Whether your property has covenants or not, zoning regulations still apply.  Depending of your proximity to town, your zoning regulations may come from town or from the county.  If your dream includes putting up a building or having animals, be sure to give the Zoning department a quick call.  They often have limits on the amounts of certain types of animals per acre(s)  in addition to regulations on any buildings you want to put up.  A quick phone call can help make sure that your dream property works for you.
