Anybody know minimum parcel size to build house in Henry County Indiana?

[Archbishop]

As the title suggests I'm trying to learn what the minimum parcel size is to build a house in Henry county. The lot is located north of Shirley Indiana by a few miles. (Yes I know Shirley is not in Henry county, but the lot is.) The lot size is 2.6 and is out in the country. Thinking of purchasing for a rainy day, but wanted to find out if I'll be able to build if and when the time comes.
Thanks in advance.

The best place to check is going to be Henry Country courthouse or other local government agencies.

My gut tells me 2.6 (acres?) is going to be much large that minimum. Just for reference, my house is in a rural area on .39 acres. Heck, people plop down a house-trailer on a .1 acre lot all the time.

I live in the city of New Castle and the lot my house sits on is a total of 5700 square feet.

2.6 what? Acres? That should be plenty. Have you seen the lots developers build on these days??????

Realistically, your bigger concers are how deep you'll have to go for water and a satisfactory perc test for what is almost sure to be a septic requirement.

I hear you all. I swear though I remember hearing about some county here in central Indiana that had a 5 acre minimum. Yes I meant 2.6 acres. Call the County government office today. Got voice mail. Left message, never heard back from them. Perk and septic, ya that should be fun........

I think that Henry is similar to Hancock; which (I think) is 5 acres, if not in a plotted subdivision.

Shelby and Johnson have 5 acre minimums unless (last time I checked which was in the 90's) there are utilities available. If you have to have a septic and a well, a lot of places are 5 acres. You also need to check the zoning for the parcel as well.
