Local data
Greenacres land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels whose property address city is Greenacres in Palm Beach County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
| Vacant residential lots | 246 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Micro lot (2,000–5,000 sq ft): 43% of vacant lots; next, patio-home lot at 32%. Median lot: 0.07 acre (3,040 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $50,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $50,000 and $80,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Greenacres [1] |
| Okeeheelee Park | Palm Beach County lists Okeeheelee Park, a regional park at 7715 Forest Hill Boulevard, at 1,659.84 acres. The city says the park is adjacent to Greenacres, so a large public tract, not more lots, borders the city's small vacant-land supply. [2],[3] |
| Municipal permit authority | Greenacres is an incorporated city. Its Building Division reviews plans, issues permits, performs inspections and provides floodplain management services for property inside city limits. [4],[3] |
| A platted origin | The city's history says the founder acquired about 1,000 acres and divided the land into plats; Plat II became the original city section. Incorporation followed in 1926, so an older infill parcel may depend on recorded plat geometry and easements. [5] |
| Very little vacant land | The city reports 43.6 acres of vacant land within its 3,724.8 acres and says 65% of land area is residential. That citywide planning measure differs from this page's vacant-residential tax-roll scope. [6] |
| County water utility service | Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists Greenacres among the municipalities it directly serves. That service-area fact does not prove one empty parcel has a tap, meter, sewer lateral or paid capacity. [7] |
| Drainage-district assessment | Lake Worth Drainage District lists an assessment of $48.50 per acre or portion within its jurisdiction, billed on the county tax statement. Confirm the district boundary and current bill for a specific lot. [9] |
| Mapped flood conditions vary | The city says its new flood maps took effect October 5, 2017. The whole city had been treated as Zone X; the new maps put several areas in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area, so the parcel's map panel matters more than the city name. [10] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 0 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Jun) | County-level for Palm Beach County: 176 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $597,500. [1] |
| FEMA high-risk flood-zone screen | About 1.2% of vacant lots in Greenacres have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated October 5, 2017 to December 20, 2024). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |
| Springs BMAP small-lot screen | About 0% of located vacant lots in Greenacres are 1 acre or less and have their center point in an adopted Florida springs BMAP. |

What moves the price in Greenacres
Scarce infill and an older recorded plat
This is a mature city with little vacant acreage left, not a broad field of interchangeable lots. The city reports 43.6 vacant acres out of 3,724.8 total acres, while its history traces the original community to separately recorded plats. For an infill buyer, the decisive questions are legal lot status, dimensions, easements, access and whether the municipal zoning envelope fits a useful building. Scarcity can support interest, but it does not cure a narrow parcel, an access problem or a lot that cannot satisfy current site standards. [6],[5],[4]
Utility service area versus a ready connection
Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists the municipality among the places it directly serves. That is not the same as a ready-to-use water and sewer connection. A purchaser still checks main location, capacity, meter or tap history, utility easements and charges for the exact parcel. If an address falls outside the incorporated boundary despite its postal city, the controlling land-use and permit offices can also change. These checks affect both construction cost and timing. [7],[8],[4]
Drainage charges and mapped flood elevation
Drainage has both an annual and a site-design side. A parcel inside Lake Worth Drainage District is subject to the district's $48.50-per-acre-or-portion assessment on the county tax statement. Separately, the city administers floodplain requirements and identifies both Zone X and Zone AE areas on its adopted maps. The current tax bill confirms a district line; the map, survey and proposed grading establish site risk. Neither a neighboring house nor a citywide flood description substitutes for those parcel records. [9],[10],[4]
Roll profile without a 2025 price trend
The address-city tax roll identifies 246 vacant residential parcels, a median lot size of 0.07, and micro lots as the largest size group at 43%. Its median property-appraiser just value is $50,000. Those figures describe the roll, not current market value. There are no qualifying 2025 arm's-length, single-parcel vacant-lot sales in this scope, so a claimed price trend would be unsupported. Offers must instead rest on parcel records, title, access, utilities, zoning, drainage and likely site work. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Greenacres in these situations
Your family has held an old infill parcel
Yes. A long-held or inherited infill lot can be sold even when the family has no current building plan. The city's early development was divided into recorded plats, so title work may need the exact lot, block, easements and later municipal changes. An independent title company determines what signatures or estate documents are required. We review the land as-is and cover closing costs, with no fees or commissions charged to the seller. [5]
The tax bill shows a drainage line
Yes. A lot with a drainage-district assessment can still be sold. Lake Worth Drainage District states that its acreage-based charge appears on the Palm Beach County tax statement for land within district jurisdiction. Use the current bill and boundary confirmation rather than estimating from acreage alone. Any agreed liens or back taxes can be paid from proceeds at closing with the seller's consent, allowing the title company to deliver the required title condition. [9]
You manage the property from another state
Yes. A seller can complete the transaction remotely without visiting the lot or title office. Electronic signatures and a mail-away closing can be coordinated through the independent title company, with payment by check or wire. Parcel review still includes jurisdiction, plat geometry, access, utilities, flood mapping and current assessments, so distance does not reduce the diligence applied to the property.

Questions
Selling land in Greenacres: common questions
Who permits construction on a Greenacres lot?
The Greenacres Building Division reviews plans, issues permits and performs inspections for property inside city limits. It also provides the city's floodplain management services. Because the data scope follows the property-address city, confirm that the parcel is actually inside the incorporated boundary before relying on city zoning or permit requirements.
Are water and sewer already connected?
Not necessarily. Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists the city among the municipalities it directly serves, but a service area does not prove a live meter, tap, capacity payment or sewer lateral at one vacant site. Ask the utility to verify the exact parcel before treating it as connection-ready.
Does every lot pay the Lake Worth Drainage District assessment?
No. The $48.50-per-acre-or-portion charge applies to land within Lake Worth Drainage District jurisdiction. The district says it appears on the county tax statement. Check the district boundary and the parcel's current bill, because a Greenacres mailing address by itself does not prove that the assessment applies.
Can I use the tax-roll value as my sale price?
No. The median just value of $50,000 is a property-appraiser measure across this vacant-residential scope, not a guaranteed price for one parcel. With no qualifying 2025 lot sales in the defined sample, title, dimensions, zoning, access, utilities, flood conditions and site-work cost are the more defensible basis for an offer.
What does Parcel Buyers charge to close?
Parcel Buyers charges the seller no fees or commissions and covers closing costs. A written, no-obligation cash offer is available within 24 hours after parcel details are received. If accepted, an independent title company handles closing, typically in about 10 days, subject to the title search.
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]
- 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.
- Cape Coral North 1 East UEP Assessment for Lot Owners
North 1 East's first amortized UEP installment is scheduled for the November 2026 tax bill. For the City's sample 10,000-square-foot parcel receiving all three utilities, maximum annual installments total $3,385 over 30 years, $3,616 over 25 years, or $3,961 over 20 years. The sample's three initial-prepayment amounts totaled $32,288, but each parcel's mailed notice controls.[1][2][3][4]

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 Greenacres. 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 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.
