Have advised you accordingly
Farm house or farm building means a house attached to a farm and constructed in a portion of agricultural land used for the residence of the agriculturist or used for the purpose of keeping agricultural equipment and tethering cattle.
The house shall be used by the farmer for his own use and it .
The farm building or farm house so erected shall not be more than 10% of one's holding subject to maximum of such extent of land as may be prescribed.'
The farm house should be for the personal use only or for the benefits of family members, dependents and servants.
Additionally G+1 floor is allowed in the farm house.
For local rules, you may visit the jurisdictional land revenue department for more clarity.
- As per law, an agricultural land cannot be used for residential purposes, and you cannot construct a house on agricultural land for residing.
- However you can construct farm house or temporary structure on agriculture land with the permission of the local authority/panchayat
- Generally to build farm house 4 % of total area allowed, and showing that you will keep your farm equipment, livestock, and needful things..
- You can apply before the Collector for converting the land into NA
Dear Client,
In NA, land cannot be converted unless it is in a R zone. various rules apply to various zones. Additionally, there are various NA. See the local architectural or collector's office to ensure you are guided appropriately. Your land may already be under sale if it is a part of a plot that has been developed with roads. Applying to SDO is the process for converting land from agricultural to non-agricultural use. They will notify you of the formal fee that has to be paid once your application has been verified. To lessen tampering with land papers, the Maharashtra government began uploading all land data in the 2015–2016 timeframe, including specifics regarding sales and resale.
In Maharashtra, you have to abide by these rules if you want to build on agricultural property. If you are constructing one or more farms for agricultural use, the built-in building area shall not exceed 150 square feet in the event that the land area is less than 0.6 hectares.
Hope this answer proves beneficial to you.
