Depending on the county, you can't get a mailbox (address) nor utilities without first having a building permit.
I.E. they won't bring power to a piece of property unless it's a residence (again...depends on county)
So in some cases, you can't just plop a camper on land and live there until you build. In most cases you have to START building in order to get soft power and or an "address"
