Florida at a glance for landowners
- Deeds are recorded with the county clerk of the circuit court.
- Florida has 67 counties.
- Recorded sale prices are generally searchable at the county level.
- Water law is riparian: owners of land touching a stream or lake have reasonable-use rights, sometimes with permits.
- Florida has no broad state income tax (federal rules still apply).
Where Florida land sells
Fastest in and around Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Myers. Counties owners ask about most: Polk, Marion, Lee, Charlotte, Citrus, Highlands, and Putnam. Remote parcels, far from a paved road, power or water, get a different review than lots on the edge of town.
Regional markets across Florida
- Panhandle and Big Bend: Timber, farm and hunting land across the Panhandle and Big Bend, much cheaper per acre than the peninsula.
- Central Florida: Citrus, cattle and pine land along the I-4 corridor from Orlando through Polk and Marion counties, steadily converting to subdivisions.
- Interior South Florida: Hendry, Glades and Highlands counties’ ranch and agricultural land, where flood zones, canals and water-management rules are central to any purchase.
Florida land we review
Platted interior lots in Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, Palm Bay, and the Marion County subdivisions, ranch and timber land in the Heartland counties, wetland and conservation-adjacent parcels, and buildable lots in the fast-growing I-4 corridor.
What affects the value of Florida land
Older platted lots in the interior subdivisions are cheap and plentiful; buildable lots in the growth corridors and near the coasts have risen sharply.
Selling land in Florida: transfer taxes and land-tax rules
Florida's documentary stamp tax on deeds is 70 cents on each $100 of the consideration, and where the full consideration is not shown on the deed it is figured on the full amount, including money paid, the discharge of an obligation and the amount of any mortgage assumed (Fla. Stat. 201.02). On a $100,000 sale that is $700. Ask your title or closing agent for the exact figure.
Florida land values: what USDA data shows
USDA measured average farm real estate (all land and buildings on farms) in Florida at $9,150 per acre in 2026, up 32% from $6,920 in 2022. That ranks Florida 12 of the 48 states USDA reports, and it is 2.0 times the U.S. average of $4,500.
Pasture (grazing land), the closest USDA series to undeveloped rural land, averaged $7,650 per acre in 2026, up 32% since 2022 and above the U.S. pasture average of $2,000.
These are averages across working farms and ranches, not asking prices for any one parcel. A homesite near a town, a lot with road and power, or a parcel with water can sell well above these figures, and remote land with no access can sell well below them. Use them to see which way the market is moving and how it compares with the next state over, then check recent sales and current listings for the area you are looking at.
For comparison, USDA farm real estate averages per acre in the bordering states:
- Georgia: $4,950 per acre in 2026 (46% lower)
- Alabama: $4,250 per acre in 2026 (54% lower)
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a cash offer for my Florida land?
Fill out the form on this page with the parcel's address or APN and acreage. We review it and reply with an offer, or a clear reason we cannot make one.
What land do you review in Florida?
Mostly platted interior lots in Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, Palm Bay, and the Marion County subdivisions, ranch and timber land in the Heartland counties, and wetland and conservation-adjacent parcels, with a focus on Polk and Marion and the surrounding area. Unusual parcels are welcome; the form has room for details.
Are land sale prices public in Florida?
Generally yes: recorded transfers are searchable at the county level, so comparable sales can be checked.
Who records the deed when I sell land in Florida?
The county clerk of the circuit court. A title or escrow company normally handles it at closing.

No agent commission when you sell directly to us. Normal closing costs still apply.
How much is the Florida deed tax when I sell land?
The documentary stamp tax on a deed is 70 cents per $100 of consideration (Fla. Stat. 201.02). The consideration includes any mortgage assumed, so the tax is figured on the full price.
How much does land cost in Florida?
USDA reports farm real estate in Florida averaging $9,150 per acre in 2026, against $4,500 for the United States. That is an agricultural average; vacant lots, land near towns and land with water or utilities price differently, so compare current listings for the area you want.
