hello again! I posted a few days ago about maybe purchasing some raw land. I've contacted everyone (tax office, register of deeds, planning, and environmental). They told me what I wanted to hear and that what is being transferred is 1.7 acres. I will have it surveyed before purchase but it all hangs on the perc test. if it doesn't pass that then it's not worth it to me. of course, in order to perc I will have to locate the property lines, roughly. one corner is staked that I know of. this test is not a set in stone thing by any means, I just want to see if any of it will be close to suitable. I'm pretty sure of the house I want, and vaguely sure of where I want it but that may change, it will probably change actually so again, this is not the perc test I'll be relying on for my future house.

so with all of that said, it is a wooded lot and they said it would be no problem to perc it as long as I clear a spot for them. my question is, what would be a good app to download/purchase that would, again, "roughly" give me an idea of where the property lines are so I can get them in there to test it? I have a survey map from the 70s 😂 but at least one corner is marked with an iron rod. I just need it to be somewhat close and I'll be getting them to test right in the middle of the property back off the road a bit and well within any standoff from the edges. I don't mind wasting $200 on a test if it saves me from a nightmare that won't perc and again, if it passes I'll be getting it surveyed.

Hello! I'm currently saving up money and have enough to make a cash offer on a piece of unfinished land. I've never bought any land or property so I'm extremely new to this. My intention is to clear the land, or part of it, and place a singlewide home on it and go bit by bit- clear it, perc, septic, then finally buy the home so I'll only finance that and maybe the septic. It is not in town limits so it is not zoned to exclude "mobile homes".

My question, in the GIS it shows the plot or parcel as being roughly 1.7 acres but it is only deeded for 1 acre. The person's father left the land for the sons and they split the large tract into several 1 acre plots but this one doubled for whatever reason. From what I understand, that would mean I'm only buying and can only use 1 acre, correct? I'm going to the register of deeds Friday to ask them all about it as well. I think the last time a survey was done was in the 80s. thank you for your help
