Since I retired, I've been wanting to move..but haven't narrowed down a location. Before I purchase property, could someone familiar with their state's airstrip regs post a short note about required length,width,etc..I want to make sure I don't buy property not suited to a strip..Researching each state's regs has turned into quite a chore,and I'm still not sure I have it right...I'll start..

Illinois: 1600 feet minimum length, 75 foot width, 15:1 ratio on approach ends (must displace threshold 15 feet for each 1 foot of height of any obstruction on the approach ends)....and 4:1 ratio on the sides.

I know some states don't have any regs ...more the better! Thanks in advance to anyone who wishes to post on this....

Texas has no minimum regs on private airstrips. FAA requires that operations don't interfere with an instrument approach at any airport within 10 miles.
