Frequently Asked
Honest answers — no sales pressure.
Is Cottonwood in Shasta or Tehama County?
Cottonwood straddles the border. Most of the town is in Shasta County, but parcels south of the line are in Tehama. We verify which county rules apply to your specific APN.
Are there water and utility issues to plan for?
Many Cottonwood parcels rely on private wells and septic. We help you scope perc tests, water yield, and utility extensions before you buy.
How much land do I need?
It depends on zoning. Some Cottonwood parcels allow manufactured homes on as little as a half-acre; rural zones often require 1–5 acres.
