QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Start with a little clarity.

Can I build on agricultural land?

Ask the local planning authority about your specific parcel and proposed use. Zoning, site conditions, recorded restrictions and permit requirements all need separate consideration.

Does nearby electricity mean I can connect?

Request written information from the utility for your parcel, including the proposed service route, scope, estimated charges and exclusions.

Should I rely on an old survey?

Share it with a licensed surveyor and explain your intended use. Ask whether it provides the information you need and whether additional work is appropriate.
