There is no VAT on the sale of agricultural land first off.

When you say a water utility, what do you mean?? If it is the village water supply they will not connect you, you option is to have a borehole drilled to draw water. Normally you would need a permit to draw water, but many just drill and use.

You need to consider a well for your sewerage since it must go somewhere?

Usually you can get away with a 'lyomeno', without too much trouble.

Good luck.

Not that I have heard of yet. It wasn't a ban, it was a ban of any applications (until 30/4/20), building on agricultural land is at present always a no, depending as I stated before.

Given the problems we are facing with the virus I doubt they are even thinking about this right now! We shall see. As soon as I hear I will let you know.

As I’m considering something similar I’m wondering where did you go with your plan?
As far as I’m aware you can bring mobile home(leomeno) and live in it. Connecting to water would depend of the Muktari of the area and for electricity it’s way too much hassle. It’s cheaper to install solar and generator system.
I’m looking at a agricultural land that has some illegal building started, but not finished. I’m wondering if I finish it and start living in there what issues I can face? I understand I won’t get tittle deeds for the building, but it doesn’t really concern me. The only thing is to get permission to get water meter and to get connected to the water, but borehole(well) or those lorries that deliver water could be alternative way to supply water for washing. The plot has frontage of registered path, that I believe is the same as registered road with difference is that it’s a dirt road... or I’m wrong?
