Land for sale in Palm Bay, Florida

  • The parcel's water table, which determines how much fill is needed and how many truckloads that is.
  • Whether water and sewer run to the street: much of the city is still built on well and septic.
  • Whether the access road is paved and maintained by the city.
  • The parcel's flood zone on FEMA's official map — in Brevard it changes street by street.
