Land Purchase

[Rogue Vondran]

If I purchase a 4096 will my allocated 512 come off it? so it would only be 3584? I don't have a Linden Home and I can deed it too my group? and the land is mine too do as I please?

Think of your 512sqm of free land as a tier allocation in this case.  So you buy 4096sqm meters of land.  You will only have to pay the monthly tier on 3584sqm.  The problem you have is that Land Use Fees are stepped (see table below)  So even with your 512sqm tier allotment, you are going to have to sign up at $25 per month tier to cover your land.  The tier below that at $15 per month would only cover 2560sqm (2048+512)

Land Use Fees come in "hunks". This is from the LAND MANAGER in your account settings:

 

USD 195.00/ month	65,536	Entire Region
USD 125.00/ month	32,768	1/2 Region
USD 75.00/ month	16,384	1/4 Region
USD 40.00/ month	8,192	1/8 Region
USD 25.00/ month	4,096	1/16 Region
USD 15.00/ month	2,048	1/32 Region
USD 8.00/ month	1,024	1/64 Region
USD 5.00/ month	512	1/128 Region
USD 0.00/ month	0	0/128 Region



You get a 512 free and 4096 will cost you $25.00 a month. The land use calculator in the same Land Management Area will tell you what you will pay. Use it to make sure.  There is a slight advantage to deeding it to a group, but in your case it will just leave you with a small amount of "free teir" which you will probably not be using.

 So you will still have 512 leftover to do something with or donate to a group. If you give up that piece of land in the future and go to a 1024 say, you need to come back to this spot and CHANGE YOUR LAND USE or you will be charged even though you are not using it . So put that on a sticky note .

 

There is no advantage to giving up your 512 and if you deed it to your group it STILL counts "against" your free tier.

EDIT: Also when you buy any land parcel (mainland or estate) during the buying process it tells you exactly how buying that parcel will change your teir payments. So you WILL know prior to buying.

Even for 3584 you will need to be on the 4096 tier level, so you could get rid of your linden home, and donate 4096 + 512 to your group and together with the group bonus of 496sqm  this will allow you buy 5104 sqm for your $25 tier fee.

If you don`t find a 5104sqm plot, you can still buy a 4096 on one sim and then buy up smaller plots on the same sim that total 1008sqm and leave them empty, that way all their prims will be available for you to use on the 4096 parcel.
