Marne, Iowa

Marne, Iowa, has a population of only 114, though perhaps with the help of this program, it might grow! It’s a great place to settle down if you don’t like busy, bustling places.

If you build a house there that is a minimum of 1,200 square feet, you could get the land it sits on for free!

New Richland, Minnesota

Here’s another minuscule city that really wants to incentivize people to move here. Like in Marne, if you build a house in New Richmond, you could get the land on which you build for free… just be careful that you act and build fast, since there’s a deadline.

In order to get the underlaying land for free you need to build your house within one year of aquiring the land. That means that most, if not all, your finances should be in order before you even decide on the move.
