| Unincorporated Rural Settlement | Bithlo is a Rural Settlement on Orange County's Future Land Use Map, set in 1991 and locked since 2000: no new Rural Settlements or boundary expansions are allowed. The county's Zoning and Building Safety divisions, not a city hall, handle approvals here. [2],[3] |
| County-ordered water line extension | Orange County's Commission found that extending potable water lines into the Bithlo Rural Settlement was needed to remediate a public health and safety concern. The lines may serve only already-vested development, not new building beyond one unit per acre. [2] |
| Central sewer stays limited | County policy keeps new central wastewater service out of Rural Settlements like Bithlo except in narrow cases, such as a documented land-use finding or the loss of a major area employer. Existing capacity cannot justify higher density. [2] |
| One of three settlements zoned for industry | Bithlo is one of only three Orange County Rural Settlements, with Christmas and Zellwood, where the Future Land Use Map allows any industrial use, and even there it must follow the county's septic-system ordinance and skip hazardous waste. [2] |
| Density capped near one unit per acre | Orange County generally caps Rural Settlement density at one unit per two acres, with narrow exceptions up to one per acre for land already zoned that way in 1991 or approved affordable-housing projects. Clustering must still fit that cap. [2] |
| Econlockhatchee River crosses SR 50 here | The Econlockhatchee River, a St. Johns River tributary, crosses State Road 50 at Bithlo. Florida's Econlockhatchee River Hydrologic Basin rules bar reducing flood storage in the river's 100-year floodplain and set buffers along its wetlands. [6],[5] |
| Incorporated once, now unincorporated | Bithlo was its own incorporated town for about two decades after 1922, before economic troubles ended regular council meetings by 1941; residents petitioned the state to dissolve the charter in 1970, and unincorporation was finalized in 1982. [7] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 10 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| Owner-type shares | Individuals 63.3%; companies 26.2%; trusts 6.2%; estates/heirs 4.2%; government/associations 0.1%. [1] |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Sep) | 15 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $95,000. [1] |
| FEMA high-risk flood-zone screen | About 41% of vacant lots in Bithlo have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated September 28, 2007 to September 25, 2009). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |

What moves the price in Bithlo
Water reached Bithlo for health reasons, not growth
Orange County's Board of County Commissioners found that extending potable water lines into the Bithlo Rural Settlement was necessary to fix a public health and safety problem, not to open the area to new growth. The extended lines can serve only development that was already vested, cannot justify new building, and cap non-vested development at one unit per acre until a sector plan is approved. Whether a lot already has access to that line, and whether it is vested, can matter more than its size. [2]
Septic and sewer rules stay tight
New central wastewater service is largely off the table for Rural Settlements like Bithlo; county policy allows an extension only for narrow reasons such as a documented land-use finding or the loss of a major area employer, and existing capacity cannot be used to argue for higher density later. Most development here, including the small share of industrial-zoned land, still runs on individual septic systems under the county's own on-site sewage ordinance. That keeps septic design and permitting, not a sewer tap, as the usual path to a build-ready lot. [2]
Density stays near one unit per acre
Orange County generally caps Rural Settlement density at one dwelling unit per two acres, with only narrow exceptions reaching one per acre. Clustering units with dedicated open space is allowed, but only if the tract's overall density still fits inside that cap, and amendments cannot push densities higher except under specific, limited circumstances. Most vacant residential land in this scope is already a 1.25-acre homesite, which lines up with that cap rather than exceeding it, so a buyer should not expect to split a tract into many more lots than the acreage already supports. [2],[1]
What lots actually sold for in 2025
49 Bithlo lots traded hands in 2025 under the roll's qualifying rule: arm's-length, single-parcel, vacant both at sale time and again on January 1, 2026. Those deals landed at a $13,700 median, with the middle half between $9,300–$29,000, counted across this Rural Settlement's Census block groups. The roll's separate $2,500 just-value figure is an assessment number, not a sale price or a Parcel Buyers offer. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Bithlo in these situations
You inherited a Bithlo lot and don't know the utilities
Yes. An heir who inherited a Bithlo lot does not need to track down first whether the parcel is vested for the county's water-line extension or still runs on a well. Our closing, run through an independent title company, sorts out the deed and probate paperwork; Orange County's permit divisions only matter once someone applies to build. [3],[4]
The lot has no water line and relies on a well
Yes. We buy vacant land with no water, sewer or road work. Most of Bithlo still relies on a private well and septic system; the county's water-line extension serves only already-vested development and was built to fix a health and safety problem, not to open new hookups across the settlement. Our land inspection is the only contingency, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [2]
You live out of state and the taxes are behind
Yes. You can sell a Bithlo lot from out of state and even if property taxes have fallen behind. 27% of the vacant lots in this scope belong to owners with a mailing address outside Florida. Liens or back taxes can be paid out of the sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent, and you can sign electronically and close by mail. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Bithlo: common questions
Does my Bithlo lot have access to county water?
Only if it was already a vested development when the county extended water lines into Bithlo to fix a health and safety problem. Those lines cannot be used to connect new, non-vested development beyond one unit per acre, and they are not a sign that sewer or broader utility service is coming next.
Can I put more than one home on a larger Bithlo tract?
Usually not beyond Orange County's Rural Settlement cap of one dwelling unit per two acres, with only narrow exceptions reaching one per acre. Clustering is allowed, but only inside that overall density cap, not as a way to add units.
Who issues zoning and building approvals in Bithlo?
Orange County's Zoning Division handles variances and special exceptions, and the county's Division of Building Safety issues building permits, since Bithlo is unincorporated. There is no city hall for Bithlo to go through.
Why does land near SR 50 flood close to Bithlo?
The Econlockhatchee River crosses State Road 50 at Bithlo, and Florida's rules for the Econlockhatchee River Hydrologic Basin bar any project from reducing flood storage in the river's 100-year floodplain. That basin-wide floodplain limit, not just the river's width at any one point, is what keeps some low-lying land here out of use.
Can I sell my Bithlo lot if I live in another state?
Yes. An out-of-state mailing address is already the case for 27% of this scope's vacant-lot owners. Everything from signing to the final payment, by check or wire, can happen without a trip back to Florida.

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 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.
- How to Sell Inherited Land in Florida
Yes, inherited land can be sold, but the person signing must have legal authority and the title must show who owns it. In Florida, land held only in the deceased owner's name is generally a probate asset, while survivorship ownership may pass outside probate.[1] Start with the deed, death certificate, and any will; then let a probate attorney and title company identify the right 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 Orange County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Bithlo CDP (5 block groups), addressed Orlando. 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. The reviewed 2026 recorded-sale window runs from January through September 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.
