I know a man who built a house inside his pole barn. He likes it so much he's adding a second story. There are no other houses in his property.

To make it airtight and bug proof, he used foam insulation. Living inside a pole barn is his dream come true.

Now the catch 22 in Vigo county.
I don't care how many acres you own, you can only have one house on your property without having the land subdivided.

Perhaps this is why I couldn't build a pole barn on an empty 3/4 acre lot. I had to connect the empty lot to the land my house is built on.

So I can't build an apartment or house inside my pole barn.

Better check with zoning in your county.
Before I can get any permit to build anything, I have to get approval form the Board of Health. Then get approval from Area Planning. You can't get a permit if you want to build in a floodplain. Then get a building permit from the building inspector.

A bathroom would require a septic system. Your septic would depend on the number of bedrooms.

Your electrical has to be inspected before the power company will connect your power.

Then check with insurance.

Better live in a travel trailer and use the temporary electrical for construction. I've heard of some people parking their travel trailer inside a pole barn
Then check with insurance.
