1. Electricity Installation Costs

The cost to bring electricity to undeveloped land depends on the distance from existing power sources and the method of installation 

• Overhead Lines: Installing overhead electrical lines can range from $2,500 to $12,500, or approximately $5 to $25 per linear foot.  
• Underground Lines: Underground installations are more expensive due to trenching and materials, with costs varying based on soil conditions and distance.  
• Additional Costs: Factors such as the need for utility poles, transformers, and permits can add to the overall expense. ​
  

2. Water and Sewage Systems

Access to water and sewage services is essential, and the costs differ based on the availability of municipal connections 

• Connecting to Municipal Water: If available, connecting to city water lines can cost between $1,000 and $6,000, depending on the distance and local fees.  
• Well Installation: Drilling a private well ranges from $3,000 to $15,000, with costs influenced by depth, soil type, and equipment 
• Septic Systems: Installing a septic system can vary widely
  • Basic Systems: Approximately $3,500 to $8,500.  
  • Advanced Systems: For areas with challenging soil conditions, costs can reach up to $25,000. ​ 

3. Additional Utilities and Considerations

Other utilities and factors to consider include: 

• Natural Gas: Connecting to existing gas lines typically costs between $500 and $2,000. If lines are not nearby, installing a propane tank may be an alternative, with costs ranging from $700 to $5,700. 
• Internet and Cable: Extending these services to remote areas can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $20,000, depending on the distance from existing infrastructure.  
• Permits and Inspections: Obtaining necessary permits and undergoing inspections can add $500 to $2,000 or more to the total cost.
