Kenedy County Land Runs Through County Rules

Sarita is the county seat. County offices sit at the courthouse on East La Parra Avenue. The tax stack is county-scale: the county, a common school district, a groundwater district, and an emergency-services district.

Buying land here starts with county and district calls. Ask the appraisal district and tax office about the parcel. Then check groundwater rules and deed limits before you assume what you can build.

Septic follows state rules too. An OSSF permit and approved plan are required to build, change, fix, extend, or use a septic system unless a narrow exemption applies. Call the local permit office while you choose the house site.
