Outside Washington County, Utah
No HOA Homes for Sale in Outside Washington County, Utah
Outside Washington County covers the rural pockets and unincorporated land beyond St. George, Hurricane, Washington City, Ivins, Santa Clara, and the other incorporated towns — think the edges near Apple Valley, Dammeron Valley, Central, Pine Valley, Veyo, and the BLM-bordered acreage scattered across the county. Land out here tends to come without the master-planned restrictions that dominate properties inside city limits, which is exactly why no-HOA listings draw buyers who want to park an RV in the driveway, build a detached shop, run a few horses, or paint the house whatever color they want. The trade-off is real: you're farther from Costco and the regional hospital, well and septic are common, and road maintenance can fall to a private agreement rather than a public works department.
Prices in these outlying areas vary widely — a manufactured home on five acres near Apple Valley plays in a very different range than a custom build in Dammeron Valley with Pine Valley Mountain views. What ties the no-HOA listings together is flexibility: most sit on larger parcels, many allow outbuildings and livestock by county zoning rather than CC&Rs, and short-term rental rules follow Washington County code instead of an HOA board's mood. If freedom to use your property matters more than curb-appeal uniformity, this is the slice of the market worth watching. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About no hoa homes in Outside Washington County.
What does 'Outside Washington County' actually mean on the MLS? ▾
It refers to properties in Washington County that sit outside the incorporated city boundaries of St. George, Washington, Hurricane, La Verkin, Toquerville, Ivins, Santa Clara, Leeds, Springdale, Rockville, Virgin, Enterprise, New Harmony, and Apple Valley. These are unincorporated areas and small communities like Dammeron Valley, Central, Veyo, Pine Valley, Gunlock, and Motoqua that fall under Washington County's jurisdiction rather than a city's.
Why are no-HOA homes more common in these outlying areas? ▾
Most of the unincorporated communities developed before master-planned subdivisions became the norm, so lots were platted without CC&Rs or governing associations. You'll see five- and ten-acre parcels, original homesteads, and small custom-build pockets where county zoning is the only rulebook. Newer subdivisions inside St. George or Washington City almost always carry an HOA, which is why buyers chasing freedom look outward.
Can I run livestock or build a shop on a no-HOA property out here? ▾
Usually yes, but it depends on the parcel's zoning — A-20, RA-1, RA-5, and similar agricultural and rural-residential designations allow horses, chickens, and detached outbuildings within size limits. Always pull the parcel's zoning from Washington County before writing an offer, and check for any private road agreements or recorded easements that might restrict use.
Do these properties have city water and sewer? ▾
Often not. Many homes in Dammeron Valley, Veyo, Central, and the unincorporated stretches rely on private wells, shared wells, or culinary water from small special service districts, and septic systems are the norm rather than municipal sewer. Budget for a well inspection, water quality test, and septic inspection during due diligence.
How far is the drive to St. George from places like Dammeron Valley or Apple Valley? ▾
Dammeron Valley, Veyo, and Central sit roughly 20-35 minutes northwest of St. George via SR-18. Apple Valley is about 35-40 minutes east, past Hurricane on SR-59. Pine Valley is closer to an hour because of the canyon road. Plan on the drive being your commute reality if you work in town.
Are short-term rentals allowed on no-HOA properties outside city limits? ▾
Short-term rental rules in unincorporated Washington County are governed by the county's land use ordinance, not an HOA, and they're more permissive in some zones than in others. Nightly rentals are not automatically allowed everywhere — verify the parcel's zoning and any conditional use permit requirements with the county before counting on rental income.
