Hey,

  • Technically there are no rules about building a house near wetlands. You can purchase and build on a wetland as long as they're not jurisdictional. 

  • In certain states, you might need to take permission from the District Collector to build on the wetland. 

  • Certain local, and municipal corporations have placed protection laws on the areas. You will need to get proper permission from each authority before buying the plot. 

Though, I would advise you to consider other plots of land for purchase. Here are a few disadvantages of building on wetlands. 

  • You might experience coastal-based natural disasters like floods. 

  • House foundations on wetlands will get damaged by the water underneath. 

  • You might get stuck in legal loopholes to get permission from authorities. 

  • The land is not as stable as firm plots of land.

If you are purchasing a residential property on wetlands, you should be aware of the risks. This is all from my end on can I build a house on wetlands.
