Vacant Land/Wet Land

[Dror R.]

Hi BP members. I stumbled on this site a few months ago and started really taking an interest in vacant land in my home state, New Jersey. I came across a listing for vacant land for $50k and assessed for $200k by the local township office. The catch here is that this piece of land is under Wet Land. I am not to familiar with Wet Lands regulations and was hoping if someone can share some insight on possible solutions and whether it can be built on? Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that wetland areas cannot be built on or developed without government permission. @Seth Williams has an article about wetlands on his blog: https://retipster.com/wetlands/
