Owner financing
Can you buy Florida land without a bank?
Yes. Owner financed land lets you buy a parcel directly from the seller with a small down payment and monthly payments, no bank and often no credit check. You hold equitable interest while you pay, and the deed records in your name at payoff. In Putnam and Highlands counties, Golden Ridge Partners sells residential parcels this way for as low as $249 down and $199 a month at 0% interest.
Terms vary by parcel. Buyer pays closing costs. Parcels do not include a survey.
The crew
Every service raw land needs, by county.

The record
Why does every DirtWise parcel show the county record?
Because vacant land is where fraud and bad surprises hide. The FBI reports vacant land fraud complaints rose 500% over four years, and a 2025 National Association of Realtors survey found 62% of title fraud cases involved vacant land. A parcel that shows its county record, flood panel, zoning and soil, with the date each was checked, is a parcel you can verify in ten minutes on the county's own site. We put the links there so you can.
| What we check | Where it comes from | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| County record | County Property Appraiser | Owner of record, parcel ID, acreage, assessed value, last sale |
| Flood zone | FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, panel number and effective date | Whether you will need flood insurance and an elevation certificate |
| Zoning | County zoning GIS and land development code | What you can build, minimum lot size, whether RVs or mobile homes are allowed |
| Soil series | USDA Web Soil Survey | Whether a conventional septic system is likely to pass |

Questions
Questions people ask before buying Florida land
What is DirtWise?
DirtWise is a Florida raw land marketplace. It lists vacant land for sale with the county record, flood zone, zoning and soil attached to every parcel, and a directory of licensed Florida pros who survey, clear, drill, and build on that land. It covers Florida only.
Is DirtWise free to use?
Browsing parcels, county records and the pro directory is free with no account. Owners list land free. Brokers and pros pay for Verified listings. See pricing.
How do I know if Florida land is buildable?
Check four things: zoning (does the county allow a home on this lot size), flood zone (FEMA panel), soil (USDA Web Soil Survey for septic suitability), and legal road access. Every DirtWise parcel shows all four. Full guide coming at /guides/is-my-land-buildable/.
Can I buy land in Florida with owner financing?
Yes. Many rural Florida parcels sell owner financed with a small down payment and monthly payments, no bank. You hold equitable interest during the payment period and the deed records at payoff. See owner financed land.
Which Florida counties have the cheapest land?
Rural North and Central Florida counties such as Putnam, Dixie, Levy and Highlands have the most parcels under $30,000. Price per acre depends on road access, flood zone and zoning more than on the county name. See counties.
Can I live in an RV on my land in Florida?
It depends on the county and the zoning. Some counties allow RV living on agricultural parcels with a permit, most prohibit it on residential lots. See RV friendly land.
