We buy vacant lots across Marion County, in all three of the big Deltona subdivisions.
Marion County carries three enormous mid-century platted communities: Marion Oaks, Silver Springs Shores, which covers roughly 22,000 acres near Ocala, and Rainbow Lakes Estates. The Deltona Corporation platted and sold them decades ago, and thousands of those lots have never had anything built on them.
We buy with our own funds. No listing, no showings, no waiting on a mortgage, and no commission taken off what you walk away with. Tell us where the lot is, we research it, and we send a written offer, usually within 48 hours.
No commissions. No agent fees. We pay the closing costs.
Why Marion County lots sit unsold
Ocala sits at the top of sinkhole alley
Marion is the northern end of the limestone corridor that insurers call sinkhole alley, running down through Citrus, Hernando and Pasco. Limestone near the surface dissolves over time and creates voids. It rarely stops a sale outright, but it complicates insurance and it makes cautious buyers hesitate, which is part of why so many lots here change hands slowly or not at all.
Scattered lots in very large subdivisions
Marion Oaks and Silver Springs Shores are big enough that vacant lots are scattered unpredictably among built homes. A single empty lot on an otherwise developed street has a narrow buyer pool: mostly the neighbour, or a builder who happens to want that block. Meanwhile the tax bill arrives every year. Owners who inherited one of these often have no idea where it even is.
We do not need a survey, a perc, or a clean insurance quote. If the parcel is in Marion County we will look at it.
What it costs to sell Marion County land the traditional way
Florida charges a uniform documentary stamp tax on the deed, and the seller traditionally pays it.
| Listing With An Agent | SOLD To Clever Land Buyers LLC | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission: | Around 6%, if an agent will take a vacant lot listing at all | NONE |
| Documentary stamp tax: | 70¢ per $100 of price, traditionally paid by the seller | We cover it |
| Title work and recording: | Yours to pay | We cover it |
| Sinkhole disclosure: | Slows buyers and complicates insurance across the Ocala corridor | We price it in and still buy |
| Survey: | A buyer who wants to build will usually require one, at your cost | Not needed |
| Days until sold: | 150+ days is routine, and platted subdivision lots often sit for years | 90 days or less |
| Property tax while you wait: | Yours, with the two year tax deed clock running | Stops at closing |
Rates change. Confirm current figures with the county or your title company before relying on them.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Our offer is a net offer.

Marion County questions we get most
Q:My lot is in a sinkhole area. Does that stop the sale?
A: Not with us. Marion sits at the top of the limestone corridor insurers call sinkhole alley. It rarely blocks a sale outright but it complicates insurance and makes retail buyers hesitate, which is part of why lots here move slowly. We price it in.
Q:I inherited a lot in Marion Oaks and do not know where it is.
A: That is very common and not a problem. Send us the parcel ID or tax account number from the tax bill, or even just an old deed, and we can locate it. You do not need to visit Florida at any point.
Q:Do I need a survey before selling?
A: Not to sell to us. A buyer who wants to build will usually want one, at your cost, which is one more reason these lots stall on the open market. We do not require it.
Q:How long before unpaid taxes cost me the lot?
A: Florida taxes are delinquent 1 April and a certificate is sold by 1 June. Two years after delinquency the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed and force your lot to auction. Selling before that clock runs out almost always leaves you with more.
