Rural Land Checklist for Central Utah

Water and access. Find out what water the property has and whether those rights transfer, then confirm there's legal, recorded access. If either one is missing, the rest of the list doesn't matter much.

No. Water rights and irrigation shares can be sold separately from the land. Check the Utah Division of Water Rights records and the irrigation company's books, and make sure the purchase contract says exactly what transfers.

Central Utah Public Health Department handles septic permits and soil testing for these counties. On vacant land, get the soil or perc test done before you count on building.

The well log and septic permit if there are any, water share certificates and water right numbers, the survey, the tax notice, and a list of what's included. Having those ready answers buyers' first questions and keeps the deal moving.
