Things You Need to Know Before Buying Land, Soil, or Farmland
🏗 Don’t Confuse Land, Farmland, and Property
The legal status of land, farmland, and property differs. Not every piece of land is suitable for construction; to qualify as land, it must be designated in the zoning plan for residential, commercial, or industrial use.
🌾 Farmlands Are Restricted from Construction
Farmlands are designated for agricultural production and cannot be used for construction. Building a tiny house or a prefabricated structure on farmland is illegal and considered an unauthorized building, which carries demolition risks and hefty fines.
🚧 Check the Zoning Status and Subdivision Conditions
The ability to subdivide a property depends on certain physical conditions. If a plot does not have direct access to a cadastral road, subdivision is not permitted.
🏡 Size Matters for Residential Construction
Building a house on farmland under 5,000 square meters is prohibited. Even if the land exceeds this limit, it must have access to a cadastral road and fulfill requirements like documented agricultural or livestock activities to obtain construction approval.
🔍 Beware of Misleading Land Advertisements
Some properties listed as farmland may be marketed with phrases like "scenic view," "ready infrastructure," or "utility subscriptions available", but this does not mean they are legally approved for construction.
⚠️ Construction is Completely Forbidden in Certain Areas
Building on reservoir zones, lands at risk of landslides, or protected plains is strictly prohibited.
✅ Always Conduct Thorough Research Before Buying Land
In addition to checking the title deed, verify the zoning status, construction permits, and whether the land suits your intended use. Seeking legal advice can help safeguard your investment.
