Municipal conditions and restrictions

Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.

  • Purchase intent required for rental occupancy (rental-only occupancy not permitted)

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
