Whether you’re dreaming of building a custom home, starting a farm, or simply making a long-term investment, buying land in Ohio is a smart move—but it comes with its own unique considerations. At AT Team, we’re here to guide you every step of the way so you can make informed, confident decisions.
✅ 1. Know Your Purpose
Before buying land, clearly define your goals. Are you:
- Building a home?
- Starting a business?
- Investing for the future?
- Farming or using it recreationally?
Each goal may come with different zoning, utility, and development requirements.
📍 2. Location Matters
Ohio offers a diverse landscape—from rural farmland to suburban neighborhoods and up-and-coming city areas. Consider:
- Proximity to utilities and main roads
- School districts and community amenities
- Property taxes and land use restrictions
- Growth potential and future resale value
Our team can help you compare different areas and choose one that aligns with your plans and budget.
📑 3. Check Zoning and Land Use Regulations
Don’t assume you can do whatever you want with the land. Zoning laws vary by county and municipality. Common zoning types include:
- Residential
- Commercial
- Agricultural
- Industrial
We help buyers confirm land use rights, building codes, and any restrictions through local zoning offices and planning departments.
💡 4. Utilities and Access
Raw land may not have access to:
- Water or sewage systems
- Electricity or gas lines
- Internet or phone service
- Road access
It’s crucial to know what’s already available and what will require additional investment. We’ll help you evaluate infrastructure so there are no surprises later.
🛠️ 5. Conduct Due Diligence
Before closing on a land deal, you should:
- Get a land survey to confirm boundaries
- Order a soil test for building suitability (especially in rural areas)
- Check for environmental issues like wetlands or flood zones
- Verify title and deed with a qualified title company
We work with trusted partners to make sure your land purchase is clean and secure.
