|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Estate parcel (3-5 acres) (140,000–210,000 sq ft): 35% of vacant lots; next, 5-acre ranchette at 16%. Median lot: 4.04 acre (175,980 sq ft). [1] |

| Who bought lots in 2025 | Companies made 6% of those purchases; individuals made the rest [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 13% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Florida (most often GA, NC, MI) [1] |
| County jurisdiction applies | Florida's official list does not identify Wellborn as an incorporated municipality, so Suwannee County handles land-use, floodplain and building review. [2],[3],[4] |
| Public water has a limited footprint | A June 2025 DEP survey of the CR 136 plant counted 17 service connections and 125 people served, with two groundwater wells and 504,000 gallons per day of design capacity. [5] |
| The interchange has a sewer project | The I-75/CR 136 project was funded to remove about 32 commercial septic systems and build collection, lift-station and treatment infrastructure on both sides of I-75. [6] |
| Utility funding exceeds $3 million | The wastewater work plan combines a $500,000 legislative grant with $2.78 million in springs funding and identifies a $550,000 county contribution. [6] |
| Rural lots still need two permits | Outside confirmed public service, a new well needs a water-management-district permit and a new septic system needs approval from Florida Health in Suwannee County. [7],[8] |
| County home fees are itemized | The October 22, 2025 fee schedule lists a $25 application and separate $50 charges for a county driveway, 911 address and zoning on a single-family project. [9] |
| Waste decals follow dwellings | The county's 2026 solid-waste assessment starts at $250 for property with an assessed dwelling and supplies two parcel-specific decals; it is not described as a bare-land fee. [10] |
| Flood review remains parcel-specific | County Planning and Zoning confirms flood status by parcel ID, and the water district provides a public flood-hazard map application for the region. [11],[12] |
| Interstate 75 at SR 136 | FDOT identifies I-75 exit 439 at SR 136, the interchange named in Wellborn's wastewater work plan. That ramp serves the plan's commercial sewer area on both sides of I-75, unlike rural Wellborn lots still using well and septic. [13],[6] |

| FEMA high-risk flood-zone screen | About 9.2% of vacant lots in Wellborn have their center point in a FEMA high-risk flood zone (effective maps dated September 28, 2007 to November 2, 2018). This is map screening, not a determination; check FEMA's Map Service Center for your parcel. |

What moves the price in Wellborn
The CR 136 utility area does not cover every parcel
The CR 136 utility area does not make public water available to every parcel with a Wellborn mailing address. A June 2025 DEP inspection counted only 17 connections and 125 people served by the plant, despite a design capacity of 504,000 gallons per day and two groundwater wells. Those figures show both real infrastructure and a limited current service footprint. A buyer should confirm that a main reaches the exact lot and that a connection is permitted before pricing it as utility-served. Land beyond the system may still need a private well and septic system, which changes the construction budget. [5],[7],[8]
Interchange wastewater investment affects only its service area
Interchange wastewater investment can support commercial growth without turning the whole community into a sewer district. The county's work plan for I-75 and CR 136 combines a $500,000 legislative grant, $2.78 million in springs funding and a stated $550,000 county contribution. Its scope removes about 32 commercial septic systems, adds collection and a lift station, and connects both sides of I-75 to treatment infrastructure. That is important demand context near the interchange, but it is not proof of residential sewer on a distant road. The exact service boundary and connection path still control a vacant lot. [6]
Four-acre parcels still need access and a homesite
Four-acre size still needs legal access and a usable homesite. The median vacant parcel in this page's address-based scope is 4.04 acres, and estate parcel (3-5 acres)s make up 35% of the residential vacant inventory. County review covers land use and flood status, while road authority decides driveway approval. The October 22, 2025 schedule lists a $25 application and $50 each for county driveway, address and zoning items before the main home-permit charge. Power extension, clearing, drainage, well and septic work can move the final land value far more than acreage alone. [1],[3],[9],[11]
Recent vacant sales need a utility adjustment
Recent sales need a utility and location adjustment before they guide an offer. The 2025 roll contains 17 qualifying single-parcel vacant sales in this scope. Their median was $80,000, and the middle half ran from $70,000–$87,500. A tract close to a confirmed CR 136 connection or the interchange is not directly comparable to acreage that needs a well, septic system and a long driveway. Flood status, frontage, easements and clearing also matter. We use the roll as a starting point, then inspect the parcel's actual access, utility path and title. [1],[5],[6],[7],[8]
Common situations
Selling land in Wellborn in these situations
Your lot is near a water line but has no meter
Yes. A lot can be sold without a meter or confirmed connection. The CR 136 plant serves a documented but limited set of connections, so proximity is not the same as availability. We check the exact utility path, road access and title before offering. If public service does not reach the parcel, we can still buy vacant land that needs a well, septic system or road work. Our land inspection is the only contingency, and failure costs the seller nothing. [5],[7],[8]
You own rural land away from the interchange
Yes. Land away from I-75 can still have value even though the major wastewater project targets the CR 136 interchange and commercial septic systems. A rural buyer will focus instead on frontage, deeded access, power, the well permit, septic feasibility and flood status. We evaluate those parcel facts rather than assuming the interchange system serves every address in the postal area. [6],[7],[8],[11]
You no longer want the yearly holding costs
Yes. Selling ends future property-tax and maintenance responsibility at closing. The county's solid-waste page says its $250 assessment is tied to assessed dwellings, not described as a blanket vacant-land charge, so use the actual tax bill for any non-ad valorem lines. Liens or back taxes can be paid from sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent. Remote owners can sign electronically or use a mail-away package and receive funds by check or wire. [10]

Questions
Selling land in Wellborn: common questions
Is Wellborn an incorporated town with its own permits?
No. Florida's official city-county list does not identify it as an incorporated municipality. Suwannee County Planning and Zoning therefore handles land-use and floodplain review, and the county Building Department issues construction permits. Utility, well and septic approvals remain separate.
Does the CR 136 water plant serve every Wellborn lot?
No. The June 2025 DEP survey counted 17 service connections and 125 people served, which is a limited footprint. Its 504,000-gallon-per-day design capacity does not prove a water main, meter or available connection at a specific parcel. Confirm service before valuing land as public-water property.
Does the I-75 sewer project reach rural residential land?
Not automatically. The official work plan focuses on the I-75/CR 136 interchange, about 32 commercial septic systems, a collection system, lift station and treatment plant. A parcel outside that service area may still need private well and septic permits even if its mailing city is Wellborn.
What permit fees come before building a rural house?
The county's October 22, 2025 schedule lists a $25 application and separate $50 charges for driveway, 911 address and zoning items. The main building permit, plan review, state surcharge, well, septic, power and site work add more. A state-road driveway uses a different approval path.
Does a vacant parcel pay the $250 waste assessment?
Not based on vacancy alone. The county says the 2026 assessment starts at $250 for property owners with assessed dwelling units, and each assessment receives two parcel-specific collection-site decals. Read the actual non-ad valorem section of the tax bill rather than assigning the residential charge to bare land.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- Should You Keep or Sell Your Vacant Land?
Keeping or selling vacant land is a comparison, not a rule. Put the current tax bill, assessments, upkeep, realistic use, possible net sale proceeds, and tax basis on the same page. Florida section 193.1554 can limit assessed-value increases for qualifying nonhomestead residential property, but it excludes school levies and a change of ownership or control generally resets the assessment to just value.[1] The calculator at /tools/holding-cost/ totals the costs you enter; it does not choose for you.
- 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 whose property address city is Wellborn, plus lots with no street address that sit in neighborhoods or survey sections where nearly all addressed parcels are Wellborn. 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 2, 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.
