Locust Fork and Interstate 65 town

Small town living at the edge of the county
Warrior had 3,224 residents in the 2020 Census and lies in the northernmost part of Jefferson County, with portions reaching into Blount County. The Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River forms its southern boundary, and Interstate 65 and U.S. Highway 31 run through the area.[2]
A smaller town with open ground around it often means space for a pole barn, a workshop or a barndominium. If you are planning one, it depends on your acreage, your access and what the town or county permitting office needs to see.[2]

Warrior questions about barns, shops and river land
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
I have a few acres near the Locust Fork. What kind of building makes sense?
Many rural lots near a river use a pole barn for equipment, hay or vehicles. Because river land can be low in places, the site and drainage matter, so tell us how your ground lies.[2]
Can I turn a barn plan into a place to live?
A barndominium combines living space and shop or storage space under one steel frame. Plans are tailored to the owner, and turnkey work can run from the skeleton to an insulated, wired and plumbed building.[2]
Since the property sits partly in Blount County, who do I check with for permits?
A line like that can matter, so confirm with the building or permitting office for the county where your parcel sits. We cannot speak for their rules, but asking early saves time.[2]
Is Warrior close enough to RBC to talk in person?
Our office is at 79404 Hwy 278 in Blountsville, and Interstate 65 connects the area north of Warrior. You are welcome to call first and arrange a visit.[2]
