Red Flags

• do not treat this Minnesota source pass as parcel approval
• verify county and local zoning, building permits, septic, well or public-water availability, DNR public-waters permits, wetlands, shoreland zoning, floodplain zoning, legal access, covenants, easements, lake-association rules, and subdivision restrictions before buying land
