Common questions.
Does Houston have zoning?
The City of Houston does not have a zoning ordinance. Land use is shaped instead by deed restrictions and the city's development regulations, and many surrounding cities do have zoning, so each site needs its own review.
What should I check before buying commercial land?
Typical checks include deed restrictions and any zoning, access and frontage, utilities, flood plain status, environmental conditions, and the survey and title.
What is a Municipal Utility District (MUD)?
A MUD is a special district in Texas that finances water, sewer and drainage for development outside city service areas. Property owners in the district pay a MUD tax in addition to other property taxes.
What is due diligence when buying land?
Due diligence is the period after a contract when a buyer investigates the site, typically reviewing the survey, title, environmental reports, utilities, flood plain status and allowed uses.
What is a Phase I environmental site assessment?
It is a report that reviews a property's history and current conditions for signs of contamination. Lenders and buyers often require one before buying commercial land.
How is commercial land priced?
Land is often priced per acre or per square foot, based on comparable sales, location, access, utilities and what can be built on the site.
