5 Essentials Every Smart Land Buyer Should Know (Before You Commit)

Thinking about buying land? Don’t skip these five steps:

1. Zoning Reality Check

Is the land actually zoned for what you want to do?

(It’s not safe to assume — always double-check!)

2. Real Access and Utilities

Does the land have legal access?

Are water, sewer, and electricity close by?

(It’s not just about what you see — it’s about what’s recorded.)

3. Hidden Environmental Surprises

Wetlands, flood zones, contaminated soil?

(These hidden issues can cost a fortune to fix.)

4. Approval Maze

What approvals and permits are needed — and how long will they take?

(Spoiler: it’s rarely “quick and easy.”)

5. Sneaky Fees and Costs

Impact fees, hookup fees, development costs…

(Know them before you budget — not after.)
