Developing a vacant lot, is possible, as opposed to buying a House. However, use caution, and common sense, while managing your vendors.
Septic systems must be certified, by a licensed septic company, per Florida Department of Health standards, prior to replacing a mobile home, or building a new home. This isn’t explained by many companies, and the associates responsible for receiving calls, from customers. In short, you may call to schedule a Pump-out & Inspection, thinking what you’ll get is the full service, to advance your development plan.
What the company charges? A typical Pump-out ranges $375-$475, plus an additional Certification fee, which they use, because it adds value, to their services, and is also required, by the Department of Health. The pump-out is a regular service to clean the sludge out of your septic tank. This service is available to everyone! This is important! This is step 1. The inspection certification is KEY here. If you don’t ask for a Certification, with your pump-out, you won’t be able to advance your development. You, as the property owner, are responsible for wording it, so these companies understand what you’re doing, and your needs. The service associates provide minimal information, as far as developing assistance. If you don’t spell it out for them, believe me, they will underperform and not satisfy your needs.
Buyer beware! Florida service contractors will charge excessive fees for minimal services. Do not start calling the #1 company, you find on Google, during your search. As a property manager, developing lots, be forewarned, they aren’t, necessarily, acting in your best interest. This can be confusing, time-consuming, and most importantly, a waste of money. To add the inspection, at the time of pump-out service, you’ll save more than $200, than if they allow you to “not correctly ask for it,” and perform a routine pump-out service.
