0.60 acres for sale in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida · Available
What the price covers, and what closing costs
- We bring the quiet title action and pay for it, so what you buy is title a company will insure.
- We convey by special warranty deed. That warrants against anything that arose while we owned the parcel — no lien, no mortgage, no easement granted on our watch. It does not warrant the chain before us — that is what the title work above is for.
- Title insurance is yours to place. Use your own title agent, or ask and we will suggest one. We do not take a referral fee either way.
- Special warranty deed — $18.50 to record, $10.00 to notarise
- Certified copy of the final judgment quieting title — $18.50 to record
- Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed — $16.80, at 70 cents per $100 of the price
- A full year's property tax (2026) — $33.36, folded in whole rather than prorated, so it covers you whenever you close
0.60 of an acre of vacant land in Hoods Subdivision, Jacksonville, Duval County. The nearest named place is Fruit Cove, 3 miles away in a straight line, with Orange Park 7 miles off. 2 of the 18 nearest parcels have a building on them. City of Jacksonville zones it RLD-90 (Residential Low Density, 90 ft minimum lot width). It is in FEMA flood zone AE, inside the mapped 1-percent floodplain, so anything habitable has to sit above the base flood elevation. The state classifies the land itself as waste, marsh or submerged, which is the thing to settle before anything else: it is not buildable without state and federal permits.
The area
This lot is inside Jacksonville, which the 2020 census counted at 949,611 residents and 411,541 housing units across 747.3 square miles. The city, not the county, writes the rules here.
Of the 18 parcels drawn on the map above, 2 carry a building, and about 1 of those look like homes. At this census tract's 2.5 people per housing unit that is roughly 3 people living in the view shown. Counted from the county's own parcel records, not estimated from an area.
What those lots are, as the county classifies them: 12 waste land, 3 vacant res < 20 acres, 1 single family.
The wider census tract holds 5,603 people across 2.1 square miles, about 2,716 per square mile — suburban by Florida standards.
Distances, straight-line from the parcel: 2.3 miles to I-295; 1.9 miles to State Hwy 13; 3.0 miles to Fruit Cove, 7.0 miles to Orange Park, 7.4 miles to Fleming Island. Town distances are to the town centre, so the drive is longer.
What you can do with it
Zoned RLD-90. Residential Low Density, 90-foot minimum lot width and 9,900 square foot minimum lot area.
The state classifies the land itself as marsh, swamp or waste land. Whatever the zoning permits on paper, that classification is the thing to resolve first.
We have not verified road access, electric, water or sewer on this parcel, and those decide more than the zoning does. Ask Jacksonville and the utility before you plan anything.
It is in flood zone AE, so anything habitable has to sit above the base flood elevation and a lender will want flood insurance.
Parcel record

| 159016-0100 | |
The county's permanent ID number for this piece of land. Also called an APN or strap number. It never changes, even when the land is sold. For example Give this number to a title company, a surveyor or the county and they will know exactly which parcel you mean - street addresses on vacant land are often wrong or absent. | |
| County | Duval County, FL |
| City of Jacksonville | |
Which government writes the rules for this parcel. Land outside every city is 'unincorporated' and answers to the county. Land inside a city answers to that city. For example Two neighbouring parcels can sit under completely different rules if the city limit runs between them. Always ask the right office - the county cannot permit a city parcel. | |
| 0.603 ac | |
The size of the parcel. Where the county has no recorded acreage we calculate it from the mapped boundary and label it estimated. For example Mapped boundaries and recorded deeds disagree more often than people expect. Only a survey settles the question, and a survey is the buyer's expense. | |

Zoning is the rule the local government has already attached to this land saying what you are allowed to build on it. It is set by the county, or by the city if the parcel is inside city limits, and changing it means applying for a rezoning. For example A parcel zoned for single-family homes can take a house. The same parcel zoned Resource Corridor is intended to stay largely undeveloped. Same dirt, very different plans. | |
| 096 — Waste land, marsh, swamp, dunes or borrow pit | |
A code the Florida Department of Revenue uses to classify how land is being used, for tax purposes. It is not zoning and it does not grant or deny you anything - but it is a strong hint about what the land actually is. For example Code 95 means rivers, lakes and submerged land. Code 96 means marsh, swamp, dunes or waste land. Either one tells you to look very hard before assuming you can build. | |
| Legal access not checked The recorded boundary runs along Eileen Ln for about 153 feet, measured against the Census Bureau's TIGER road centrelines. That is physical adjacency, not a legal right of access: only a title company can tell you whether the right to use the road attaches to this lot. | |
Whether the parcel touches a legally usable road. Land with no legal access is landlocked: you cannot lawfully drive to it without an easement from a neighbour. For example A landlocked parcel can still be worth buying - as an addition to adjoining land you already own - but financing it or building on it is usually not possible. | |
| Power almost certainly at the road Electricity has not been confirmed with the utility for this parcel - that is a phone call, and it is on our list. What can be said from the records is that the county classes 1 of the 18 neighbouring parcels drawn above as a dwelling, so there is almost certainly distribution line at the road. What a connection costs from there depends on the distance to the nearest pole, which only the utility can tell you. | |
Whether electric distribution already runs along the road. Where it does not, the utility will quote you to extend it, and the cost is yours. Nothing here has been confirmed with the utility yet. Where the listing says power is almost certainly at the road, that is read off the county's own records - a neighbouring lot the county classes as a dwelling, or a numbered highway within 400 feet - and it says which. Everywhere else it says not checked rather than guess. For example A quarter mile of new line can run into five figures. Ask the utility for a written estimate before you close, not after. | |
| Not checked | |
Whether a public water main or a public sewer line runs to the street. Where it does not, the parcel needs a private well and a septic system, and septic needs soil that will take it. Where we have not confirmed it either way, we say so rather than guess. For example A septic permit depends on soil type and water table. On wet ground the health department can refuse one outright, which makes a home impossible. | |
| Sewer | Not checked |
| Water utility for this area | JEA (PWS FL2161328) This parcel falls inside that utility's reported service area. That names who to ask; it is not a statement that a main runs to the lot. |
| Our ranking | 39 out of 100 In its favour: it is priced below what comparable sales say; fronts Eileen Ln; no back tax is owed on it. Against it: the state classes the land itself as waste, marsh or submerged; it is in flood zone AE. This is our own ranking of the parcels against each other on what the record shows, not a valuation and not a substitute for looking at the land. |
| AE | |
The FEMA flood zone mapped over this parcel. Zone X is outside the mapped 1-percent floodplain. Zones beginning with A or V are inside it. For example In an A or V zone a lender will require flood insurance, and a habitable building has to be elevated above the base flood elevation - which adds real cost to construction. | |
| None mapped | |
The share of the parcel mapped as wetland. Wetlands are regulated by the state and by the Army Corps of Engineers, and filling or building on them needs permits that are slow, expensive and often refused. For example A 5-acre parcel that is 80 percent wetland may have well under an acre of usable ground, and the buildable part may be in the wrong place for a driveway. | |
| No recorded declaration foundDuval's official records index cannot be searched by parcel or by legal description, and its name and document-type searches cannot be driven from outside its own interface, so the county-wide sweep that answered this in Volusia and Putnam is not available here. What was checked is every book and page in this parcel's sales history, looked up directly in the clerk's index: DEED at OR 20849/1897 (2023-10-24). No declaration of covenants appears among them. These lots were platted in Jacksonville long before community associations were usual, and nothing in the chain suggests one. It is not the same as a title search, and a document recorded against an earlier owner would not show up here. Checked 2026-11-08. | |
Whether a homeowners association has authority over this parcel, and what it charges. An HOA can restrict what you build, and its dues run with the land. An HOA needs a recorded declaration of covenants to exist at all, so what matters is whether one is indexed against the parcel. "No recorded declaration found" means the clerk's official-records index was searched and nothing came back; it is not the same as a title search, and that index does not reach back before April 1988. For example Searching Florida's corporate registry is a start, not an answer. Six active Florida associations are called Magnolia Manor, in different counties, so a name match proves nothing - and a dissolved association can leave covenants that still run with the land. Only the recorded declaration tied to this plat settles it. | |

What this parcel is taxed each year. Marked verified, the figure is the county's own - the property appraiser's tax table or the TRIM notice - and it includes any non-ad-valorem assessment. Marked estimated, we multiplied the certified taxable value by the published millage for this parcel's tax district and showed the arithmetic, because an unexplained number is not evidence; those cover ad valorem only. For example Taxes usually rise after a sale, because the sale resets the assessed value to roughly what you paid. And watch the non-ad-valorem line: stormwater, garbage and fire assessments are charged per parcel rather than on value, so on a cheap lot they can be most of the bill - one parcel here is taxed $5,686 on value and another $1,610 on top of it in assessments. | |
| $1,890 | |
The value the tax is calculated on, after any assessment caps. It is not what the land would sell for, and it is usually well below market. For example Florida caps annual assessment increases on non-homestead property at 10 percent for everything except school levies, so the school taxable value is often the higher of the two. | |

How the current owner got title, and the deed that did it. A warranty deed is the ordinary one, where the seller guarantees the title. A tax deed comes from the county auctioning land for unpaid taxes. A quit claim transfers whatever interest the signer had, with no guarantee that they had any. A special warranty deed guarantees only the years the seller owned it, not the whole chain. For example The deed type decides how easy the land is to insure and finance, which often matters more than the land itself. Give the book and page to a title company and they can tell you in an afternoon. | |

The legal description is the words in the deed that define the land - lot and block in a recorded subdivision, or a metes-and-bounds description, or a section-township-range call. For example 'Lot 9, Block 90, Interlachen Lakes Estates' identifies a specific platted lot. The legal description, not the acreage or the address, is what actually gets conveyed. | |
What this zoning means
Residential Low Density, 90-foot minimum lot width and 9,900 square foot minimum lot area.
Written in plain English from City of Jacksonville’s own classification name. Permitted uses are set by ordinance and they change; only the planning department that writes them can tell you what you may build here.
Before you offer
Classified DOR 96 - waste land, marsh, swamp, dunes or borrow pit. Not buildable without state and federal permits, and those permits are slow, expensive and often refused.
Inside the mapped floodplain. Building requires elevation above base flood, and a lender will require flood insurance.
We provide quiet title on this parcel. Ask us for the terms before you offer - that is the single thing that decides what tax-deed land is worth, and we would rather settle it in writing than leave you to find out. The current owner took title by tax deed, recorded 10/11/2023 at OR book/page 20849 / 1897, and we found that deed in the county clerk's own index of official records. A Florida tax deed conveys the county's interest and it is good title; what it is not, on its own, is title a company will insure, and without a policy most lenders will not finance a purchase. How much work that takes turns on the deed's age. One national underwriter's Florida bulletin asks for a quiet title judgment on a tax deed recorded less than four years ago, and on one recorded four years or more ago accepts a recorded affidavit of possession and a title search instead, relying on sections 95.191 and 95.192 of the Florida Statutes. This one is not past that line yet - the deed was recorded 3.1 years ago, so a court action is the route, and that is the one we run. Underwriters differ and the one your title company uses sets its own terms, so confirm it with them. One thing no tax deed clears, at any age: governmental liens, recorded covenants and restrictions, some easements, mineral rights, federal tax liens and association assessments all survive it. Where we have found any of those on this parcel they are disclosed on this page. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
We have not confirmed these for this parcel and we are not going to claim either way. Utility availability and legal access are the two things most likely to decide whether a vacant lot is worth buying - ask us and we will find out, or confirm it yourself with the utility and the county before you close.
