Doing due diligence on land in Jacksonville FL

[Charles Terrizzi]

I have a signed contract on a piece of land, the idea being to build some SFR units. Trying to make sure all my bases are covered here.

1. Looks like septic tanks are needed here, so I will have the health dept soil test prior to closing, this will ensure that we can put a septic on the property.

2. Contacted the local utility for an availability work sheet for the exact property

3. Should I contact zoning? The property is zoned for SFR. There is a city easement to get to the property, as it sits behind (off the road) some else's property.

Any other due diligence ideas? Title search will be done.

Is it going to be septic or well and septic? If it is going to be W & S the septic has to be at least 75 feet from the well if I recall correctly from when I built my house 5 years ago. So make sure the configuration of the land supports it if thats the case.

Good luck!
