Buying or selling land in Jackson County is a little more complex than we think. The state of Missouri requires a three-acre minimum with septic. This is for county zoning only, not city lots. They will connect with the city sewer. Just because you have acreage does not mean that the county will agree to split it off. There are different scenarios in each case. It depends on how the land lays, what is around it, and the easements through it. Be very careful when it comes to land. A soil test will need to be done to see if the land will perk for proper drainage of the septic system. The three-acre lot must conform to the lots around it also. Lots of things go into this. Before you put any money down, get the facts from the county. The land will perk better in the summer, spring, or fall more than in winter. You will also want to ensure that there are no restrictions or that restrictions have been recorded. This could prevent you from building your dream home. I'm not trying to scare you; I want you to know before you have buyer's remorse. Building your dream home can be very rewarding, and we do it daily!
