| Town charter traces to 1961 | Chapter 61-2056, Laws of Florida, created the Town of Davie. The current charter says the municipal government continues under that 1961 law. [2] |
| Who reviews a house permit | Since January 12, 2026, the Building Division takes permit requests only through its online OAS system, then routes the uploaded plans to review. Filling a lot, or changing its ground elevation, also needs an engineering permit first. [3],[4] |
| Rural homesite minimums | A February 2025 staff report lists current AG rules: 43,560 square feet, 150 feet of width, and at most 18% building coverage. A 2026 R-1 file cites 35,000 square feet of net dry land and a one-home-per-acre land-use cap. [7],[8] |
| Where a horse is allowed | Ordinary house districts do not allow horses. In RR, AG, A-1, and R-1, livestock needs at least 35,000 square feet. A shelter of up to three 12-by-12 stalls must stand 40 feet from the next parcel, the road, or a building. [10] |
| Water and sewer are split | Several utilities serve the town, and the address picks the provider. Inside the town utility area, the published tap is $3,050 for water and $2,920 for sewer, $5,970 combined, sized at 350 gallons a day per home. [13],[14] |

| Stormwater on a bare lot | Fiscal year 2026 imposed $60 per equivalent stormwater unit on developed property. The September 14, 2026 notice proposed that same $60 for the year opening October 1, 2026. A vacant lot with no building is usually not billed unless it has hard surfaces. [18],[19] |

What moves the price in Davie
Rural rules decide the house and the horse
Rural rules, not a shoreline, decide what vacant land in Davie can become. Ordinance 2002-35, adopted October 16, 2002, put rural-lifestyle standards on AG, A-1, and R-1 land. Those rules cover the area designated for one house per acre. A February 2025 report states current AG standards as 43,560 square feet, 150 feet of lot width, and no more than 18 percent under roof. R-1 estate lots need 35,000 square feet of net dry land and 125 feet of frontage. Horses stay in RR, AG, A-1, and R-1, and only on 35,000 square feet or more. The path network, underway since 1986, runs more than 165 miles, paved and unpaved, and new projects are asked to fill missing trail links. [10],[9],[7],[8],[11],[12]
The tap fee and the septic permit are not the same bill
The utility on the street changes what a builder spends before a wall goes up. The town map shows several water and sewer providers, and the address selects among them. A 2019 town summary named Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Sunrise, Ferncrest Utilities, and the town itself, and said many homes were still on septic tanks. Sunrise serves areas it began supplying in the 1970s, before they were annexed into the town. Inside the town utility area, the published connection charge is $3,050 for water and $2,920 for wastewater, $5,970 together, using 350 gallons a day as one home. Where no sewer exists, the Broward health department permits a septic tank: $100 when the plans are filed, $260 for the permit, and $165 if department staff do the site evaluation. Two nearby micro lots on different utilities can face different costs. [13],[15],[14],[16],[17]
Canals, a higher floor, and a bill that skips most bare lots
Drainage rules add cost even when a bare lot owes no stormwater line. Inside the Central Broward Water Control District, the lowest floor must sit 18 inches over the road crown and also meet the base-flood elevation. FEMA lists community 120035, map effective July 31, 2024, CRS Class 7: a 15 percent flood-insurance cut in a special flood hazard area and 5 percent outside it. Fiscal year 2026 imposed $60 per stormwater unit on developed property, using 4,882 square feet of hard surface as one unit. The September 14, 2026 notice proposed the same $60 for the next year. A vacant lot with no building usually skips that line unless pavement is already there. [4],[5],[6],[18],[19]
Micro lots and acreage did not sell as one product
Recent vacant-land sales do not cluster at one price, because the lots are not one product. In 2025, 19 single-parcel, arm's-length transfers of land that stayed empty into 2026 had a median of $700,000. Leaving out the cheapest quarter and the dearest quarter, the rest fell in $335,000–$1,002,500. The size mix is just as split. Among 567 vacant residential lots, the size class that shows up most often is the micro lot, at 23%, while the median lot is 0.25 acres (10,880 square feet). Tax just value is a third number: a median of $158,600, with the central band at $105,600–$449,200. It is an assessment, not a cash price. The acreage cap, a sewer tap or a septic permit, and the flood-floor height are what move an offer off that median. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Davie in these situations
You hold acreage and never put a house on it
You can sell rural acreage that still has no house. In the AG, A-1, and R-1 belt, the usual land-use cap is one house per acre, AG lots need 43,560 square feet, and an R-1 lot needs 35,000 square feet of net dry land before it matches the estate minimum. A horse is allowed only in RR, AG, A-1, and R-1, and only once the lot reaches 35,000 square feet. None of that has to be solved before a sale. We buy vacant land, including land with no water, sewer, or road work. Utility, access, and title are reviewed before an offer. The only contingency is that land review, and if it does not work out, the seller pays nothing for it. [7],[8],[10]
There is no sewer line at the lot
A lot with no sewer can still be sold. The town is not on one utility. A 2019 town summary said a significant number of homes remained on septic tanks. A future house in the town utility area would face a $5,970 combined water and sewer tap, at 350 gallons a day. A future house on a septic tank would instead need a Broward health-department permit, with $100 due at filing and $260 for the permit. Those are builder costs, not a bar to selling, and the town's utility map shows which provider, if any, serves the address. [15],[14],[16],[13]
The acreage came through the family
An heir can sell a family parcel in the rural belt. Most owners of vacant lots here use a Florida mailing address (98%), while 2% use an address outside Florida. We review the current ownership and title before offering. You can sign electronically and close by mail through an independent title company. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [1]
Your lot is a small infill parcel, not an acre
A small vacant lot can be sold even when it cannot meet the rural acreage rules. The size class that shows up most often is the micro lot, 23% of 567 vacant residential lots, while the median lot is still 0.25 acres. A micro lot in a tighter neighborhood is not an AG homesite, and it will not qualify for a horse under the 35,000-square-foot livestock rule. Its possible use depends on zoning, access, and whether a sewer connection or septic system is realistic. The offer follows that parcel, not the $700,000 sale median. [1],[10]

Questions
Selling land in Davie: common questions
Can I sell my lot if it is not on the town sewer?
Yes. A lot can be sold with no town sewer and no water tap. Several utilities cover different streets, and a 2019 town summary said many homes were still on septic tanks. In the town utility area, a new home's published tap is $5,970 for water and sewer together. A new septic tank, where sewer is not available, is permitted by the health department in Broward County. Filing the plans is $100, and the permit itself is $260.
Does a bare lot get a stormwater line on the tax bill?
Usually no. The town's stormwater charge hits developed property. Fiscal year 2026 imposed $60 per equivalent unit, one unit per house, and the September 14, 2026 notice proposed that same $60 for the year opening October 1, 2026. The town FAQ says a vacant lot with no structure is not billed in most cases. Pavement or another hard surface can create a charge, because the unit is based on 4,882 square feet of hard surface. When it applies, the charge is collected on the property-tax bill.
How big must a lot be before a horse is allowed?
At least 35,000 square feet, and only in the RR, AG, A-1, or R-1 districts. The town's farm guide, compiling code section 12-34, bars horses, cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, and rabbits on other residential zoning. In R-1 the count is up to four horses or cattle for each 35,000 square feet. In AG and A-1 the cap is eight livestock, and no more than four of them may be horses or cattle. A small stable must stand 40 feet from the next property, the road, or an existing building.
Will a flood zone or a canal district block the sale?
No. A mapped flood zone does not block a sale of vacant land. FEMA's map for community 120035 took effect July 31, 2024, and the town is CRS class 7, a 15 percent flood-insurance discount in a special flood hazard area. What changes is the build: inside the Central Broward Water Control District, the lowest floor must sit 18 inches over the road crown. Filling or grading the lot also needs an engineering permit. Those rules affect what can be built, not whether the lot can transfer.
Do I need a fresh survey before I sell the land?
No survey is required to request our cash offer. Construction paperwork is stricter. The town utility agreement asks for a letter-size survey, and a new septic application asks for a survey sealed by a licensed surveyor plus two soil profiles to at least 72 inches or refusal. Those requirements apply to the utility or septic process, not to requesting an offer.
What if my lot is smaller than the rural minimum?
You can still sell it. An undersized lot does not have to be enlarged first. AG standards cited in a February 2025 report call for 43,560 square feet, and a 2026 R-1 file cites 35,000 square feet of net dry land. A smaller parcel does not meet those listed minimums, so its zoning, frontage and any existing approvals need parcel-specific review before an offer.
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.
- How to Sell Land in a Flood Zone
Flood-zone land can be sellable and sometimes buildable. A FEMA flood zone describes mapped risk; it is not a building permit. The buyer must verify the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and any map changes, then ask the local floodplain administrator what elevation, floodway, coastal, permit, and design rules apply.[1][2][4] Vacant land itself is not covered by an NFIP policy; flood insurance covers qualifying buildings and contents, not land value.[5][6]
- 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 whose property address city is Davie. 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 2, 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. Flood and springs-BMAP figures screen tax-roll parcel center points, not parcel boundaries. They are aggregate map screens, not flood-zone, insurance, buildability, elevation, septic, or permitting determinations.
