Data as of October 18, 2026. These county-wide aggregates help you frame expectations; they do not price your parcel. Individual parcels vary widely with access, flood zone, wetlands and zoning.

Why we publish lot prices, not per-acre figures
"Per acre" sounds precise and usually is not. On small lots the price per acre swings wildly - a 1-acre homesite often sells for far more per acre than a 5-acre tract next door, because buyers pay for the usable parcel, not the acre count. A county's median lot price for a defined size range is the more honest number, so that is what we track.
Why prices vary so much
Two lots in the same county can sell worlds apart. The big drivers: legal road access (or lack of it), flood zone, wetlands coverage, and zoning - what you are allowed to build or do. That is why our county guides walk through the official sources for each check: for example Marion, Volusia, Lee and Pasco, with the rest linked from the Florida guide and selling guide.
What these numbers are not
Not an appraisal, not an offer, not a promise of what your parcel would bring. They are county-wide aggregates of past sales in a defined size and price band. A parcel with road frontage and high-and-dry uplands can beat its county median by a wide margin; a landlocked or mostly-wetland parcel can sit far below it.
Methodology
Market data from Abundant Land Group's proprietary analysis of county sales records, updated monthly. As of October 18, 2026. Figures cover land sales of about 1 to 5 acres in a $1,000 to $250,000 price range, with month-level sale dates and exact duplicate records removed; some improved parcels may be included. Medians are published only where at least 5 recent sales exist. These are county-wide figures, not an appraisal or an offer for any parcel.
Common questions about Florida land prices
How much is an acre of land in Florida?
For typical vacant lots of about 1 to 5 acres, county median sold prices ranged from about $24,500 in Putnam County to about $232,500 in Palm Beach County as of October 18, 2026. Per-acre math misleads on small lots - a 1-acre lot rarely sells for one-fifth of a 5-acre lot - so this table tracks median lot prices instead of per-acre figures.
Which Florida county has the lowest land prices?
In our latest analysis, Putnam County had the lowest median sold price for typical lots at about $24,500 (385 sales analyzed, as of October 18, 2026). Low county medians often reflect smaller lots, wetland mix or limited access - check any specific parcel on its own records.
How often is this land price data updated?
Monthly. The table always carries its as-of date, and counties with fewer than 5 recent sales are left out rather than published on thin samples.
Is this an appraisal of my land?
No. These are county-wide aggregates, not an appraisal or an offer for any parcel. Individual parcels vary widely with road access, flood zone, wetlands and zoning - our county guides list the official sources to check each one.
