From the previous articles, you now have a basic introduction into some common factors to consider before building your own house, especially what your casual decisions amount to in the long run.
Depending on where you live or plan to put up your house, you will encounter a number of obligations owed to the authorities, both national and especially local. Some obligations are just guidelines to follow as you go about building your own house while others are monetary requirements that you will have to pay in order for you to be permitted to construct your own house.
Most of the said guidelines are restrictive rules on what extents for example that your house cannot go past. A good example is the building line, an extent beyond which your house cannot go as relation to road or other such infrastructure. There are also rules on how high a house can go in a particular setting as well as what kind of development can go to a particular area. Some areas are usually set aside purely residential while others are meant for industrial purposes only. It will be hard and even costly to change the intended use of a particular parcel of land. You will note that the same measure of water for example, attracts a higher rate in industrial areas as opposed to residential areas.
Monetary requirements are usually accompanied by services by these bodies, for example fees for the approval of building designs while others are fixed amounts payable by law. A good example here is the land rate, an annual payment by every land owner. Taxes and fines are also significant amounts of money that you will need to bear in mind. There are also costs you will incur while following construction by laws. These do not in any way add a single brick to your intended building. An example here is the requirement to put up and maintain hoarding around your building. Other such cost is like charges per every cubic meter of water drawn from your well or for disposing your waste to the public ฝากขายทาวน์เฮ้าส์ sewer line. Fines are payable for defaulting statutory bylaws. The thing with fines is that a little requirement can cost you even more than two-fold the normal charge or the inconvenience of discontinued services.
But statutory requirements should not be taken in a negative manner. These are either meant to safeguard the interests of the general public or to make sure that the services keep running smoothly. Think of uncollected garbage spilling over the bin at your front door! They may not even be justifiable at times, but as long as they are being paid by everyone else, why not, then, give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar?
In the next article, we look at the common sources of funds for building your house.
