I'm gonna wait for WesternParkOwner to chime in here, it ought to be an eye opener. It won't suprise me that pulling power from the closest point and all the mains distribution on the property itself will exceed $50k, not including any site distribution.

The permits and architecture drawings alone, which you must have before the permits itself will exceed this.

I asked about the plans and permit to rezone today and I got back a "I don't know what you mean. We will get permits as we go."
I think they're planning on getting a well and electricity and all that before even applying for an rv permit and probably just skip all building plans or layout plans ... Which sounds like bad news to me .

I'm interested in how tom/barb things it can be done, any tips or references ?
I know south Texas can be cheaper than other regions but
What worries me is that the one Rinky dinky dirt road they got on the land cost them 10k, that tells me everything else will be a lot too...idk

Not to be cruel or offensive,but this statement alone tells me that your friends, while knowing what they WANT to do, are totally ignorant of HOW to do it, or what it takes to do it, first off, in today's world $50K is NOT a lot of money, and while i'll admit that i'm totally ignorant of Texas law, if you built something around here without surveys & permits in place first, $50K probably wouldn't cover the fines.
I know they are your friends, and you're concerned for them, but obviously they don't want you help, or opinions, so the best thing you can do is step back & let them fall.
