Sell your vacant lot in Marion County, Florida

If you own a vacant lot in Marion County

You do not have to drive to Ocala or hire anyone. There is no fee to find out what your lot is worth. Tell us where it is. We look it up in the county records ourselves. Then we send you a written offer. You can say no at any time.

We are a small, private Florida company. We put vacant residential land under contract and see it through to closing at a licensed title company. We are not agents. We do not list your lot or sell it for you.

Where the vacant lots are

Marion County sits in north-central Florida. Ocala is at its center. A lot of the county's empty residential land is in a few large subdivisions. These were cut up into small lots and sold off decades ago, often to buyers who never built.

Marion Oaks is in the southwest part of the county. It is a big planned subdivision laid out in the 1970s. It has thousands of roughly quarter-acre home lots. Many owners live out of state and have never seen the lot.

Silver Springs Shores is southeast of Ocala. It is another large mid-century subdivision. It has wide curving streets and a lot of empty lots between the built homes.

Rainbow Lakes Estates and other tracts are scattered around the county.

If you inherited a lot here, or bought one years ago from a land company, you are not unusual. A great many of these lots sit empty.

What a vacant Marion County lot is actually like

Most of these lots are flat and sandy. They are covered in pines, palmetto, or scrub. A common one runs from a quarter of an acre to an acre. A few things change what a lot is worth.

Is the street paved, or is it a graded sand road? Some blocks are fully built. Others are still woods.

Is there water and sewer at the street? Or would a buyer need a well and a septic tank?

Is the lot high and dry? Or is it partly wetland, or in a flood zone?

What does the county allow you to build? Most of these are set for a single home.

You do not need to know all of this to talk to us. We check it in the county file. But knowing it helps you judge any offer, from us or from anyone.

The Marion County tax calendar, worth knowing even if you never sell

Florida runs the same yearly cycle in every county, Marion included. If you own a lot, this is the schedule your bill follows. The Marion County Tax Collector handles it.

Bills are mailed around November 1.

Pay early and you get a discount. It is 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January, 1 percent in February.

Taxes are due by March 31.

Unpaid taxes are late on April 1.

Around June 1, the Tax Collector holds a tax certificate sale on unpaid lots. That does not take your land right away. It starts a clock, and interest builds.

If your lot has back taxes, that is common. It does not stop a sale. Back taxes get paid out of the closing, so you are not writing a check up front. Here is how the whole thing works.

What your lot is worth, and how we price it

We will say this plainly. The price we can offer is below full retail. That is how we stay in business, and we tell you up front. In exchange, there is no fee, no commission, no listing, and no waiting for a buyer to appear.

Want to check the value yourself first? We wrote a plain guide: what is my Florida vacant lot worth. It shows you how to read the county's record and find recent sales, at no cost, with nothing to sign.
