Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Arrow Point, Missouri

Rules another office applies inside Village of Arrow Point

Village of Arrow Point does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Minimum lot sizeSpecified

  Lots inside Arrow Point village limits in a qualifying subdivision using individual on-site wastewater systems.

  • Applies where a developer proposes seven or more lots, each less than five acres, with individual on-site wastewater systems.
  • The cited values are minimum lot sizes for septic approval, not an Arrow Point zoning district standard.
  • The applicable minimum is based on soil depth, slope, and the geohydrologic evaluation; local regulations can impose additional restrictions.
  • For an individual lagoon, the minimum is at least 2.5 acres if local regulations do not prohibit it.

  minimum lot size for soil absorption system: 0.92 to more than 5 acres (Varies with slope and acceptable-soil depth; qualifying subdivision only.) · individual lagoon minimum lot size: >= 2.5 acres (If local regulations do not prohibit it; individual lagoon serving no more than one single-family residence.)
