Local data
Lantana land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels whose property address city is Lantana in Palm Beach County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
| Vacant residential lots | 247 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Micro lot (2,000–5,000 sq ft): 85% of vacant lots; next, quarter-acre lot at 4%. Median lot: 0.05 acre (2,040 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $75,000 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $75,000 and $83,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Lantana [1] |
| Lake Worth Lagoon | Lake Worth Lagoon is separated from the Atlantic by a barrier island and linked to the ocean by two inlets. Lantana's profile says East Ocean Avenue crosses the Intracoastal Waterway to Hypoluxo Island, making the waterway relevant to access and flood review. [2],[3] |
| An incorporated town | Lantana is an incorporated town, first incorporated in 1921 and reincorporated in 1931. Its Building Division regulates construction and issues permits within town limits; an address-city label does not replace a municipal-boundary check. [3],[4] |
| Town water and sewer area | The town provides water and sewer to its incorporated area, with an approximate service boundary east of I-95, north of Hypoluxo Road to about a mile north of Lantana Road. It reports about 3,400 customers. [5] |
| New-home drainage submittal | The town's one- and two-family checklist requires approved drainage and landscape permits, a recent survey, a site plan and finished-floor information. Properties in a Special Flood Hazard Area also need a pre-construction elevation certificate. [6] |
| Onsite retention standard | For a single-family or duplex site of one acre or less, the town requires onsite retention for a 3-year storm, stated as 2.8 inches of rain. It also requires a 4-inch depression across proposed driveways, 4 feet from the pavement edge. [7] |
| Current flood construction rules | The town says that effective December 20, 2024, new or substantially improved buildings in designated flood zones must reach base flood elevation plus one foot; improvements costing 50% of market value count as substantial. [8] |
| Published utility capacity fees | The town's fee schedule lists $1,511 per equivalent residential unit for water capacity and $2,000 for wastewater capacity, plus the cost of buying Lake Worth capacity for new connections. These are not a parcel-specific connection quote. [9] |
| Federal map lookup | FEMA's Map Service Center is the official federal portal for the current flood map at a specific address or map location. The town's elevation rule still controls local permit review in designated zones. [10],[8] |
| County impact-fee schedule | Palm Beach County publishes an impact-fee schedule for Lantana effective January 1, 2026. A project-specific permit quote is still needed before assigning county impact fees to a vacant lot. [11] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 8 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 8.9% of vacant lots in Lantana have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated December 20, 2024). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |

What moves the price in Lantana
Compact infill geometry and town zoning
Many vacant parcels in this address-city scope are small infill sites rather than broad tracts. The 2026 roll reports a median lot size of 0.05, and micro lots make up 85% of the 247 vacant residential parcels. A small lot can still work, but survey dimensions, setbacks, lot coverage, parking, access and the proposed use must fit together. The town Building Division handles construction review inside municipal limits, while a parcel outside that line can have a different permitting authority. [1],[4],[6]
Drainage storage before a foundation
A buildable-looking lawn is not yet a drainage plan. For smaller single-family and duplex sites, the town's application uses a 3-year, 2.8-inch design storm and requires a 4-inch depression across proposed driveways. The new-home checklist also requires a separate drainage permit and survey-based plans. Those rules can reduce the area available for a house, driveway and fill or add engineering and grading cost. A buyer therefore compares usable building envelope, not just gross square footage shown in a property record. [7],[6]
Coastal flood design and finished-floor elevation
The current flood map and elevation standard can materially change the construction budget. The town says that since December 20, 2024, new or substantially improved buildings in designated zones must reach base flood elevation plus one foot. Its drainage application separately requires the finished floor to be 1 foot above the 100-year storm elevation or the FEMA base flood elevation, whichever is greater. FEMA's portal, survey elevation, fill, foundation type and coastal-wave conditions should be checked before treating two nearby parcels as equivalent. [8],[7],[10]
Utility capacity and thin sale evidence
Town water and sewer are important advantages only after service and fees are confirmed for the address. The published schedule includes separate water and wastewater capacity charges, while the utility page describes service to the incorporated area within an approximate service boundary. The roll's median just value is $75,000, but that appraisal figure is not a cash price. The qualifying 2025 vacant-lot sample is too limited for a sound trend statement, so capacity, drainage, flood design and site geometry carry more weight. [5],[9],[1]
Common situations
Selling land in Lantana in these situations
Your small lot never fit the house you imagined
Yes. You can sell a small parcel even when your old house plan no longer fits current review standards. The town asks for survey-based site, drainage, landscape and flood materials for a new residence, and those items can reveal a tighter building envelope than the owner expected. We assess the land as it is, including sites with engineering or layout constraints. Our inspection is the only contingency, and there is no cost to the seller if the parcel does not work for us. [6],[7]
You inherited land near the lagoon
Yes. An inherited parcel near the lagoon can be sold before the heirs design a house. The title company first determines the ownership and estate documents needed, while our review focuses on municipal boundary, survey dimensions, utilities, flood elevation and access. The 1921 and 1931 incorporation history can make an older deed or plat worth reading carefully, but age alone does not establish a title defect or building right. [3],[8]
You moved away and kept the lot
Yes. A former resident can complete a sale remotely. Electronic signing and a mail-away closing are available through the independent title company, and payment can be by check or wire. Travel is not required for the parcel review; we still verify the same jurisdiction, utility, flood, drainage and title details before finalizing the purchase.

Questions
Selling land in Lantana: common questions
Is Lantana a city or an unincorporated area?
Lantana is an incorporated town. Its official profile records incorporation in 1921 and reincorporation in 1931, and its Building Division administers construction permits inside town limits. This page uses an address-city tax-roll scope, so verify the boundary before assuming the town is the permitting authority for a specific parcel.
Will a vacant lot have town water and sewer?
Not automatically. The town says it supplies water and sewer to its incorporated area within an approximate service boundary, but connection availability, capacity, meter status and fees remain parcel-specific. Ask the utility to check the exact address before using public service in a construction budget.
Does a new home need a drainage plan?
Yes. The town's one- and two-family checklist requires a separate drainage permit, and its small-site application calls for retaining a 3-year, 2.8-inch design storm onsite. A survey and engineered layout show how the house, driveway, swale, fill and neighboring grades work together.
How do flood zones affect a Lantana lot?
They can change elevation, foundation and documentation requirements. The town says that effective December 20, 2024, new or substantially improved buildings in designated zones must reach base flood elevation plus one foot. Use FEMA's portal to confirm the exact panel, then check survey elevation and any coastal-wave designation before estimating site cost.
Can I sell without paying an agent commission?
Yes. Parcel Buyers purchases directly, so there are no fees or commissions and we cover closing costs. You receive a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If accepted, an independent title company handles the closing, typically in about 10 days, subject to completion of the title work.
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]
- Selling Land When the Owner Died Without a Will
Florida land can be sold after an owner dies without a will, but no relative automatically has authority to convey the estate's whole interest. Intestacy law identifies the heirs and their shares.[1] Probate may be needed for land held only in the deceased owner's name.[3] For a sale by the personal representative of an intestate estate, no title passes until the court authorizes or confirms the sale.[9]
- 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 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 Lantana. 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. Exact cross-roll matching found that 83.8% of current vacant lots lacked a unique prior-roll match; parcel splits, combinations, renumbering, and missing IDs are not guessed. 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.
