Buy Land With Confidence
Land can be a smart investment — or a costly mistake. We help you understand zoning, utilities, build costs, and long-term potential before you commit.
Critical Due Diligence for Land Buyers
Zoning & Use
- • Residential vs. commercial zoning
- • Setback requirements
- • Height restrictions
- • Permitted uses
Site Conditions
- • Road frontage & access
- • Topography & drainage
- • Soil & perc test results
- • Wetlands & flood zones
Utilities & Costs
- • Water/sewer availability
- • Well/septic feasibility
- • Electric & gas hookups
- • Estimated build costs
Red Flags to Watch For
No road frontage
Landlocked parcels require easements that may be costly or impossible to obtain.
Failed perc test
Without sewer access, a failed perc test can make land unbuildable.
Wetlands designation
Protected wetlands severely limit what you can build and where.
Unclear boundaries
Always get a survey — fence lines and descriptions often don't match reality.
