In the western states, surface water is governed by prior appropriation (“first in time, first in right”), and rights must be verified with the state engineer or water resources office before closing. Eastern states generally follow riparian rules that allow reasonable use by landowners along a stream. In either case, groundwater rules, well permits, and aquifer recharge determine what the land can support for a home, livestock, or crops.
Keeping an active agricultural, timber, or wildlife-management valuation can reduce annual property taxes substantially; in Texas the program is the 1-d-1 open-space valuation. Before closing, confirm the parcel meets the county’s minimum acreage and history-of-use requirements, and understand that changing the use can trigger rollback taxes for prior years.
Never rely on old fence lines or county tax maps as boundaries. A current boundary survey (an ALTA/NSPS survey for larger or financed purchases) sets pinned corners and identifies encroachments and recorded easements. Confirm legal, deeded access to a public road; a parcel reached only by informal or prescriptive use can be difficult to insure and finance.
Conventional lenders typically require larger down payments and shorter terms on raw land than on improved property. Owner financing, farm-credit lenders, and local banks that know the area often fill the gap; purchase-money notes with a balloon payment after several years are common in rural transactions. Have an attorney review the note and deed of trust before signing.
