Property addresses here read Lehigh Acres (100%).
| Vacant residential lots | 3,583 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Quarter-acre lot (9,000–13,000 sq ft): 75% of vacant lots; next, third-acre lot at 15%. Median lot: 0.28 acre (12,000 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $14,800 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $13,700 and $15,300 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | $17,500 median across 126 arm's-length sales of vacant lots in Greenbriar (Jan 2025–Dec 2025); the middle half sold for $14,100–$22,000 [1] |
| Who bought lots in 2025 | Companies made 37% of those purchases, including 5% by homebuilders; individuals made the rest [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 30% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often NY, NJ, TX); 6% outside the U.S. [1] |
| Plat Book 27, Section 4 | Lee County's public records place Greenbriar in Plat Book 27, pages 1 through 82, within Section 4 of Township 44 South, Range 27 East. That survey location sits in the northeast corner of Lehigh Acres, ZIP 33972. [2],[3] |
| Unincorporated territory | Greenbriar carries no city limits of its own; Lee County governs it as unincorporated land inside the Lehigh Acres census-designated place. A 2015 law caps the local special district's authority at drainage and community improvements. [4],[5] |
| LA-MSID drainage bill | LA-MSID, formed in 2015 when state lawmakers folded in the old East County Water Control District, cannot levy a property tax, but it still bills $172.48 per acre for drainage work, close to $48 a year on Greenbriar's typical quarter-acre lot. [6],[5] |
| Fire fee, vacant or not | A 2020 resolution set the fire district's vacant-parcel charge at a $162 base fee, replacing a flat $25 rate, the same floor an improved home pays before any value-based add-on. That figure is from 2020; a current bill may read differently. [7] |
| Water and sewer gaps | FGUA's plants serve roughly 12,620 water and 10,420 wastewater accounts across Lehigh Acres, yet a county study found public water reaches under half the community and central sewer covers only about 38 percent. [8],[9] |
| Septic permit, engineer required | A new septic system in unincorporated Lee County needs a Department of Health permit and a licensed engineer's design. Budget $390 for the application, plus $155 more if the lot needs a site evaluation. [10] |
| What happens after unpaid taxes | An unpaid tax bill sends a parcel to the county's certificate auction, where bidding opens at 18 percent interest and falls from there. The holder can push for a tax deed starting two years after issuance, within a seven-year window. [11] |
| Buckingham Army Airfield | A World War II Army training field once covered part of what became Lehigh Acres; its runway and station grounds now sit under the community's streets and homes. Greenbriar occupies that same northeast quadrant of Lehigh Acres. [12] |
| Still-unpaved streets nearby | Lee County funds a yearly program turning unpaved Lehigh Acres roads into pavement, picked by condition and new-home counts. The 2026 contract covers 21.1 lane miles for $1.5 million, and some Greenbriar streets are still on the waiting list. [13] |
| 2025 sale price by lot size | The median recorded 2025 sale price for a quarter-acre lot in Greenbriar was $17,200 across 88 sales. [1] |
| Lot sales, 2025 vs 2024 | 2025: 126 recorded sales, $17,500 median; 2024: 247 recorded sales, $17,000 median. Median +2.9%; count -49.0%. [1] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 122 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| Years of lot supply at the 2025 building pace | 29.4 years; simple ratio, not a forecast. [1] |
| Owner-type shares | Individuals 61.8%; companies 36.3%; trusts 0.6%; estates/heirs 1.3%; government/associations 0.1%. [1] |
| Typical annual ad valorem taxes | A typical vacant lot in Greenbriar has estimated 2025 ad valorem taxes about $132 a year; most lots here also pay non-ad valorem charges (listed below). |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Jun) | 28 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $17,000. [1] |
| FEMA high-risk flood-zone screen | About 4.2% of vacant lots in Greenbriar have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated August 28, 2008 to July 6, 2015). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |

What moves the price in Greenbriar
A well and septic tank, not a city hookup
Buyers price in utilities before anything else. FGUA's own numbers show roughly 12,620 water and 10,420 wastewater accounts spread across Lehigh Acres, yet a county study puts public water below half the community and sewer near 38 percent. Getting a new septic system approved means hiring a licensed engineer and paying the Department of Health $390 to apply, plus $155 more for a site evaluation when the county asks for one. A lot without a confirmed hookup carries that cost forward into whatever gets built there. [9],[10],[8]
Lot size inside Plat Book 27
Greenbriar's recorded blocks run heavily to quarter-acre lots, 75% of the 3,583 vacant lots in this scope. One owner holding two adjoining parcels can list them together for more combined area than either lot gives alone. None of that fixes access or drainage, though; the plat sets shape and dimensions, and buildability still gets checked parcel by parcel.
What Greenbriar lots sold for in 2025
126 vacant Greenbriar lots changed hands in 2025 through arm's-length, single-parcel sales, landing at a median of $17,500 with the middle half between $14,100–$22,000. Every one of those lots was vacant at sale and still vacant on January 1, 2026. The property appraiser's own median just value for this scope, $14,800, is a tax number, not a sale price or a cash offer.
The yearly bill on an empty Greenbriar lot
Two assessments stack on top of regular county and school taxes here: LA-MSID's $172.48-per-acre drainage charge, about $48 on a quarter-acre lot, and the fire district's $162 vacant-lot base fee set in 2020. Miss the combined bill past June and the county moves the parcel into its certificate auction, where bidding opens at 18 percent interest. [6],[7],[11]
Common situations
Selling land in Greenbriar in these situations
You inherited a Greenbriar lot bought decades ago
Selling doesn't require having ever walked the property. Greenbriar's own filing, spanning pages 1 through 82 of Plat Book 27, is one of dozens of unit plats recorded as Lehigh Acres was sold off starting in the mid-1950s, much of it to buyers who never visited. An independent title company handles the closing, and its title search is what actually determines what paperwork an heir needs to produce. [4],[2]
Assessments or taxes have fallen behind
A lapsed LA-MSID charge, fire fee or property-tax bill doesn't rule out a sale. Lee County's remedy for unpaid taxes is a certificate auction followed, years later, by a possible tax deed application; none of that process has to be resolved by the owner first. At closing, with the seller's consent, those amounts can simply come out of the sale proceeds. [11],[6]
You live out of state and have never seen the lot
30% of this scope's vacant-lot owners already hold a mailing address outside Florida, so a remote sale is routine, not an exception. Documents go out electronically, the closing happens by mail through an independent title company, and payment arrives by check or wire without anyone boarding a flight.
There's no water, sewer or finished road
None of that stops an offer. Most Greenbriar lots run on a private well and septic system rather than a FGUA connection, and a handful of interior streets are still waiting on the county's paving list. We confirm utilities, access and title ourselves before pricing a parcel, and the land inspection, not the seller, carries whatever risk that turns up. [8],[13]

Questions
Selling land in Greenbriar: common questions
What happens if I fall behind on taxes for my Greenbriar lot?
The county auctions a tax certificate once a bill goes unpaid into June, with interest bidding starting at 18 percent and falling. From there, the certificate holder gains the right to request a tax deed two years after issuance, good for up to seven years.
Do I still owe LA-MSID or fire fees on an empty Greenbriar lot?
Yes, both still apply to vacant land. LA-MSID's drainage rate runs $172.48 per acre, and the fire district's base charge on a vacant parcel has stood at $162 since a 2020 change from a flat $25. Your current tax bill will show the live totals.
Can I sell my Greenbriar lot if I live in another state?
Yes. 30% of the vacant-lot owners in this scope already live outside Florida. Signing happens electronically, closing goes through the mail with an independent title company, and funds arrive by check or wire.
Will you buy my lot if the street in front of it isn't paved?
Yes. Lee County is still working through a multi-year list of unpaved Lehigh Acres streets, and plenty of Greenbriar lots sit on roads waiting their turn. We buy land with no finished road, no water and no sewer, and our land inspection is the only contingency involved.
Do I need a survey to sell a lot in Greenbriar?
Not before an offer. We look at the parcel's boundaries, access and title on our own first. If the title company later needs a survey for closing, that gets handled as part of the process rather than as a condition of getting an offer.

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 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]
- Water, Sewer, Septic, and Wells on Vacant Lots
A vacant lot may use public water, a private well, public sewer, or an onsite septic system, but nearby pipes and neighboring homes do not prove what the parcel can use. Ask each utility for a written availability decision, ask the permitting office whether connection is mandatory, and obtain a qualified site evaluation before saying septic will fit. Keep every response, permit, plan, test, and receipt.

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 platted in the Greenbriar subdivision units in northeast Lehigh Acres (legal descriptions beginning 'Greenbriar'), Lehigh Acres ZIP 33972. 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. Lot-size sale rows use the same qualified 2025 sale cohort and canonical square-foot classes; classes with fewer than 10 sales are omitted. Holding-cost estimates use 2025 taxable values and 2025 millage for FDOR vacant-residential code 000 parcels. They cover ad valorem taxes only, not a parcel-specific bill or non-ad valorem assessments. The reviewed 2026 recorded-sale window runs from January through June 2026; unreviewed recent sales are excluded. 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.
