I Need To Know If A Lot Is Buildable

Does anyone know where can I find out if a lot is buildable.



I am interested in buying a lot located out in the country side, 20 miles from my house. I need to make sure that there are not restrictions as far as building a house on it.



Any responses will be greatly appreciated.



Thank you.

    Check w/ the Planning Department, to verify the zoning, and if the zoning can be modified.

    A few more things to check (other than just zoning):
    - wetland;
    - 100 year flood plain;
    - ingress/egress (is there a road on at least 1 side of the road);
    - easements (e.g. power line);
    - EPA issues;
    - value.

    Good luck !

    protected habitat
    Not only EPA, but State and County (very decentralized)
    this may have been said, geological/geotech

    is one that comes up here... I want to see a California red-legged frog!!

    Answer to question:
    1) Due Diligence.
    2) What if you were buying the property?
    3) The proper way depends on what you want.
    4) Town subdivision approval comes with the ability to construct if you pay for the building permit. The developer of the subdivision had all plots approved for new construction of its intended use. Please refer to answer #1 just in case the subdivision approval has been amended for change.
