[Cob] Best place for Cob

[Joe Skeesick]

What you'll find out in that area (I'm from Oklahoma, though not there 
now) is that while there are building codes there is no money in place 
for enforcement. Effectively that means no code, unless they want there 
to be. It's going to all depend on where you are located. If you are in 
or very near a larger town/city you will have restrictions of course. 
That said I still own 30 acres out near Meeker OK that I could build 
nearly anything I wanted on with no input from the state. Certainly it 
will be nothing like the East coast regs that you are familiar with. 
(I'm in Northern Virginia currently so I am familiar there as well)

So, in short, the answer to this question is the same as for most 
questions.... 'it depends'  :)

If you have specific questions about the area that I can help with feel 
free to ask.

Best of luck,

Joe
