What kind of wetlands?
Cypress tupelo swamp? Saltwater marsh?
Cost can range from $40k-$60k+ per acre depending on type.
If you are only looking at building a single house then the footprint may not be too bad or expensive.
You should probably consult an engineer that specializes in this. Paying him a little bit to get a good realistic cost estimate would be a wise step.
Also, with the new "wetlands determination rules" if you live in the southern half of LA, your property could be classified as a wetland. The more recent regulations on how they count the identifiers were loosened up. I don't like it or agree with it at all.

Its just a hypothetical at this point. I dont own the property. Im not sure what type of wetlands, its in Livingston Parish.
There's some property nearby that sold a while back,but the sale fell through when the wetlands cost was too expensive. I think the prospective buyer was wanting to develop it into commercial or a neighborhood. I was curious if the wetlands cost would be cheaper if a buyer wanted to only build 1 house instead of developing a whole neighborhood. Sounds like it might be too expensive to even pursue.
thanks eveybody for the input.
