Local data
Baldwin land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels whose property address city is Baldwin in Duval County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
| Vacant residential lots | 167 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Patio-home lot (5,000–7,000 sq ft): 20% of vacant lots; next, micro lot at 15%. Median lot: 0.22 acre (9,600 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $25,700 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $14,300 and $44,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Baldwin [1] |
| Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail | The Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail has a trailhead at 850 N. Center Street. Its 100-foot corridor runs about 14.5 miles from Imeson Road in Jacksonville to the town, with a 12-foot paved trail and a parallel equestrian path. [8] |
| An independent town | The incorporated town is about 20 miles west of Jacksonville. It remained independent when Jacksonville and Duval County consolidated and is run by a mayor, four council members and a town clerk. [2] |
| Town building inspection | Baldwin maintains its own Building Inspection Division. Its permit form requires separate permits for work such as plumbing, electrical, driveways, land clearing, tree removal, pools and signs. [3],[4] |
| Municipal utility plants | The Town departments directory lists both a water plant and a wastewater plant. A Baldwin address still does not prove that a vacant parcel has taps, available capacity or paid connection charges. [5] |
| Historic railroad crossroads | Town history says the first railroad was built in 1857, a second crossed it in 1859 and residents renamed the settlement Baldwin in 1860. [6] |
| 2018 federal flood study | FEMA's 2018 Duval County study lists the Town of Baldwin as community 120076 and notes no Special Flood Hazard Areas identified for the town. That does not replace parcel drainage and elevation review. [7] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 8 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| 2026 so far (Jan-May) | County-level for Duval County: 136 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $36,500. [1] |

What moves the price in Baldwin
Town boundaries determine who reviews the project
The incorporated town remained independent after Jacksonville and Duval County consolidated and maintains its own officials and departments. This page's tax-roll figures use property-address city, not a surveyed municipal boundary, so jurisdiction still needs to be confirmed for the individual parcel. Inside the town, the Building Inspection Division controls the permit path. Its application separates building work from electrical, plumbing, driveway, land-clearing, tree-removal, pool and sign permits. A buyer should confirm zoning, legal lot status, access and every required permit before assigning buildable value. [2],[3],[4]
Municipal plants are not parcel-level availability
Baldwin's department directory lists a Town water plant and wastewater plant, showing that municipal systems exist. It does not say that every vacant lot within this address scope has a water meter, sewer lateral or capacity reservation. Two nearby parcels can therefore present different extension, tap or onsite-system questions. Before pricing construction, a buyer should ask the Town to confirm whether each service reaches the parcel, what connection charges apply and whether any off-site work is required. Parcel Buyers buys land with no water, sewer or road work and checks utilities, access and title before offering. [5],[4]
Flood mapping still needs a site-level check
FEMA's Duval County flood study identifies Baldwin as community 120076 and, in the 2018 community table, reports no Special Flood Hazard Areas identified for the town. That statement does not mean every lot is dry, elevated or free from drainage work. It also does not establish whether an address-city parcel lies within Town boundaries. Road grade, ditch flow, culverts, localized ponding and the proposed building elevation still belong in parcel due diligence. A current map review, survey and site inspection are more useful than applying the town-wide table as a blanket guarantee. [7],[2],[4]
A sparse sale set is not a market trend
The qualifying 2025 vacant-lot sale set for the Baldwin property-address scope is too small to support a dependable price trend, so no sale median or direction is stated here. The roll still describes the inventory: patio-home lots form the largest measured size group at 20%, the median recorded lot is 0.22 acres, and the median property-appraiser just value is $25,700. Those statistics do not resolve Town jurisdiction, utility availability, access, drainage or permits. The official trail page places a 14.5-mile rail-trail endpoint in town, but that town-level feature does not establish a particular parcel's value. [1],[8]
Common situations
Selling land in Baldwin in these situations
You inherited an older Baldwin lot
Yes. An inherited parcel can be sold even if the family has never checked its old plat, utility status or municipal boundary. Baldwin's permit form asks for the legal description, lot, block, subdivision and zoning approval, so an old lot and a Baldwin address do not answer the Town's permit questions. We check utilities, access and title before offering. An independent title company can review the ownership chain and estate documents, then arrange electronic signing or a mail-away closing when an heir lives outside Duval County. [4]
The parcel has no confirmed utility taps
A vacant lot can be offered without first installing water or sewer. Baldwin operates water and wastewater plants, but the Town directory does not establish a tap, lateral or capacity for every address-city parcel. We treat those as due-diligence questions and price the land in its current condition. The only contingency is our land inspection; if the parcel does not work, it costs the seller nothing. Any utility or permit issue discovered during review is evaluated before the written offer. [5],[4]
You live outside Florida
You can sell without traveling to Duval County. The purchase agreement can be signed electronically, and an independent, licensed title company can conduct a mail-away closing and pay by check or wire. Closing is typically about 10 days after agreement, depending on title. If liens or back taxes appear in the title work, they can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent.

Questions
Selling land in Baldwin: common questions
Is Baldwin an incorporated town?
Yes. The Town's history page says the Legislature incorporated Baldwin on May 22, 1913, and its official site describes an independent town about 20 miles west of Jacksonville. It remained independent through Jacksonville-Duval consolidation. Because this page uses property-address city for its figures, verify that a particular parcel is actually inside the municipal boundary.
Who issues building permits in Baldwin?
Inside Town limits, the Building Inspection Division handles the permit path. The Town's officials page identifies its building inspector, and the application identifies separate permits for electrical, plumbing, driveways, land clearing, tree removal, pools and signs. One building application may therefore not cover the full project.
Does a Baldwin lot automatically have water and sewer?
No parcel-level connection should be assumed from the address. Baldwin's department directory lists Town water and wastewater plants, but it does not confirm a meter, sewer lateral, available capacity or connection charge for a specific vacant lot. Ask the Town for written availability and cost information before setting a construction budget.
Is every Baldwin lot outside a FEMA flood zone?
Do not treat the town-wide table as a parcel guarantee. FEMA's 2018 Duval County study says no Special Flood Hazard Areas were identified for the Town of Baldwin, but an individual lot can still have drainage, ditch, culvert, grade or localized ponding issues. Confirm current mapping, jurisdiction, elevation and site conditions for the parcel.
What special assessments apply to a Baldwin vacant lot?
Use the parcel's current tax bill, Town utility records and a municipal lien search. The official pages reviewed confirm Town government, permitting and utility plants but do not publish a current blanket MSBU, MSTU, CDD or drainage-district charge for every vacant Baldwin-address parcel. Do not transfer a neighboring property's charge without parcel-level confirmation.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- 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 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 whose property address city is Baldwin. 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.
