What Buyers Ask About Bushland
Do Bushland homes have city water and sewer?
Most do not. Many Bushland homes, especially outside the town itself, use a private water well and a septic system. Before you buy, have the well water tested and the septic system inspected, and ask about the well's depth and age. The area is in the High Plains Underground Water District.
Do Bushland neighborhoods have an HOA?
HOA dues are not common in Bushland, but rural subdivisions can still have deed restrictions, so check them for the specific property before you buy.
Is there new construction in Bushland?
Yes. New homes are built in Bushland regularly. When comparing new homes, ask about the builder's warranty, whether the well and septic system are complete and permitted, and whether landscaping and fencing are included.
Which builders are active in Bushland?
Builders currently building new homes here include B&M Amarillo Homes, Gracewood Homes, Meraz Construction and T3 Construction, and others may be building here as well. Each offers its own floor plans, standard features, incentives and warranties, so it is worth comparing a few before you choose.
Should I use my own agent when buying new construction?
Yes. The builder's sales representative works for the builder. Your own agent works for you: comparing builders and floor plans, negotiating price and incentives, reviewing the contract and scheduling independent inspections. New construction is a big part of the Bushland market, so having someone on your side matters.
What are property taxes in Bushland?
