Assessments
You will get the land for FREE!
However, you will be assessed for part of the cost to develop your property with streets, curb & gutter and water & sewer.
Total estimated cost per lot for development is approximately $25,000.
Through the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) we will be able to reduce this cost to about $14,000*. This will be payable, by you over a 15 year period. It is simply collected semi-annually with your Real Estate Taxes.
Lots in Yellow Have been Deeded to an Individual or have been Built upon
Instant Equity
Some lenders will allow the FREE land to be used as equity (down payment) for a home construction loan, allowing the Assessments to continue to amortize to the City.
The First Step
To begin the approval process, the City of New Richland requires a pre-approval letter from your lender to show you will have the funds to build a home, then you are able to select a lot within the subdivision and fill out the application. **Please note that this process could take up to 4 weeks for approval.
