What buying and holding land actually looks like in specific parts of Ilocos Sur, written from LandMaster's own base in Magsingal rather than from national-level generalities that do not hold up once you get down to a specific municipality. Vigan's UNESCO heritage-zone building restrictions get their own real treatment here, the one genuinely unique local factor that changes what a buyer inside the historic core can build or renovate. Other municipalities carry their own local practice on zoning, agricultural classification, and typical lot sizes, and this category is where that province-specific detail lives, not folded into generic national content.
