Kendall land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels in the Miami-Dade County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Kendall CDP (block groups 120860078051 120860078052 120860078053 120860078054 120860083051 120860083052 120860083053 120860083054 120860084091 120860084092 120860084093 120860084094 120860084151 120860084152 120860084153 120860084154 120860084162 120860084181 120860084191 120860084193 120860156001 120860156002), carrying no property-address city on the Jan 1 2026 roll (unincorporated Miami-Dade County); these are 2020 Census CDP boundaries, not city limits - official boundary and name: https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/rest/services/TIGERweb/Places_CouSub_ConCity_SubMCD/MapServer/19/query?where=GEOID%3D%271236100%27&outFields=NAME,GEOID,BASENAME&returnGeometry=false&f=json in Miami-Dade County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
| Vacant residential lots | 196 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Sub-half-acre lot (16,000–19,000 sq ft): 13% of vacant lots; next, near-acre at 13%. Median lot: 0.72 acre (31,280 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $753,500 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $455,000 and $1,090,400 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Kendall [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 2% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often AZ, WY) [1] |
| No city hall of its own | No Kendall city address appears on the current tax roll, because Kendall never incorporated. Permit applications and zoning cases route to Miami-Dade's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, not a local planning office. [2],[3] |
| Platted over more than a century | The Florida Land and Mortgage Company bought this land in 1883 and named it for company director Henry John Broughton Kendall. A post office opened in 1914, and development accelerated in the 1950s as South Florida's suburbs expanded. [4] |
| Pinecrest split off in 1996 | The Village of Pinecrest, previously part of the historic Kendall area, incorporated as its own municipality in 1996, which is one reason Kendall's remaining unincorporated footprint borders several separately governed communities today. [4] |
| Septic permits | A drainfield on a Kendall lot still goes through the state, not the county: the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County handles the inspection and sign-off, and bills come through MyFloridaEHPermit rather than a county utility account. [5] |
| Checking a specific address | Countywide, WASD maintains over 8,500 miles of water pipe and 4,100 miles of sewer pipe, but that scale does not tell you about one lot; a Premise Location Certificate request is the tool that confirms what actually reaches a given Kendall address. [6] |
| Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport | Miami-Dade's own airport page still carries the historic name Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport for its general-aviation field here, now Miami Executive Airport, and notes operations must respect the adjacent residential communities. [7] |
| Bordered by US 1 and the Turnpike | Kendall spans about 16.6 square miles, with U.S. Route 1 forming its eastern boundary and the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike forming its western boundary, roughly 14 miles southwest of downtown Miami. [4] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 7 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Sep) | County-level for Miami-Dade County: 20 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $1,018,400. [1] |

What moves the price in Kendall
No city hall means county rules set the pace
Kendall has no property-address city on the roll and no municipal government of its own; Miami-Dade's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources handles building permits and zoning here. That is different from next-door Pinecrest, which split off and incorporated in 1996. A buyer checking a Kendall lot deals with the county's permit history rather than a separate city planning file, which matters when confirming what was ever approved on a parcel. [3],[4]
A septic lot answers to the state, not the county
If a Kendall parcel sits beyond the sewer line, building on it means dealing with the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County rather than the county's own environmental staff. That office runs the inspection, signs off on the drainfield, and bills through MyFloridaEHPermit. A county building permit alone does not cover this step, so the health-department timeline, not the usual permit counter, is what actually paces a septic build here. [5]
Lot sizes range wider than a typical suburb
Vacant residential lots in this tax-roll scope run from micro lots to multi-acre mini-estates, with no single size dominating: the largest size category here is still under 13% of the 196 lots counted, and the median runs 0.72 acres (31,280 square feet). That spread reflects a mix of older platted subdivisions and larger holdout parcels, so lot size alone says little about a specific lot's value. [1]
Too few 2025 sales to set a price range
Only a handful of arm's-length, single-parcel vacant-lot sales closed in this scope in 2025, too few for the tax roll to publish a reliable median or price range. The roll's median property-appraiser just value is $753,500, a tax valuation, not a sale price or a Parcel Buyers offer; the cash offer on a specific lot depends on its own access, utilities and title. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Kendall in these situations
You inherited a lot platted generations ago
Yes. You can sell an inherited Kendall lot even if you never visited it. This area was platted after the Florida Land and Mortgage Company's 1883 purchase, with a post office by 1914 and faster growth in the 1950s, so some parcels have passed through several owners since. Parcel Buyers closes through an independent title company, and the title path sets what paperwork is needed before closing. [4]
The taxes have fallen behind
Yes, a past-due tax bill does not take a sale off the table. State law builds in a buffer: whoever holds a tax certificate on the lot has to wait out two full years from that April 1 before filing for a deed, which is usually enough runway to close a sale first. Any liens or back taxes get settled straight out of the closing proceeds, with the seller's okay. [8]
You live outside Florida and manage the lot remotely
Yes, plenty of Kendall lot owners do exactly this. Of the vacant-lot owners counted in this scope, 2% are on record with an out-of-state mailing address. Nothing about selling requires a Florida trip: documents can be signed electronically, the closing runs by mail through an independent, licensed title company, and payment goes out by check or wire.

Questions
Selling land in Kendall: common questions
Is Kendall a city, or who do I call about zoning?
No, Kendall never incorporated, so there is no city office to call. Zoning questions, building permits and code cases all go to Miami-Dade County's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources.
Why did Pinecrest become its own city but not Kendall?
The Village of Pinecrest, once part of the broader Kendall area, voted to incorporate as its own municipality in 1996. The rest of Kendall stayed unincorporated, so Miami-Dade County, not a Kendall city hall, still governs it.
Who do I contact for a septic permit in Kendall?
Skip the county environmental office; a Kendall septic permit goes through the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County, and the associated fees are paid online through MyFloridaEHPermit.
How do I check if a lot has Miami-Dade water or sewer?
Request a Premise Location Certificate from WASD for the exact address. It reports the water and sewer status and any outstanding balance for that lot specifically, which is more reliable than reading a countywide coverage map.
Why don't you list a 2025 sale price for Kendall lots?
The 2025 sale count in this scope is too thin for the tax roll to call a median reliable, so we leave that number out rather than publish something misleading. A written offer still comes from checking the specific lot's access, utilities and title.
Can I sell my Kendall lot from out of state?
Yes, this comes up often: 2% of known vacant-lot owners in this scope list an address outside Florida. E-signatures, a mail-away closing through an independent title company, and payment by check or wire cover the whole process without a trip.
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 Get Rid of Land You Don't Want in Florida
The cleanest way to get rid of unwanted Florida land is usually to sell the whole parcel through a title-company closing. You can market it, request a direct cash offer, or approach an adjoining owner. A charitable or government donation works only if the intended recipient accepts the property; state and federal rules also affect the process.[3][4] Do not treat unpaid taxes or an unsigned deed as a way to abandon ownership.
- 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.
