I live in central pa and trying to figure out how I can get a permit to build a new home. My parents own 36 acres of ground and we have 3 different deeds to add up to those 36 acres. The piece of ground I want to build on and the only piece I really can has 2 mobile homes and 1 home on it. So I applied for a sewage permit thought no big deal well its turned out to be a totally mess. For me to even get a perk test they told me all of those homes on that deed have to be up to code. Well my parents baught that ground 26 years ago and they never messed with the sewage so I bet there not up to "Code". We could be looking at a lot of money to update those homes. I then thought of the idea of subdivision but they told me if i subdivide I still have to have those other homes tested. Does anyone have any ideas of anything I could do?
