- Is buying land online safe?
- Safety and security of customer information is a big priority for us. LandMonkey.com is a verified Authorize.net merchant. All electronic funds transfers and information handling take place on Authorize.net's secure servers. As an additional layer of protection for our customers, we enforce SSL encryption on all pages of our site.
- Can I pay more than my required monthly payment?
- Certainly. You can pay off the land faster if you wish, without penalty or extra fees. Making more than the minimum required payments on a financed lot will significantly reduce the interest that you are charged.
- When will I receive title to the property?
- You will receive title via a Grant Deed when you have finished paying for the property. Our typical term is 210 months, but you are free to pay the property off faster if you wish. There are no penalties or extra fees for paying your property off faster.
- What is your refund policy?
- While we expect our customers will perform proper due diligence before their purchase, we understand that on rare occasions the need for a refund will occasionally arise. You have 30 days from the date of your original down payment to request a full refund. To request a refund, you must contact us at [email protected]
- Who gets the mineral, water, gas, etc. rights to the property?
- We do not do any research into mineral, water, gas, or other rights of a property. When we sell a property, any rights we do or do not have will be transferred to you along with the title to the property.
- Can I put an RV on the property? Can I live in an RV on this lot?
- Unfortunately, the County typically does not allow for RV living on these properties. To get more information on whether you can live in an RV on the property, we recommend contacting the county directly.
- Can I put a Mobile Home, or Manufactured Home on the property?
- In many cases, yes. We recommend contacting the county directly for specific land-use and zoning questions. We require that at least 33% of the property be paid for before you begin any major construction on the lot.
- Can I use the property while I make my monthly payments?
- Yes, you may, as long as you obtain the required permits (such as for construction, landscaping, etc.) from the county. Please do note, however, that any improvements made on the property may be forfeited in the event of buyer default. For this reason, we require that at least 50% of the property be paid for before you begin any major construction on the lot.
- How much are property taxes?
- Property taxes on the properties we sell are typically very low. In many cases, the yearly tax bill comes out between $80 - $250 for the entire year. Occasionally, property taxes will fall outside this range. If you have questions about the taxes for a specific property, please contact us at [email protected] with the Parcel Number (found on the property's webpage) and we can let you know what the taxes for the previous year were.
