Considerations for Bardominium

Country

Buying land is often part of building a barn dominium, as building in developed residential areas can be challenging due to zoning and permits. According to USDA, the average price of agricultural real estate reached $3,380 per acre in 2021. Location also plays a role. In his four states in the eastern United States, the average cost per acre exceeds $12,000. With the exception of  California and Arizona, all  states in the western United States are below the national average, costing some acreage  hundreds of dollars.1

Access

The Bardominium must be accessible from public roads and transports. If there are no roads, then roads must be built.  Asphalt road construction costs an average of $70 to $170 per straight foot. So a quarter mile of paved driveway costs between $92,400 and $224,400. A major reason for the popularity of private gravel roads is their low cost. Expect to pay $14-$25 per straight foot of gravel (assuming 30 feet wide).  Zoning and Permits

Housing developments may not allow the construction of large metal structure barns. Large areas are best for unincorporated areas. In general, the permitting process for barn dominiums is the same as for residential developments. Permitting agencies charge either per square meter or estimated construction costs. You will  also need to submit a building plan consisting of  floor plans, elevations, a basic electrical plan, and often a plumbing plan. A site plan or plan is also required. This allows permitting authorities to see where the barn dominium will be located in relation to  property lines and  easements.  Finally, for metal buildings, you will need to submit blueprints. If you bought the building from a fabricator, they should  send you a stamped and sealed blueprint. utility

Unless the location already has electricity, you will have to pay the power company to bring the cable at a cost of $25 to $50 per foot. A location half a mile behind the property can cost between $67,000 and $132,000 for electricity alone. Installing a septic tank and lye line is relatively inexpensive, averaging about $6,800. If the plot does not have a municipal water supply, a well will have to be dug. The average cost of drilling a well about 100 feet deep is $6,000, but lower water tables  mean deeper wells and higher costs.  Adding the necessary water treatment and purification systems for potable water costs $1,000 to $3,000, not including labor.
