| Vacant residential lots | 65 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Sub-half-acre lot (16,000–19,000 sq ft): 17% of vacant lots; next, one-acre homesite at 15%. Median lot: 0.48 acre (20,860 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $900,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $175,000 and $1,912,600 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Hutchinson Island [1] |
| St. Lucie Inlet | St. Lucie Inlet separates Hutchinson Island from Jupiter Island and connects the Atlantic with the Indian River Lagoon, St. Lucie River and Hobe Sound. It was first cut in 1892 at 30 feet wide and 5 feet deep. [2] |
| County jurisdiction | Martin County identifies its Hutchinson Island area as unincorporated. Martin County Building therefore handles building permits, plan review and inspections for parcels in this page's Martin County scope. [3],[4] |
| Island MSTU tax rate | Martin County's FY2026 adopted budget lists Special District A-61, the Hutchinson Island MSTU, at 0.1799 mills. The current tax bill confirms whether and how the line applies to a parcel. [5] |
| Utility lines need a parcel check | Martin County publishes an address-searchable map for nearby water and wastewater lines. A mapped line does not by itself prove that a vacant island lot has an active connection or reserved capacity. [11] |
| Clearing can need county review | For clearing tied to construction, Martin County does not issue the building permit until the clearing plan is approved and stamped. The current schedule lists $360 for that environmental review. [6],[7] |
| Barrier islands are Zone AB | Martin County places its barrier islands in evacuation Zone AB, described for storm surge up to 6 feet. Evacuation zones and FEMA flood zones answer different planning questions. [8],[9] |
| MacArthur road and dune project | The county's MacArthur Boulevard project raises a 1,100-foot road section from a 2.5-foot minimum elevation to 5.25 feet. Its plan keeps the existing dune at elevation 14. [10] |

What moves the price in Hutchinson Island
Coastal access and resilience work affect the island
A barrier-island parcel depends on more than its acreage. Martin County's MacArthur Boulevard project combines shoreline stabilization, roadway elevation and stormwater treatment. The published design raises a 1,100-foot road section from a 2.5-foot minimum elevation to 5.25 feet and keeps the existing dune at elevation 14. Those are corridor facts, not proof that every lot receives the same benefit or construction burden. A buyer still checks legal access, grade, drainage, shoreline context and any project easement before pricing a specific site. [10]
Flood map and evacuation zone are separate checks
Martin County puts barrier islands in evacuation Zone AB for storm surge up to 6 feet, but that emergency-planning label is not the parcel's FEMA flood zone. The county's flood page separately identifies common A, AE, AH, AO, VE, X and shaded X zones. A future design may need floodplain review or an elevation certificate. Keeping those systems separate prevents a seller or buyer from treating an evacuation color as a buildability answer. [8],[9]
Clearing and utility work need parcel evidence
For clearing tied to construction, Martin County reviews the clearing plan with the building-permit application and does not issue the building permit until the plan is approved and stamped. No separate land-clearing application is required for that process. The current fee schedule lists $360 for the environmental clearing-plan review. The county's utility map shows nearby water and wastewater lines, but not an active connection to a vacant lot. [6],[7],[11]
No qualifying 2025 sales means no price trend
This page does not publish a 2025 sale median or describe a price direction because the tax-roll filter found no qualifying arm's-length, single-parcel vacant-land sale. The roll still identifies 65 vacant residential parcels in the address-city scope and a median area of 0.48 acre. Those inventory facts do not establish market value. Coastal position, access, flood elevation, utilities, clearing limits and title drive the parcel-specific cash offer. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Hutchinson Island in these situations
You own an island parcel but do not know its flood zone
Yes. You can request an offer before ordering an elevation certificate. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. The barrier-island evacuation label is not a substitute for a FEMA flood-zone determination. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [9],[8]
The lot is wooded or may need clearing
You do not need to obtain clearing approval before contacting us. For clearing tied to construction, Martin County reviews the clearing plan with the building-permit application and does not require a separate land-clearing application. Separate permits for exotic-vegetation or agricultural clearing require a clearing plan and abbreviated environmental assessment. There are no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs. [6],[12]
You live outside Florida
Yes. You can sell remotely. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. You can sign electronically and close by mail through an independent, licensed title company. Closing is typically about 10 days after a purchase agreement is signed, depending on title. Liens or back taxes can be paid from proceeds at closing with the seller's consent.

Questions
Selling land in Hutchinson Island: common questions
Is Hutchinson Island an incorporated city?
No. Martin County describes the Martin County portion of Hutchinson Island as unincorporated. For parcels in this page's Martin County scope, Martin County Building handles permit applications, plan review and inspections.
Does Hutchinson Island have a special taxing unit?
Yes. Martin County's FY2026 adopted budget lists the Hutchinson Island MSTU as Special District A-61 with a 0.1799-mill rate. The current parcel tax bill is the right source for the actual charge and all other lines.
Does every vacant lot already have water and sewer?
No. Martin County's water and wastewater line map shows nearby infrastructure, not an active connection to every vacant parcel. Use the address search and a parcel-specific availability check before assuming service, capacity or connection cost.
Can I sell a wooded lot before obtaining a clearing permit?

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]
- 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 Cash Land Buyers Price Offers
A cash-land offer may start with verified sales of land with similar use, then adjust those sales for meaningful differences.[1] Buyers may also account for access, utilities, legal use, size, shape, flood and soil questions, title issues, demand, and costs and risk they will carry. No universal assessed-value percentage applies. Compare each written offer by expected net proceeds, contingencies, seller work, and timing—not one asking price or headline number.

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 Hutchinson Island. 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 5, 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.
