What building in Lake Butler actually involves

The ground
Sandy flatwoods soil over a hardpan that perches water, so a building pad here gets built up rather than cut in.
The water
The lake sits in the middle of town and the New River drains the area, leaving low ground that holds water well after a storm has passed.
The building stock
A small county-seat town of older frame houses around the lake, with newer construction on acreage outside the limits.
The rules
Permits run through City of Lake Butler and Union County, and city permitting inside the limits and Union County outside them, with septic approval standard on rural parcels.
