Improved Land

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Though a building is considered an improvement to land, when we speak of improved land in real estate and in our listings, it's generally land that has certain utilities and services available to it. These would include electricity, telephone, water, sewer, etc.

Mulitple listing service rules differ by area concerning whether all or some portion of these services would allow the land to be listed as improved.
