Jurisdiction matters. Confirm whether the parcel is unincorporated, inside a city, or subject to tribal jurisdiction. A county rule does not automatically govern every location within its geographic boundaries.
No county-specific requirement verified. Contact the local planning or agricultural authority before proceeding.

This is an evidence gap, not proof that no restrictions exist.
