Here are three things that you should consider when not only purchasing land to build your dream house on in Texas Hill Country, but these rules apply virtually everywhere else too.

1) How Much Am I Going To Pay In Taxes?

One of the things to remember in purchasing land to build on at a later date is what are the taxes going to cost me from the time that I purchase the property until the time I actually build on the property?

Now this time may vary from just a few months to several years. Depending on how long it takes you build and the area where you purchase the property, this can be a significant cost to consider.

There are several developments where the taxes may be less than $50 per year due to Wildlife Agricultural Exemptions allowing you to spend your money on buying more land or saving money for building your home. Make sure you ask your agent about this.

2) Do I have access to high speed Internet and other utilities?

This can be a very important question. In this day and age you are going to want to have access to high speed Internet and utilities. You also want to make sure that you won’t have to pay an arm and a leg to run electric to your lot. Never assume these things and make sure you ask about them.

3) How about water?

Having access to water, be it from a public source or drilling a well is an important question to answer. While it may seem basic, again, make sure you ask your agent about it.

If you have access to public water, how much are the tap fees? If you already have a well, how deep is it and does the pump work? If it does not have access to public water and there is no well, ask how far you will have to drill to get drinkable water.

If you ask these 3 questions before you purchase, you will be able to make a much better decision and truly get the best deal when your purchase land in Texas Hill Country.
