Looking for a spot for a permanent homesite in Florida? This 1.08-acre lot on Dorcas Road provides a straightforward setup for a new home and has room for a shop or storage building. The property features paved road access and power lines are already established at the street.
The land is dry with no flood zones or wetlands to work around. Zoning is flexible, allowing for site-built houses, modular homes, manufactured homes, or barndominiums.
What are the restrictions? The main requirement is a minimum 1,000-square-foot home size. If you are looking at manufactured homes, you will need a double-wide or one of the bigger single-wides (typically 16' x 76') to meet square footage threshold. Also, your house has to be build to Florida building codes. If it were me, I would build a 2,500 square-foot house plus a big equipment shed for my boat and ATV. There is plenty of room.
Also, Jackson County does not currently charge impact fees on building permits. In many Florida counties, those fees can add $10,000 to $20,000 to your construction costs before you even break ground. Florida is known for "low taxes," but the state usually collects its share through various fees—choosing a county without impact fees is one of the few ways to keep your actual build costs down.
