Lancaster County Land Readiness Guide

Understand the characteristics, restrictions and unanswered questions that may affect the purchase, ownership, use or sale of Lancaster County land.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply trying to understand a parcel you already own, this guide will help you organize what you know and identify what should be researched further.

Every parcel of land is different. Acreage, legal access, zoning, road frontage, sewage feasibility, floodplain, wetlands, utilities, preservation restrictions, title concerns and existing improvements may all affect how land can be bought, used, marketed and sold.

This guide will help you organize what you know, identify questions that require further research and prepare for a more informed conversation with the appropriate professionals.
