Municipal conditions and restrictions

Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.

  • If the buyer plans to build a house, the owner must obtain a non-agricultural land certificate or file an Article 5 application to change land classification to residential.

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
