Local data
Bradfordville land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels in the Leon County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Bradfordville CDP (10 block groups), addressed Tallahassee in Leon County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
Property addresses here read Tallahassee (100%).
| Vacant residential lots | 233 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Mini-estate (2-3 acres) (70,000–140,000 sq ft): 20% of vacant lots; next, half-acre lot at 11%. Median lot: 1.03 acre (44,870 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $75,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $27,200 and $110,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Bradfordville [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 10% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often GA, PA, CA) [1] |
| Unincorporated, county-run | No city government runs Bradfordville; it only became a census-recognized place in 2020. Zoning and building sign-off instead comes from the county's Development Support and Environmental Management office downtown. [2] |
| Bradfordville Sector Plan | Leon County's Commission adopted the Bradfordville Sector Plan on July 11, 2000. Development inside the Bradfordville Study Area still follows that plan's land-development standards rather than countywide defaults. [3] |
| Grading rules outside city sewer | Outside Tallahassee's urban services area, Leon County regulates 10-20% slopes to limit erosion, and new sewer extensions need either a documented environmental problem or a qualifying conservation subdivision. These apply to Bradfordville's outlying parcels. [3],[4] |
| Thomasville Road gateway corridor | Thomasville Road, Bradfordville's commercial spine, is named a Gateway Corridor in the Comprehensive Plan, which calls for enhanced landscaping, stormwater and parking improvements rather than strip-style development. [3] |
| Lake Iamonia development limits | Lake Iamonia, in the same US 319 corridor, has a county Special Development Zone: at most 5% or 4,000 sq ft may be disturbed below elevation 110 feet, with half the site left natural up to elevation 120 feet and a 50-foot shoreline buffer. [3] |
| How Bradfordville grew | Bradfordville began as farmland settled by the Bradford family in the early 1830s and stayed a rural crossroads for decades. The Census Bureau first counted it as its own census-designated place only in 2020. [6] |
| Wells and septic outside sewer lines | Parts of Bradfordville sit inside Tallahassee's urban services area, where city sewer can reach a parcel; land outside relies on wells and septic, now permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rather than the county. [3],[5] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 10 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| Typical annual ad valorem taxes | A typical vacant lot in Bradfordville has estimated 2025 ad valorem taxes about $1,036 a year; most lots here also pay non-ad valorem charges (listed below). |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Sep) | County-level for Leon County: 102 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $75,000. [1] |
| FEMA high-risk flood-zone screen | About 15.1% of vacant lots in Bradfordville have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated August 18, 2009). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |
| Springs BMAP small-lot screen | About 49.1% of located vacant lots in Bradfordville are 1 acre or less and have their center point in an adopted Florida springs BMAP. |

What moves the price in Bradfordville
No single utility answer for every parcel
Bradfordville straddles Tallahassee's urban services area boundary, so utility access is not the same from one parcel to the next. Where city sewer reaches a lot, Leon County's land-use rules allow higher density; outside that boundary, a buyer should plan on a private well and septic system, permitted now through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rather than the county. That difference changes what a lot can support and what it costs to make it build-ready. [3],[5]
The 2000 sector plan still shapes new development
Development inside the Bradfordville Study Area follows the Bradfordville Sector Plan the County Commission adopted on July 11, 2000, not the countywide default rules. That plan's land-development standards cover things such as road design and site layout for the area, so a lot's buildable use can depend on this older, area-specific plan rather than on acreage alone. A buyer should check whether a specific parcel falls inside the mapped Study Area before assuming standard county rules apply. [3]
Terrain and shoreline rules on the edges
Outside the urban services area, Leon County requires special grading rules on slopes of 10% to 20% to control erosion, and a Special Development Zone around Lake Iamonia in the same US 319 corridor limits disturbance below elevation 110 feet to 5% of a site or 4,000 square feet, with at least half the site left natural up to elevation 120 feet. Those terrain and shoreline limits matter more on Bradfordville's outlying, less-developed tracts than on parcels already close to the commercial corridor. [3],[4]
Recent sales are too few to set a price
Fewer than a dozen vacant Bradfordville lots met the state's arm's-length, single-parcel sale rule in all of 2025, too thin a sample for a published median or price range here. For scale, the roll's $75,000 figure is an assessment number built for tax purposes, not a stand-in for a market price or a cash offer. Ownership here leans heavily in-state: 90% of vacant-lot owners list a Florida address, against 10% elsewhere. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Bradfordville in these situations
You inherited land in Bradfordville
Yes. Selling inherited Bradfordville land does not require first learning whether the parcel falls inside Tallahassee's urban services boundary. A title search handles probate and deed questions once the sale is underway; Leon County's permit department only comes into the picture if someone later wants to build. [2]
The lot has never been connected to sewer
Yes. You can sell a lot here that has never had a sewer connection. Land outside Tallahassee's urban services area generally relies on a private well and septic system, and any new septic permit now goes through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rather than the county. We buy vacant land with no water, sewer or road work, and our land inspection is the only contingency; a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [3],[5]
You live out of state and have never seen the lot
Yes. Living outside Florida, or never once driving past the lot, does not stop a Bradfordville sale. 10% of this scope's vacant parcels already carry an out-of-state owner address. Paperwork moves electronically and by mail, with payment arriving by check or wire once an independent title company finishes closing. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Bradfordville: common questions
Does Bradfordville have city water and sewer?
It depends on the parcel. Parts of this area sit inside Tallahassee's urban services area, where city sewer can reach a lot; land outside that boundary generally relies on a private well and septic system. Confirm where a specific parcel sits relative to that boundary before assuming either way.
What is the Bradfordville Sector Plan and does it affect my lot?
It is the area-specific development plan the Leon County Commission adopted on July 11, 2000 for the Bradfordville Study Area. If a parcel falls inside that mapped area, its land-development standards apply instead of the countywide default rules, which can affect road design, site layout and allowed uses.
Who issues permits for a Bradfordville lot?
Leon County's Development Support and Environmental Management department issues zoning approvals and building permits for this unincorporated area. New septic system permits, though, go through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rather than the county.
Why isn't there a 2025 sale price for Bradfordville lots?
Too few qualifying sales. Fewer than a dozen vacant lots here met the state's arm's-length, single-parcel rule in 2025, which is not enough to publish a median. The $75,000 figure on the roll is an assessment value for taxes, not a market price.
Can I sell my Bradfordville lot if I live in another state?
Yes. 10% of the owners of record for vacant lots in this scope already list an address outside Florida. Closing paperwork moves by e-signature and mail, with funds sent by check or wire once title clears.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- Selling Land When the Owner Died Without a Will
Florida land can be sold after an owner dies without a will, but no relative automatically has authority to convey the estate's whole interest. Intestacy law identifies the heirs and their shares.[1] Probate may be needed for land held only in the deceased owner's name.[3] For a sale by the personal representative of an intestate estate, no title passes until the court authorizes or confirms the sale.[9]
- 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]
- Selling a Vacant Lot With Code Enforcement Liens
Yes, a Florida vacant lot with a code enforcement lien can often be sold, but first confirm the violation, daily fine, compliance status, and written payoff with the city or county that issued the order. A fine can accrue until the violator complies or judgment is entered in an enforcement suit.[1] A reduction is not automatic. A clear-title closing normally needs a current payoff and a documented satisfaction or release path.

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 Leon County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Bradfordville CDP (10 block groups), addressed Tallahassee. 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. 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 September 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.
