I am a Florida REALTOR® (SL3247858, brokered through LoKation) and a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1528750). Vacant land raises building questions that a finished house has already answered, and the first thing that changes the answer is the town, because each city, town or village permits its own work. Here is what we added this week, one section per page. None of these pages lists a parcel or a price.
Land in Boynton Beach: which side of the city line?
Boynton Beach is an incorporated city with its own Building Division at City Hall, 100 E. Ocean Avenue, and the bigger tracts sit west of the city limits, where the county permits instead. The page also explains the Lake Worth Drainage District assessment. Read the page →
Land in Delray Beach: does a historic district apply?
Delray Beach has five locally designated historic districts, and a vacant lot inside one can face Historic Preservation Board review of what you build. The City’s Building Division at 100 NW 1st Avenue holds the permit. Read the page →
Land in Jupiter: Town or Jupiter Farms?
Jupiter is an incorporated town with its own Building Department at 210 Military Trail, but much of Jupiter Farms is unincorporated and answers to the county. That line decides who permits your build and whether a private well and septic are likely. Read the page →
Land in Palm Beach Gardens: who approves the build?
Inside the city the City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Division at 10500 N Military Trail permits the work, and communities such as PGA National and Avenir add their own architectural review on top. The page lists what to ask for. Read the page →
Land in Royal Palm Beach: what does the plat say?
Royal Palm Beach has its own Building Division at Village Hall, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, and most of its land was platted into residential lots. The page shows why the recorded plat, not the listing sheet, tells you the real lot size. Read the page →
Land in Wellington: what is the Equestrian Preserve Area?
Wellington permits through the Village rather than the county, and the Equestrian Preserve Area is why buyers ask about land here: its parcels are commonly measured in acres. The page covers the Acme Improvement District that drains much of the village. Read the page →
Land in West Palm Beach: is the lot in a historic district?
West Palm Beach runs its own Development Services Department and Building Division, and in El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park the Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior work too. The page also covers the unincorporated western edge. Read the page →
The rest of the county sits under Real Estate. If you already know the town and want to talk, call (561) 779-3213.
