Anyone know what the term "perked" means in relation to a land purchase? Thanks!

Re: real estate question

do you mean a "Perc" test (Percolation Test) of the soil for a proposed septic system?

I don't know... Here's what it says:

"Build your dream home on this perked 1.5 acre lot" There are several other ads for land in the same area that use the same term. I'm clueless!

Well a perc test is a test of the soil to determine if it will absorb and drain water adequately to use a septic system for sewage disposal.

So I *believe* that if the land is "perked" then it has passed and has an approved percolation test. Clearing you to build on the land.
