|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Micro lot (2,000–5,000 sq ft): 79% of vacant lots; next, patio-home lot at 13%. Median lot: 0.10 acre (4,360 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $35,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $35,000 and $35,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Barefoot Bay [1] |
| Indian River pier | Barefoot Bay's district history records a 776-foot fishing pier over the Indian River. Brevard County's floodplain rules require a permit for construction near the lagoon system, so lagoon-edge flood review matters for land here. [2],[9] |
| Recreation district | Barefoot Bay is an unincorporated, deed-restricted manufactured-home community governed for recreation services by the Barefoot Bay Recreation District, not a city government. [2],[3] |
| Subdivision history | Gulf Acceptance Corporation bought the original 1,000 acres in 1968. The clubhouse opened in June 1971, early amenities included a 9-hole golf course and two connecting lakes, and the recreation district was chartered in 1984. [2] |
| Improved-parcel assessment | District policy places the annual non-ad valorem assessment on improved residential parcels. The FY2026 fee sheet lists the 2025 assessment as $1,001.17, not a blanket vacant-lot fee. [3],[4] |
| Closing membership charge | The district says a buyer owes a one-time social-membership fee at closing. The FY2026 schedule totals $1,605, including sales tax, and the district provides estoppels without charge. [5],[4] |
| County utilities | Brevard County publishes separate Barefoot Bay water, sewer and reclaimed-water rates. Bills issued on or after October 1, 2026 use a $51.62 monthly residential sewer base charge after a 5.15% rollback under Resolution 2026-003. [7] |

What moves the price in Barefoot Bay
District rules come before a manufactured-home plan
District rules come before a manufactured-home plan because Barefoot Bay is a deed-restricted community, not just a postal place. The district's history traces the community to a 1,000-acre purchase in 1968, and current records show an Architectural Review Committee. Brevard County issues permits in unincorporated areas. A buyer therefore needs to read the recorded restrictions and confirm the county permit path before treating a small parcel as ready for a replacement home. [2],[6],[8]
The district charges improved parcels and new members differently
The district charges improved parcels and incoming owners under different rules. Its policy manual places the yearly non-ad valorem assessment on improved residential parcels, and the FY2026 schedule lists the 2025 amount as $1,001.17. That is not a blanket charge on every vacant lot. Separately, the district says a buyer owes a one-time social-membership fee at closing; the same schedule totals it at $1,605 including tax. A free district estoppel shows balances and closing charges for the actual parcel. [3],[4],[5]
Small recorded lots still need usable area
Small recorded lots still need enough usable area for the allowed home and utility connections. In this property-address scope, 79% of the 61 vacant residential parcels are micro lots, and the median size is 0.10 acre. Those tax-roll measures do not prove that an old pad, driveway, setbacks or utility laterals comply with current requirements. Recorded restrictions, the county permit and title work each answer a different part of the build question. [1],[8],[6]
Water, sewer and lagoon drainage affect carrying cost
Brevard County's current Barefoot Bay sheet says bills issued on or after October 1, 2026 reflect a 5.15% rollback. It lists a $51.62 monthly residential sewer base charge and a $23.97 base charge for a standard water meter. District history also records internal lakes and a pier over the Indian River. A shutoff, old service or vacant record does not establish what work a new home will need, so utility status belongs in the offer review. [7],[2],[10]
Common situations
Selling land in Barefoot Bay in these situations
The manufactured home is gone but the lot remains
Yes. You can sell the lot after a manufactured home has been removed. The remaining parcel may still have an old pad, driveway, utility service or district record, but those items do not guarantee approval for a replacement unit. Parcel Buyers checks access, utilities and title. Brevard County handles the construction permit, while district deed restrictions remain separate. We buy vacant lots with no water, sewer or road work, subject to our land inspection. [8],[2],[7]
You inherited a deed-restricted parcel
Yes. You can sell an inherited deed-restricted parcel. The district requires membership when title is recorded and provides an estoppel showing the seller's balance and buyer charges. The title company can request that record, determine which estate papers are needed and handle approved liens or back taxes from sale proceeds with the seller's consent. You do not need to guess at district balances before asking for an offer. [3],[5]
You live outside Florida
Yes. You can sell the parcel from outside Florida. Electronic signing and a mail-away closing are available through an independent, licensed title company, and payment can be made by check or wire. Closing is typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title and district records, and there are no fees or commissions. [5]

Questions
Selling land in Barefoot Bay: common questions
Is Barefoot Bay a city or a deed-restricted community?
Barefoot Bay is an unincorporated, deed-restricted manufactured-home community. Brevard County handles building permits, while the Barefoot Bay Recreation District manages recreation facilities, membership and its district assessment. Those are separate layers of review, not one city permit office.
Does the district assessment apply to every vacant lot?
No. The district policy manual states that the annual non-ad valorem assessment is imposed on improved residential parcels. The FY2026 fee sheet lists the 2025 assessment at $1,001.17. A district estoppel and the current tax bill show the charges tied to one parcel.
What district fee does a Barefoot Bay buyer pay at closing?
The district says the buyer pays a one-time social-membership fee at closing. Its FY2026 schedule lists $1,500 plus $105 sales tax, or $1,605 total. The district asks for an estoppel near closing and says it returns completed requests within 24 business hours without a fee.
Does a Barefoot Bay lot have public water and sewer?
Brevard County operates the published Barefoot Bay water and sewer rate area, but a vacant lot still needs a service check. The rate sheet does not prove that an old meter or lateral is present, usable or paid.
Can I sell a Barefoot Bay lot without district approval first?
Yes. You can sell without first obtaining approval for a future manufactured home. A later building plan may need a county permit and must account for the district's recorded restrictions. The sale still requires title work and the district's membership and estoppel process at closing.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- How to Sell Land During a Divorce
Florida land can be sold during a divorce when the people with authority to convey title sign and the sale follows every applicable agreement and court order. Divorce law may treat land as marital even when only one spouse appears on the deed.[1][2] If ownership, signing authority, or the division of proceeds is unsettled, have a Florida attorney and the closing title company resolve those issues before closing.
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?
Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]

How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Tax-roll figures cover parcels whose property address city is Barefoot Bay. Source [1] is our own count of the Florida Department of Revenue's 2026 preliminary property tax roll: "vacant residential" means land-use code 000; lot sizes use the land square footage on the roll; values are the county property appraiser's just (market) value as of January 1, 2026; sale prices count only arm's-length sales of a single lot that was vacant when it sold and was still vacant on January 1, 2026 (bulk and multi-parcel deeds removed). Page updated October 8, 2026. The reviewed 2026 recorded-sale window runs from January through May 2026; unreviewed recent sales are excluded. County-level figures are used on this place page.
