Local data
Lealman land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels in the 18 Pinellas County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Lealman CDP (Census boundaries, not city limits), addressed St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
Property addresses here read St. Petersburg (96%).
| Vacant residential lots | 191 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 tax roll [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Patio-home lot (5,000–7,000 sq ft): 56% of vacant lots; next, micro lot at 16%. Median lot: 0.14 acre (6,000 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical assessed value | $99,100 median just (market) value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $93,900 and $111,300 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Lealman [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 7% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often NJ, IL, NY) [1] |
| No mayor, no city council | Lealman answers to Pinellas County government rather than a city hall of its own; the Census Bureau tracks it as an unincorporated designated place, and county staff handle permitting decisions here. [2] |
| The county's first redevelopment area | Pinellas County set up the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area in 2015 as its first CRA in an unincorporated part of the county, then adopted a 30-year plan the following year, funded through a dedicated Tax Increment Financing district. [4] |
| Grant money tied to the CRA | Property owners inside the CRA boundary can tap separate Residential Improvement Grant and Commercial Improvement Grant programs, run out of the Lealman Exchange community center. [4] |
| A newer boundary than the neighborhood itself | Until 2010 this ground was folded into a larger area called East Lealman; it has stood as its own census-designated place only since that split. The 2020 count put the population at 21,189. [2] |
| Permits go through the county, not a city office | Pinellas County's Building and Development Review Services department reviews applications for this unincorporated area, with submissions handled through the county's online portal. [3] |
| County health dept., not state DEP, runs septic | Pinellas falls outside the 16 Florida counties where the state's own environmental agency issues septic permits directly, so it is the county health department that reviews onsite-sewage applications in Lealman. [5] |
| St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport nearby | St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport sits in unincorporated Pinellas County adjacent to Pinellas Park, which borders Lealman to the north. The airport covers about 1,900 acres and its operations and tenants support more than 3,000 jobs. [6],[7] |
| Vacant lots that got a home on the tax roll in 2025 | 18 recorded with new-construction evidence. [1] |
| 2026 so far (Jan-Sep) | County-level for Pinellas County: 224 recorded vacant-lot sales; median $279,000. [1] |

What moves the price in Lealman
A CRA can change what a lot is worth to redevelop
Set up in 2015 as the first community redevelopment area in unincorporated Pinellas County, Lealman's CRA adopted a 30-year plan in 2016 and runs on a Tax Increment Financing district that routes future tax growth into a local trust fund. Owners inside the boundary can also draw on Residential and Commercial Improvement Grants. A parcel inside that line can carry incentives a near-identical lot just outside it does not. [4]
This is infill land, not a rural subdivision
Sitting inside the built-up corridor between St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park pushes the median just value here to $99,100, well above the rural Pasco CDPs covered elsewhere in this wave. Most vacant residential land in this scope still falls into patio-home lots, 56% of the 191 lots, a narrower size band than a rural subdivision typically shows. [1]
Permitting and utilities route through the county, not city hall
Applications here go to Pinellas County's Building and Development Review Services rather than a municipal office, and septic review falls to the county health department since Pinellas sits outside the 16 counties where the state handles that directly. Confirming which path applies, and whether a parcel already sits on a county water and sewer line, is part of pricing a lot here. [3],[5]
Six sales in 2025 is too small a sample to chart
This scope logged six qualifying arm's-length, single-parcel vacant-lot sales across all of 2025, not enough for a dependable median or price band. The roll's $99,100 just-value figure is the steadier number to lean on until more sales accumulate. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Lealman in these situations
You own a lot inside the CRA but never touched the grant programs
That's entirely normal, and it changes nothing about selling. The Residential and Commercial Improvement Grants exist for an owner who wants to build or renovate; skipping them has no bearing on whether a vacant lot can be sold. Title, access and utilities all get checked before we make an offer, and our inspection is the only condition, costing nothing if it doesn't pan out. [4]
Your deed references East Lealman instead of Lealman
That's expected on an older document. This area carried the East Lealman name until 2010, when it split into its own census-designated place. We trace ownership through the title company's search rather than relying on the name printed on the deed. [2]
You're not local and can't be there in person
No problem. 7% of this scope's recorded vacant-lot owners already list a mailing address outside Florida. We can move the whole transaction electronically, closing by mail through an independent title company, with funds sent by check or wire. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Lealman: common questions
Who actually handles permits and zoning for Lealman?
Pinellas County does, through its Building and Development Review Services department. Lealman has no mayor or city council of its own; it's a census-designated place inside the unincorporated county.
What is the Lealman CRA, and does it affect selling my lot?
The Lealman Community Redevelopment Area is a 2015 district, the first in unincorporated Pinellas County, with a 2016 redevelopment plan and Residential and Commercial Improvement Grants for owners who build or renovate. It does not change whether a vacant lot can be sold.
Does my Lealman lot need a well and septic system?
Pinellas County's health department, not the state's DEP, issues septic permits here. Many lots in this urban-infill area sit near county water and sewer lines, but check the specific parcel before assuming a connection.
Where's the going rate for a vacant lot in Lealman right now?
There isn't a solid one yet for 2025: the tax roll shows just six qualifying sales all year, too thin a sample to average into a trustworthy figure. For now, the $99,100 just-value number on the roll is the better anchor, understanding that it's an assessor's estimate, not a market price.
I moved away years ago. Does that complicate selling this lot?
Not at all; it's common here. 7% of this scope's owners already list an address outside Florida on the tax roll. We send paperwork for e-signature, close through an independent title company by mail, and pay out by check or wire.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- 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 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 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 18 Pinellas County block groups that the 2020 Census assigns to the Lealman CDP (Census boundaries, not city limits), addressed St. Petersburg. 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. County-level figures are used on this place page.
