• Has the current owner placed any restrictions on the land’s usage?
  • Such covenants can be found either recorded in the courthouse or in the deed.
• For an untested lot:
  • Are the utilities available ‘to’ the lot, or ‘at’ the lot?
  • If public water and sewer is available, what is the charge for the tap-in fees?
  • Is there a moratorium on new sewer hookups?
  • What about well and septic systems? Click here for information on these systems.
• Survey:
  • Do you know what you are buying?
  • Do you know where the property lines are?
  • Are there survey stakes in the ground that correspond to the survey?
