Before you buy a lot

Before you buy a lot in the Orlando area

These six checks tell you what you can build on a lot and what it may cost. Each one ends with a next step.

Is the lot inside Orlando city limits?Many addresses with an Orlando mailing address are in unincorporated Orange County or in another city. Where the lot sits decides which office issues your building permit and which rules apply.Next step: enter the address in the City of Orlando address checker. Inside city limits, permits come from the City of Orlando Permitting Services Division. In unincorporated areas such as Wedgefield, they come from the Orange County Division of Building Safety.

How much of the lot can you build on?The total acreage is not the same as the area you can build on. Setbacks, easements, wetlands, and any deed restrictions or HOA rules can each reduce the space for the house, driveway and septic system.Next step: look at a survey of the lot and its recorded restrictions, or send us the parcel and we will check what is on record.

Are there wetlands on the lot?Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil or keeps it wet long enough to support plants that grow in wet soil. Building in them is limited. In Orange County, a parcel with wetlands may need a wetland determination from the Environmental Protection Division before it can be developed.Next step: if the lot has low or wet areas, read Orange County’s wetland determination page and ask about it before you buy.

Is the lot in a flood zone?Flood zones are areas FEMA maps by flood risk. They are separate from wetlands, and a lot can have one without the other. A flood zone can affect how high the floor of the home has to be and whether your lender requires flood insurance.Next step: look up the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center. The map is a starting point. A survey gives the exact elevations.

City water and sewer, or well and septic?If public water or sewer does not reach the lot, the home needs a private well, a septic system, or both. A septic system needs a permit and enough room on the lot, and it adds to the cost. In Orange County, the Florida Department of Health in Orange County permits septic systems.Next step: ask the water and sewer provider whether service is available at the address. We also check this in our lot evaluation.

Which of our plans will fit?The lot’s width, depth, setbacks and septic area set how large the home’s footprint can be, so acreage alone does not tell you which plan fits. Our plans run from 1,198 to 2,518 square feet, all single story.Next step: send us the address or parcel number and we will tell you which plans fit.

A map check or our lot evaluation is a first look. A survey, engineering, environmental review and permit approval still decide what can be built.

Cost

What affects the cost of building on your lot

The cost of building on your land depends on your lot and your plan. These are the main parts of the cost:

The home. The plan, its size and the finishes you choose.
Getting the lot ready. Clearing, fill, grading and the length of the driveway.
Utilities. Connecting to public water and sewer, or putting in a well and septic system.
Permits and impact fees. In Orange County, impact fees for transportation, fire, law enforcement, parks and schools are paid when the permit is issued. See Orange County’s residential impact fees page. Fees differ by location.
Work your parcel needs. Surveys, engineering, and any flood or wetland requirements.

What we need to give you an estimate: the address or parcel number of the lot. If you already have a plan or a size in mind, tell us that too. We price the site work for your lot separately from the house, so you can see both.

The $640,000 sale price for 18743 Overton Street covered the land and the finished home together. It is not a quote for building on land you already own.

Plans

Floor plans to start with

All fifteen of our plans are single story. These four cover a range of sizes. Which plans fit your lot depends on its width, setbacks and septic area, so we confirm the fit in the lot evaluation.

Questions

Common questions about building in the Orlando area

Can you review a lot before I buy it?

Yes. Send us the address or parcel number and we will check it for free, the same way we check a lot you already own. Our review is a first look. It does not replace a survey, engineering or permit approval.

How do I find out which office issues the building permit?

Enter the address in the City of Orlando address checker. If the lot is inside city limits, the City of Orlando Permitting Services Division issues the permit. If it is in unincorporated Orange County, the Orange County Division of Building Safety does. If the lot is in another city, that city’s building department handles it.

What costs are there besides the house?

Getting the lot ready, connecting utilities or adding a well and septic system, permits and impact fees, and any surveys or engineering the lot needs. We price the site work for your lot on its own line.

How do I know which floor plans fit my lot?

It depends on the lot’s width, depth, setbacks, easements and where a septic system would go, along with any deed restrictions or HOA rules. Send us the parcel and we will tell you which of our fifteen plans fit.

Are there Eastern Homes for sale in Orlando right now?

Not at the moment. Our Available Homes page lists every home we have for sale, with the town it is in. You can sign up there to get an email when a new home is listed.

How long does it take to build?

Typically about three months for permitting, then about six months of construction after the permit is issued. The city or county sets the permit timing, so it can be shorter or longer for your lot.

Do you build on land I already own?

Yes. About a quarter of what we build is on land the buyer already owns. Send us the address or parcel number to get started.
