Delaware marsh cottage purchase clauses

Buying a marsh cottage in Delaware means grappling with fragile ecosystems and state wetlands law. Purchase clauses frequently include floodplain disclosures, limits on septic systems, and prohibitions against filling wetlands. Because marsh access roads are prone to flooding, contracts may include disclaimers about county maintenance. Some clauses address mosquito control easements granted to local authorities. These details protect buyers from assuming ordinary suburban services apply in marsh settings. In reality, the marsh dictates its own contract terms, and buyers ignore them at their peril.
