Deal-breakers to check near Florence
Start with access for a parcel near Florence: make sure the ground near St. Florian reaches a public road, or that a recorded easement reaches it.

Ask the county or town office in St. Florian what permits a homesite would need, before you make an offer.
Reaching owners of land near St. Florian
