Land doesn’t fail loudly—it fails quietly. Missing one detail can cost more than the purchase price. Worth watching.

Three frustrations with all this. 1 there is no where to go that directs you to all these sites you need to check. 2 Ive yet to hire a realtor that does this for their client. 3 county records are full of errors and lack of information.

Hire a real estate appraiser, they will do all that work for a flat fee and have knowledge of the area.

My newer neighbor bought a couple pieces of land next to each other. One a small farm field. The other 15 acres of woods on a lake. He had built his road half way to the highest point of the land overlooking the lake. Going through the field and into the woods. Then the army core engineers got wind of it. He had to remove all the road going into the woods as it was considered wet land, and replant some of it. He now lives in a double wide trailer in the middle of the field as the land repair cost him most of his savings and could no longer afford to build a proper house. He was also retired. Was.

You can’t simply ask the county whether there is a lien on the property. You need a written certification from the county stating that it holds no liens against the property, executed under penalty of perjury/forfeiture.
