New water well rules for Wise County land

Buying or selling land in western Wise County? New rules from the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District could affect your property.

The minimum lot size to drill a new water well is going from 2 acres to 5 acres in the part of western Wise County where the Trinity aquifer is thin.

It applies to property subdivided after December 31, 2026, starting January 1, 2027. Properties already in the platting process are grandfathered.

If you are selling land: a lot under 5 acres created after 2026 may not be able to get a new well, so the timing of subdividing can change what each parcel is worth.

If you are buying land: ask whether the lot already has a well and when the lot was created, and check the new minimum before you plan to subdivide it later.

Confirm your exact property with the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and an attorney before you list, buy or subdivide. Rules and boundaries can change. Read the blog post.

Other things sellers of country property should know

Wells and septic: buyers and lenders often want a water test and a septic inspection, so know where both stand before you list.

Surveys and fencing: an up-to-date survey avoids surprises on acreage.

Ag exemption: if your land has an agricultural exemption, tell your agent. Changing the use can trigger roll-back taxes, so talk to your tax advisor or attorney.

Minerals: find out which mineral rights go with the sale.

Flood zones: lakefront and creek properties may need flood zone information.
