Land for sale in Ocala, Florida

Ocala sits in central Florida, in Marion County, and is one of the areas with the most undeveloped land still on the market. Much of it lies outside city limits, in unincorporated county, which changes who issues the permit and which utilities reach the lot.

What to check on a lot in Ocala

A lot of what sells here is built on well and septic rather than city water and sewer. That is not a problem in itself, but it is a cost that belongs in the budget before you make an offer, not after.
