Frequently Asked Questions About Homes with Acreage in Bucks County

What should I check before buying a home with acreage in Bucks County?

Start with how the land can be used. Zoning, easements, floodplain areas and any conservation or farmland preservation restrictions can limit building, subdividing or keeping animals. Many larger properties also rely on a private well and a private septic system, so plan for water testing and a septic inspection during your inspection period.

What is Clean and Green, and how does it affect property taxes?

Clean and Green is Pennsylvania's preferential assessment program for farm and forest land. Land generally needs to be at least 10 acres in agricultural use, agricultural reserve or forest reserve, although smaller agricultural land can qualify if it produces at least $2,000 a year in farm income. Enrolled land is assessed on its use value instead of its market value. If the land is later changed to a use the program does not allow, the owner can owe up to seven years of rollback taxes plus 6% simple interest a year, so ask whether a property is enrolled before you make an offer.

Can I subdivide or build on a property with acreage?

It depends on the township's zoning and subdivision rules, the lot's road frontage, soils and sewage options, and any deed restrictions or conservation easements. Some Bucks County land is covered by farmland preservation or conservation easements that limit future development. If you plan to add a home, barn, pool or other structure, review the rules with the township and a land use attorney or engineer before you buy.
