No. Confirm whether the property includes private frontage, deeded access, association access, or only a nearby lake location. Review recorded documents and applicable rules before assuming you can use a beach, install a dock, or keep a boat.
Livingston County Health Department states that it does not operate a point-of-sale program or conduct well and septic inspections when ownership changes. Buyers should still discuss appropriate inspections and confirm any lender, contract, or other applicable requirements.
Contact the municipality to confirm sewer availability and local requirements. Livingston County requires a soil evaluation to establish onsite sewage-system suitability before a septic permit can be obtained. Do not assume an acreage figure or listing description establishes buildability.
