This was one acre with a 1998 three-bedroom mobile home that nobody had lived in for more than ten years, an old well and an old septic system. The power was off. Nobody could say whether any of it still worked, and on an old homesite that is the whole question.
We asked the county instead of guessing. The building department told us Liberty County began charging a $2,500 impact fee on new homes in October 2025, and that a home already standing on the lot excuses the fee when it is replaced, as long as a dated photo is filed before it comes down. They also told us a mobile home needs no demolition permit and that zoning allows another one there.
Then we paid Liberty County Environmental Health to inspect the septic. The inspector found no evidence the system had failed, and also found pine trees five to ten years old growing over it and pine straw filling the open cells of what is an aquatic-plant system. The records request turned up the original 1997 permit: a 1,000 gallon tank and 438 sq ft of drain lines in a built-up mound.
We handed all of it to the buyer as records, not promises. It closed in April 2026.
Five months later the lot had a new home on it. A 2026 four-bedroom, three-bath manufactured home of 2,128 sq ft went on the market in August and sold in September 2026: the replacement home the county told us zoning allowed.
The diligence file as it stood at closing, including anything still open.
Per the MLS record (GAMLS #10819962): a new 2026 manufactured home, 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, 2,128 sq ft, on the one-acre lot. Listed August 5, 2026, pending August 13, sold September 19, 2026. See the listing on Zillow.
Georgia DPH On-Site Sewage Performance Evaluation 033581, March 6, 2026, Liberty County. Inspection records exist; no evidence of system failure. Adverse conditions: overgrown with pine trees about 5 to 10 years old, and the open treatment cells of this aquatic system are full of pine straw with no aquatic plants. The county states there is no guarantee the system will keep working. Inspector's note: the property looks vacant for 10+ years.
Final field approval, permit 97242, final inspection April 23, 1997: single-family residence on a private well, one 1,000 gallon tank, approved for 750 gallons a day, 438 sq ft of drain lines 18 in deep, in a fill area 24 in high, 60 by 40 ft. Installed by the owner.
Liberty County building department, February 20, 2026: new homes pay a $2,500 impact fee since October 2025. A dwelling standing on the lot as of that date excuses it when replaced, provided a dated photo of the existing home is emailed in before removal.
Same call: a mobile home needs no demolition permit (the county wants proof of removal later), and zoning allows another mobile home. A replacement in about the same spot can keep the address. Septic is sized by bedrooms, so a bigger home may need the county to confirm the system is big enough.
Not tested. The county inspects a well for $50 but needs power at the pump, and the power was off. Left for the buyer.
The deed's legal description reads 1.00 acre; tax records and parcel data say 0.97.
