I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on finding out how much it would
cost to raise a parcel of land, without having to pay too much just to
find out. I'm considering trying to build a house, and there's a
particular piece of land I like. However, it currently lies in a flood
plain (and thus can't get a building permit) and would need to have fill
brought in to raise it (at least in some parts of the parcel) by
probably 4-5 feet or so. I would consider doing this, but would need
some estimate of what it would cost. Preferably, I'd like to avoid
paying hundreds of dollars just to find out that it would be so
expensive that I'd rather buy something else.


My advice:


If hundreds of dollars are already an issue then pass.
