Acreage diligence: the order of operations

Use this as the hub. Each item has its own page because a one-page checklist is how people skip the hard parts.

• Zoning and use — what you may legally do with the land
• Septic and wells — systems that are not city water and sewer
• Utilities — electric, gas, internet, propane
• Flood and drainage — lakes, creeks, and Clay County clay
• Surveys and boundaries — fences lie
• Access and driveways — easements and road maintenance
• Ag classification and taxes — the bill can change after you buy
• Mineral and water notes — what is and is not in the deed conversation
• Inspections — house plus land systems
• Financing notes — rural product is not a suburban cookie cutter (we are not a lender)

Sellers: see seller notes. Buyers: buying acreage.
