How big is the lot?
The county record shows 0.96 acre, about 41,818 sq ft. A survey gives the exact number.
Is there a survey?
The owner does not have a survey. A buyer will need to order one, and it also confirms the exact lot size and boundaries.
What is on the property?
An existing 2,040 sq ft retail building. Buyers should inspect it and confirm its age, condition, and whether it meets current City rules.
Is it in a flood zone?
The MLS flood data shows FEMA Zone X (500-year), outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Buyers who need certainty can order a flood determination.
Are water and sewer available?
The MLS record lists public water and public sewer. Buyers should confirm service and any fees with the City of Bastrop.
What is the zoning?
The City of Bastrop says the lot is inside the city limits and zoned General Commercial. Under the City's Development Code, that district allows retail stores, restaurants, offices, personal and professional services, auto sales and service, and hotels. Buyers should confirm their use in the City's Table of Permitted Uses.
What are the setbacks and building limits?
For General Commercial, the City's Development Code lists a 20 ft front setback, 5 ft side, 10 ft corner side street, 20 ft rear, a 55 ft (5 story) height limit, and 65% maximum impervious coverage. Lots along a TxDOT road also need a 30 ft Highway Corridor Setback, and the City noted a 20 ft landscape buffer along SH 71. Buyers should verify all of this with the City.
Can I reuse the existing building?
The City says the existing building appears to meet setbacks, but parking and landscaping may not meet today's code. A rebuild must follow current rules. If a use that does not meet current rules stops for 6 to 18 months, the right to continue it can end. Buyers should verify with the City.
Are there deed restrictions?
A preliminary title search found no recorded deed restrictions. A title search is not a title commitment, so buyers should order their own title commitment and survey to confirm what is on record.
Can I get the zoning in writing?
Yes. The City issues a zoning verification letter through its online portal. As of October 2026 the fee was $156 and the usual turnaround was about 7 days.
Does the City meet with buyers first?
Yes. The City holds free Pre-Application Meetings on Thursdays to review a buyer's concept. Contact the City's Planning and Development Department to schedule one.
What can I build or open here?
Allowed uses, setbacks, and driveway access are set by the City of Bastrop and TxDOT. Buyers and buyer's agents should verify them directly before making an offer.
What streets does the corner touch?
The SH 71 frontage road, Perkins Street (also called Smith Street), and Hasler Street.
Is financing available?
Financing through Loan Factory may be available for qualified buyers, subject to approval and property eligibility. Texas only. Ask Ai Tran.
