Before You Buy Land.

Free septic / perc checklist

Check septic and perc readiness before you buy rural land

Generate a parcel-specific septic and perc checklist. We'll show you records to check, seller documents to request, county questions, and what still needs professional review.

Direct answer

Use this as a first-pass verification checklist, not a final parcel decision.

This tool turns a rural land concern into records to check, documents to request, and county or local-authority questions to ask before you rely on a listing claim.

LandCheck can help pre-screen public-source risk signals and organize next steps; it cannot guarantee approval, legal access, septic suitability, utility service, or buildability.

What to verify

Start with the public source path, then confirm parcel-specific facts.

  • Identify the county, parcel, and relevant local office path.
  • Request seller documents instead of relying on listing phrases.
  • Check recorded documents, permits, maps, and source gaps where available.
  • Ask the county or qualified reviewer what still needs parcel-specific confirmation.

Step 1

Tell us about the parcel

Choose the state and county. If the county is in our pilot set, we'll add direct source links.

Optional. Paste the septic or perc claim from the listing.

Optional. What the listing or seller says, e.g. 'septic needed' or 'perk passed'.

Optional. E.g. soil type, floodplain, well distance.
