingly refer to them as "dirt on the side of the road."

I specialize in Marietta real estate and Cobb County property and view hundreds of deeds each month. Many are not held in a subdivision. Havings said that, the clear majority are in subdivisions and the majority of these subdivisions are subject to protective covenants run by HOA's.

If you don't like the idea of someone telling you what color to paint your house, whether the trashcan can be visible from the road, or to keep your mailbox straight, then you probably should look at buying a plot of land not in a community. The downside of course, is that your home won't be worth as much as those of us in an HOA. I am a numbers person and can easily defend that statement.

If higher appreciaion isn't your goal but less restriction is, then you are definitely going in the right direction.

I am not sure what these other comments are concerning government interference. I suspect HOA's mean something else to those outside of Georgia. You will always have restrictions on what kind of house you can build due to local zoning ordinances. That has nothing to do with HOA's. The county will always be at the ready to collect taxes regardless of your location in that county. Those roads, cables, and plumbing lines didn't put themselves there on their own.

Hope this helped.

Sure buy enough land. Once you've got space away from all those HOA and communities, you've got nothing to worry about except did you rig your septic tank right, or should you have paid the guy an extra hundred to do it right?

never! not with TAX i mean BIG tax

Are you next to air space of any kind. I kind of got an idea when I saw this guy had built a home on the water with empty bottles keeping it afloat. I was working on a blimp principle but it gets kind of large scale fast.

While I can't speak for the area around Atlanta, it is possible to avoid HOAs and municipalities, though your county can be just as bad.

Metropolitan Atlanta is so large, it may be impossible to avoid municipalities.

The best place to go is to the county and inquire as to their zoning maps. These are kept in different departments in different states, so I can't tell you where to go in GA. You can also go to the city and inquire into their city maps.

Some states the county can zone in some only a municipality can. Some states have overlapping jurisdiction.

If you manage to find an area outside a municipality limits, you will have to contend with getting utilities.

On top of that, any land that is so unencumbered and close to the city will be in big demand.

Good luck though. It is a dream worth having.
