Selling Land in Indian River Park: What to Know

Indian River Park is an old plat in Mims, in unincorporated north Brevard County. It spreads over a wide area along US 1 and roads such as Aurantia Road, Blounts Ridge Road, Burkholm Road and Hog Valley Road, and some tracts back up to I-95. The county property appraiser lists about 2,390 parcels under the name, and about 1,050 of them are coded as vacant residential land. If you own one and want to sell, we can help.

EasyLotBuyer buys land in Indian River Park for cash. We make a cash offer within 24 hours, charge no fees or commissions, pay the closing costs, and can close in as few as 7 days. We also buy land with back taxes, liens, title issues or no road access, and land from heirs and estates.

What the plat is

Indian River Park is recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 33, of the Brevard County public records. Later replats and resubdivisions, such as the Replat of Section 17, cover parts of it. Most parcels are in Township 20 South, Range 34 East, with some in Range 35 East. Your parcel ID shows this: a number that starts with 20G-34 means Township 20, Range 34.

Parcel sizes vary a lot. Among the vacant parcels, the middle size is about 1.2 acres. Some are lots of a quarter acre or less, and some are tracts of 5 acres or more. All of Indian River Park is outside city limits, so Brevard County sets the zoning and building rules. Look up your lot on the Brevard County Property Appraiser site to see its size, legal description and map.

Roads, addresses and access

About 1,130 parcels in Indian River Park have no street address in the property appraiser's records. A parcel with no address may face a plat road that was never built, or no road at all. A road on the plat is not the same as a road you can drive on, or one the county maintains.

Section 62-102 of the Brevard County code says the county will not issue a building permit unless the lot abuts a public street that the county has accepted for maintenance. There are limited exceptions, such as some older lots with an approved access easement to a public street, and agreements that let owners build an unpaved road inside a county right-of-way at least 50 feet wide. Ask Brevard County before you plan a home on a lot with no address. If your lot has no road access, we still buy it.

Septic, wetlands and flood zones

Where there is no sewer, a home needs a septic system. DOH-Brevard takes septic permits, and its fee for a new system without a site evaluation is $510. If the lot lies in the Indian River Lagoon Protection Program area, a new system since January 1, 2024 must connect to sewer if available, or be a nitrogen-reducing system that removes at least 65 percent of the nitrogen. DOH-Brevard links a county map of these areas on its permits page.

Check the flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. Work in or near wetlands needs a permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District, and Brevard County Natural Resources reviews new homes for wetlands and asks for a survey of any wetland line. Gopher tortoises are protected in Florida, and moving them needs a permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Taxes and back taxes

The Brevard County Tax Collector mails tax bills around November 1, with a discount of up to 4 percent for early payment. Taxes become delinquent on April 1. Vacant lots can also carry set charges, such as county stormwater fees, which show below a bold line on the tax notice.

If taxes stay unpaid, the Tax Collector sells a tax certificate on the lot at a sale that starts on or before June 1. After two years, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed, and the Clerk sells the land online. You can redeem any time before a tax deed is issued. Check your bill on the Tax Collector's property tax page, and read our Brevard County back taxes guide. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
