Buying Raw Land in NW Florida
Hey y'all! So I'm thinking about buying a raw piece of land and putting a MH on it. I'm currently trying to buy something off-market so I can get a better deal. A few questions..How do I find out if the land is buildable? I have already checked zoning and it's zoned appropriately for what I'm looking to do. It's pretty flat and there are lots of houses in the near vicinity. I just want to make sure I don't buy a piece of land I'm not going to be able to do anything with. So questions..
1. Who do I contact to find if I can sub-divide a particular piece of property?
2. How do I find out if the lot is buildable?
3. How do I find out if the lot is considered wetlands? Would a land survey cover this?
4. Is there anything major I should look out for in the NW florida area, Santa Rosa County to be specific?
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance! :)
