Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
