What moves the price in Pomona Park
One-acre homesites still face a two-home cap
The median empty lot is about an acre, but the comprehensive plan still caps low-density residential land at two homes per net acre. one-acre homesites are 37% of the 878 vacant residential parcels. The median lot is 1.01 acres, about 44,000 square feet, so a larger tract does not automatically carry unlimited density. The same plan requires a 75-foot buffer from lakes, other surface waters, and conservation land for residential development. That protected strip can reduce the usable building area on a shoreline parcel. [3],[1]
The plan gives conflicting water-service statements
The plan describes an FGUA drinking-water system designed for 0.170 million gallons a day, with a level of service of 125 gallons per person per day. It also says the town owns no water plant or distribution system, has no service agreement with FGUA, and has no public potable-water treatment or distribution service currently available within its limits. Those statements do not establish a main or meter at a vacant lot. For wastewater, the plan says the whole local population uses septic tanks or other on-site systems and the town owns no centralized treatment plant. Water availability and septic feasibility therefore need parcel-specific checks. [3]
The forecast falls, and the plan says no public service
The comprehensive plan's population forecast goes down, not up. Shimberg Center figures in the plan, marked there as Shimberg 2023, list 784 people in 2020, 770 in 2025, 735 in 2030, and 697 in 2035. Its demand table falls from 0.098 million gallons a day in 2020 to 0.087 in 2035. The same plan places the town in a Water Resource Caution Area and says public potable-water treatment and distribution are not currently available within town limits, with no plans to provide that service during the planning period. Those statements do not prove a water main reaches a particular vacant lot. [3]
Lake Broward stage and the shoreline buffer
Lake Broward's flood stage and a 75-foot shoreline buffer both limit a waterfront build. Flood Insurance Study 12107CV000A prints a 1-percent stillwater stage of 41.4 feet NAVD88 for that lake, 40.0 feet at the 10-percent level, and 42.1 feet at the 0.2-percent level. The study says floods on this lake can build over several wet years, not only in one storm. The town plan requires a 75-foot buffer from lakes and other surface waters for residential development. If an entire parcel is conservation land, the house and septic tank must sit at least 1 foot above the 100-year floodplain shown on FEMA maps. [6],[3]
What empty lots actually sold for in 2025
The median cash price for a vacant lot in calendar year 2025 was $20,000. That median is 23 one-parcel sales of land that was empty at the sale and still empty on January 1, 2026. The central half of those prices falls between $16,800–$30,000. On the roll, the median just value of a vacant lot is $15,200, and the central half of those values sits at $7,100–$18,400. The tax figure is not the cash price. A shoreline buffer that eats the building pad, a conservation parcel that must lift the septic tank, and the lack of a town sewer main are the local reasons one lot clears a higher price than the next. [1],[3]
Common situations
Selling land in Pomona Park in these situations
You inherited a lot and the deed is still in the family
Yes. An heir can sell even when the deed is still in a relative's name. This place was incorporated in 1889 as Pomona, the papers were recorded on May 26, 1894, and the clerk's history says the name was "named after the Roman Goddess of fruit trees." A packing house opened on the north end in 1913, and many grove owners left after the freeze of 1895. In 1945 the state added a second word to the old name because mail was getting mixed up with another Florida town. If a lien or back taxes are on the land, they can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [2]
The lot has no water line and no sewer
Yes. A lot with no confirmed water line and no sewer can be sold for cash, including land that still needs road work. The plan describes an FGUA system but later says public potable-water treatment and distribution are not currently available within town limits. The town does not collect or treat liquid waste, so a future home needs an approved on-site system. Where the whole parcel is conservation land, a new septic tank must sit at least 1 foot above the 100-year floodplain. We check utilities, access, and title before offering. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [3]
The ground touches Lake Broward or the floodplain
Yes. A lot on Lake Broward, or in the mapped floodplain, can be sold. The flood study puts that lake's 1-percent stillwater stage at 41.4 feet NAVD88 and says high water can build over several rainy years. The town plan keeps residential development 75 feet from lakes and other surface waters and bars a septic permit where the system would harm Lake Broward or a drinking-water well. The town participates in the flood insurance program as community 120418. Those limits affect building, but you do not have to raise a pad or install a tank before the lot changes hands. [6],[3],[7]
You live in another state and have never visited
Yes. You can sell from another state without a trip to the lot. 74% of vacant-lot owners get their tax mail in Florida, 26% get it in another state, and foreign addresses account for 0%. Papers can be signed electronically. A mail-away closing is available, and payment can be by check or wire. You do not have to stand on the parcel before the closing packet goes out. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Pomona Park: common questions
Can I sell my Pomona Park lot if it has no sewer hookup?
Yes. The empty lot can change hands before anyone installs a septic tank or confirms a water connection. The comprehensive plan says the whole local population uses individual septic tanks or other on-site systems, and the town does not collect or treat liquid waste. It describes an FGUA water system but later says public water treatment and distribution are not currently available within town limits. Those facts affect construction cost, not whether vacant land can be sold.
Does every Pomona Park lot have an FGUA water connection?
No. The plan describes an FGUA potable-water system designed for 0.170 million gallons a day, but it later says public water treatment and distribution are not currently available within town limits. It also says the town owns no water plant or distribution system and has no service agreement with FGUA. Those conflicting statements do not establish a main, meter, or paid connection at any particular vacant parcel.
Who issues the building permit, the town or the county?
Start with the town office for land inside the municipal limits. Putnam County lists Pomona Park among places with no interlocal building-services agreement and directs in-town permit questions to 1775 US Highway 17 South. For land outside the limits, county planning and building rules apply. Confirm the parcel boundary before choosing the permitting office.
What flood number applies to Lake Broward?
The countywide flood study prints 41.4 feet NAVD88 as Lake Broward's 1-percent stillwater stage. The 10-percent stage is 40.0 feet and the 0.2-percent stage is 42.1 feet, all on NAVD88, and the countywide shift from the older NGVD29 datum is minus 0.94 feet. OpenFEMA lists community 120418 as participating, with the effective map dated February 2, 2012. That stage is the lake's number. It is not a substitute for the panel and the ground elevation on one parcel.
Can I put more than two homes on a one-acre lot in Pomona Park?
Not under the plan's low-density residential category. That category allows no more than two homes per net acre, even though the tax roll's common vacant parcel is about an acre. A lake or conservation buffer can reduce the usable area further: the plan requires 75 feet between residential development and lakes, other surface waters, or conservation land.
Does a vacant lot get the county garbage assessment?
The property appraiser page does not say that. It says the solid-waste assessment applies to residential units and is levied on residents here the same way it is levied on unincorporated homes, covering landfill improvements, garbage collection, and recycling. It does not print a dollar amount, and it does not say an empty lot is charged. The tax collector places the assessment on the bill. Read that bill for the parcel you own rather than assuming a vacant acre is on the same line as a house.

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 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 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 Pomona Park. 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 3, 2026. Holding-cost estimates use 2025 taxable values and 2025 millage for FDOR vacant-residential code 000 parcels. They cover ad valorem taxes only, not a parcel-specific bill or non-ad valorem assessments. 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.
