We are in zone 3 to 4 in northern central mountains of Vermont. We have no zoning, no codes, etc. I specifically bought here over 20 years ago because there was none of that nonsense. I don't need someone telling me how to build on my land, how to live my life. If they don't like it they can buy their own land and stay of of my land. I have very little tolerance for nanny-states.
The only thing we're required to do is get a state approved septic. They put that rule in state wide about 10 years ago. It used to be that if you had more than 10 acres you could build your own septic as long as you weren't causing a problem. That was sensible. Now they're just generating work for the septic technicians, engineers and inspectors. It isn't rocket science. Heck, rocket science isn't that hard, frankly.
Keep vigilant. There are people who will try to steal your freedoms.
