No HOA Homes for Sale in Erda, Utah
Erda is one of the last corners of the Wasatch Front where rural living still pencils out, and the lack of HOAs on most of its lots is a big reason buyers point their search here. The town sits in Tooele Valley between Stansbury Park and Tooele City, about 35 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake. Lots tend to run from one acre up to ten or twenty, zoned RR-1, RR-5, or agricultural, with views west to the Stansbury Mountains and east toward the Oquirrhs. Most parcels were carved out decades before master-planned communities arrived, so they were never burdened with covenants, architectural committees, or monthly dues.
For buyers, no HOA in Erda usually translates to real freedoms: parking the RV and boat next to the shop, running a few horses or a small herd on pasture, building a detached garage without design review, and skipping the assessments that show up in nearby Stansbury Park or Overlake. County zoning and any recorded deed restrictions still apply, and well and septic systems are the norm rather than the exception, so due diligence on water rights and percolation matters more than in a typical subdivision. Inventory turns over slowly because owners tend to stay put, but new listings come up steadily as Erda incorporates and grows. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About no hoa homes in Erda.
Why do so many Erda homes have no HOA? ▾
Erda grew out of Tooele Valley ranchland, and most parcels were platted as large-lot rural residential rather than master-planned subdivisions. Lots of one acre, five acres, and ten acres are common, and those properties were generally sold without covenants. Newer pockets near Erda Way have introduced some HOA communities, but the majority of the town remains covenant-free.
Can I keep horses, chickens, or other livestock on a no-HOA property in Erda? ▾
Yes, in most cases. Tooele County zoning for Erda (RR-1, RR-5, and A-20) allows horses, cattle, chickens, and similar animals based on acreage. Without an HOA layered on top, you only have to satisfy the county code, which is one of the main reasons buyers target Erda over Stansbury Park or parts of Tooele City.
Are there any restrictions at all on a no-HOA home in Erda? ▾
County zoning still applies, plus any recorded deed restrictions from the original subdivision. Setbacks, well and septic rules, accessory building size, and animal counts per acre are all governed by Tooele County. Always pull the title commitment and check for CC&Rs before assuming a property is truly unrestricted.
What do no-HOA homes in Erda typically cost? ▾
Pricing runs a wide range because lot size drives most of the value. Smaller homes on one to two acres often land in the upper $500s to low $700s, while custom builds on five-plus acres with shops and equestrian setups regularly trade between $900K and $1.5M. Land alone, with utilities stubbed, tends to sell from the mid $200s up.
Will Erda always stay HOA-free as it grows? ▾
The older sections almost certainly will, since the lots are already deeded without covenants. However, Erda incorporated as a town in 2022 partly to control development pressure from Salt Lake County overflow. New subdivisions going in along SR-138 and Droubay Road are more likely to carry HOAs, so existing no-HOA inventory is becoming more valuable.
How far is Erda from Salt Lake City for commuting? ▾
Erda sits about 35 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, roughly a 40-minute drive via I-80 and SR-36 outside of rush hour. The Lake Point and Mid-Valley Highway improvements have helped, though winter mornings over the Point of the Mountain on I-80 can add time. Many residents commute to Tooele Army Depot, Stansbury, or the west-side SLC industrial corridor.
