What moves the price in Anthony
Well, septic and utility answers come parcel by parcel
Do not assume every Anthony mailing address has the same water or wastewater setup. Marion County Utilities tells owners to contact customer service to find whether water and wastewater service is in their area, while its drinking-water page separately provides health-department testing guidance for private wells. If a homesite needs onsite wastewater, Florida DEP now handles Marion County septic permits. A new-system application includes Form 4015, a site plan, floor plans and a site evaluation. [6],[5]
Acreage and usable homesite area are not identical
The median vacant residential parcel in this tax-roll scope is 1.00 acre, and mini-estate (2-3 acres)s are the largest size group at 19% of 229 lots. Acreage alone does not state the result of a septic or flood review. Florida DEP requires a site plan and site evaluation with a new-system septic application. Marion County's Floodplain Finder and FEMA layer show whether mapped flood rules reach the parcel. Those records answer different questions from gross acreage. [1],[5],[8]
Flood designation changes the construction review
Marion County's Floodplain Finder and FEMA layer show whether mapped flood rules reach the parcel. In a Special Flood Hazard Area, new construction must place the finished floor at least 1 foot above base flood elevation. The county also applies a 50% substantial-improvement threshold to existing buildings. Its permit process calls for a notarized Elevation Certificate agreement signed by the owner and contractor, then an under-construction and a final Elevation Certificate, both prepared by a licensed surveyor. [8],[9]
Sparse sales do not establish a 2025 trend
This page does not publish a 2025 price trend because the qualifying vacant-lot sale sample is too small. The tax roll instead provides a descriptive snapshot of land still classified as vacant residential on January 1, 2026. Its median property-appraiser just value is $29,700, but just value is neither a recent sale price nor a Parcel Buyers offer. Parcel Buyers checks utilities, access and title before offering. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Anthony in these situations
You inherited a rural lot you have never visited
Yes. You can sell an inherited Anthony-address parcel without traveling to Marion County. Parcel Buyers checks utilities, access and title before offering. An independent title company handles the closing, and title requirements depend on the parcel's title. Electronic signing and a mail-away closing can keep the sale remote.
The property may need a well and septic system
Yes. A lack of confirmed public utilities does not prevent you from requesting an offer. County guidance tells owners to contact customer service to find whether water and wastewater service is in their area, and Florida DEP handles new septic permits in Marion County. We buy vacant lots with no water, sewer or road work. Our inspection is the only contingency; if the parcel does not work for us, it costs the seller nothing. [6],[5]
Flood mapping or annual charges concern you
The FEMA map and Marion County Floodplain Finder identify the mapped flood zone. The annual fire-rescue resolution says the non-ad valorem assessment is collected on the property-tax bill. For the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, covered land is assessed at $3.95 per acre, while agricultural land is exempt. These are separate official records for the parcel's flood classification and assessment. [8],[7]

Questions
Selling land in Anthony: common questions
Which Marion County office handles permits for Anthony property?
Marion County Building Safety handles building permits, plan review and inspections. The county's Civic Access portal also handles development-review, driveway, right-of-way and zoning permits.
Does every Anthony lot use a well and septic system?
No single utility answer applies to every parcel. Marion County tells owners to contact customer service to find whether water and wastewater service is in their area, and it provides testing guidance for private wells. If onsite wastewater is needed, Florida DEP requires a Marion County septic permit and supporting site documents.
Can an empty Anthony lot receive a fire assessment?
Yes, if it lies in the covered fire-rescue MSBU. For the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, the adopted land rate is $3.95 per acre, with agricultural acreage exempt. The parcel's current tax bill is the place to confirm the actual line item.
What does a mapped flood zone change for Anthony land?
It changes construction review. In a Special Flood Hazard Area, Marion County requires the finished floor of new construction to sit at least 1 foot above base flood elevation. The county permit process also requires under-construction and final Elevation Certificates from a licensed surveyor.
How quickly can Parcel Buyers close on my Anthony land?
A written, no-obligation cash offer is ready within 24 hours. After a signed purchase agreement, closing through an independent title company is typically about 10 days, subject to title. There are no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs.

Guides for your situation
- 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]
- 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 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 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 Anthony. 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. 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. 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.
