Before you buy a lot near Hillsboro with a plan in mind, pull up the Manchester zoning map early: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. Covered here for this town: who controls zoning for a given parcel, matching a lot to its zoning district, and the questions that save a wasted trip, especially near Hillsboro.
Getting started with the Manchester zoning map
Inside town or city limits, the local government adopts its own zoning map, so a lot in Manchester follows that code. Outside those limits, near Tullahoma or Hillsboro, the county may have its own zoning, or none at all; confirm with the county office.

Manchester and the county around it
