| Vacant residential lots | 163 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Patio-home lot (5,000–7,000 sq ft): 42% of vacant lots; next, micro lot at 15%. Median lot: 0.14 acre (6,100 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $30,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $21,000 and $30,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Sharpes [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 38% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often VA, TX, IL) [1] |
| Census place, not a city | The Census Bureau's own boundary lookup names this area Sharpes CDP (GEOID 1265525). It is unincorporated Brevard County, not a city; mail is addressed to Cocoa, but county government, not the City of Cocoa, handles zoning and permits here. [2],[4] |
| Named for an early settler | The community likely takes its name from William H. Sharpe, a trustee who helped build the City Point Community Church near Cocoa in 1885, according to Wikipedia's entry on the area. [3] |
| Built around a rail depot | Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway reached Titusville with a station in 1892, and a depot was later built at Sharpes around 1920 as the line's reach down the Indian River corridor grew. [3] |
| Indian River Lagoon | Census boundary data for Sharpes CDP place its eastern edge against the Indian River Lagoon, the estuary the old rail line and U.S. 1 both run alongside through this stretch of Brevard County. [2],[3] |
| Water and sewer vary by lot | Brevard County Utility Services is the county's provider in unincorporated areas; some Sharpes-area parcels sit on a well and septic system instead. Checking a specific lot is part of our inspection. [5] |
| Septic permits | A new septic system needs a construction permit from the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County before installation, whether or not county sewer eventually reaches the lot. [6] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 67 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| Years of lot supply at the 2025 building pace | 2.4 years; simple ratio, not a forecast. [1] |

What moves the price in Sharpes
No reliable 2025 sale price for this community
Sharpes did not have enough qualifying 2025 vacant-lot sales under the tax roll's arm's-length, single-parcel rule to publish a sale median or price range here. The roll's just-value figures still apply: a median property-appraiser just value of $30,000, with the middle half of parcels between $21,000–$30,000. A just value is a tax-roll valuation, not a sale price or a Parcel Buyers offer, and with so few recent sales to check against, a lot-specific inspection matters more here than in a community with a thick sale history. [1]
Lot size and the lagoon side of the community
Most vacant residential land in this tax-roll scope comes in patio-home lots, 42% of the 163 lots counted here. Census boundary data put the community's east edge against the Indian River Lagoon, the estuary U.S. 1 and the old Florida East Coast rail line both run alongside through this part of Brevard County. A lot's position relative to that water edge, not just its size, changes what a builder will plan around. [1],[2]
Well and septic are common here
Brevard County Utility Services runs the county water and wastewater system in unincorporated areas, but not every Sharpes-area parcel is reached by it, and a well-and-septic setup is common on lots here. A new septic system needs a construction permit from the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County before installation. Whether a lot already has utility access or needs a well and septic system is one of the first things we check before making an offer. [5],[6]
Common situations
Selling land in Sharpes in these situations
You inherited a lot here and never visited it
Yes. You can sell an inherited Sharpes lot you have never seen. The community grew up around a Florida East Coast Railway depot built around 1920, long before many current owners held title, and ownership here has passed through families and out-of-state hands since. Parcel Buyers closes through an independent title company, and the title path determines what paperwork is needed before closing. [3]
You live out of state and have never seen the lot
Yes. You can sell without ever having visited. 38% of the vacant-lot owners in this Sharpes tax-roll scope have a mailing address outside Florida. You can sign electronically, close by mail through an independent, licensed title company, and be paid by check or wire. [1]
The property taxes have fallen behind
Yes. You can still sell if the taxes are behind. Brevard County property taxes are due November 1 and become delinquent after April 30, after which the county holds its annual tax certificate sale; a certificate is not eligible for a tax deed application until two years have passed. Liens or back taxes can be paid from sale proceeds at closing, with your consent. [7],[8]

Questions
Selling land in Sharpes: common questions
Why doesn't this page show a 2025 sale price for Sharpes lots?
Too few vacant Sharpes lots sold in 2025 under the tax roll's arm's-length, single-parcel rule to publish a reliable median or price range. The just-value figures on this page still come from the same 2026 tax roll and are a tax valuation, not a sale price or an offer.
Is Sharpes part of the City of Cocoa?
No. Sharpes is its own Census-designated place in unincorporated Brevard County, confirmed by the Census Bureau's boundary data. Mail here is addressed to Cocoa, but county government, not the city, issues zoning approvals and building permits.
Does a Sharpes lot have county water and sewer?
It depends on the parcel. Brevard County Utility Services runs the county system in unincorporated areas, but some Sharpes-area lots are on a well and septic system instead, and a new septic system needs a Florida Department of Health in Brevard County permit before installation. Our inspection looks at which setup applies to your lot before an offer goes out.
Can I sell a Sharpes lot if I live in another state?
Yes. 38% of vacant-lot owners in this Sharpes scope have an out-of-state mailing address. You can sign electronically and close by mail through an independent title company, with no need to travel here.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Sell Land With Back Taxes in Florida?
Yes. Florida land with back property taxes can often be sold if closing can redeem the tax lien before the tax-deed cutoff. With the seller's consent, the title company can use sale proceeds for the approved payoff. Move quickly: taxes generally become delinquent April 1,[1][2] and redemption ends once a tax-deed buyer makes full payment to the clerk.[4][7]
- 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.

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 in the Brevard County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Sharpes CDP (block groups 120090621063 120090621141), addressed Cocoa; these are 2020 Census CDP boundaries, not city limits - official boundary and name: https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/rest/services/TIGERweb/Places_CouSub_ConCity_SubMCD/MapServer/19/query?where=GEOID%3D%271265525%27&outFields=NAME,GEOID,BASENAME&returnGeometry=false&f=json. Source [1] is our own count of the Florida Department of Revenue's 2026 final 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 30, 2026. The reviewed 2026 recorded-sale window runs from January through August 2026; unreviewed recent sales are excluded. County-level figures are used on this place page.
