UPDATED INFORMATION ON 1/3/2025 - ''On January 2, 2025, at 8: 42 a. m. and January 3, 2025, at 8: 36 a. m. , I spoke with the Bradford County Planning and Zoning Division in Starke, Florida. He informed me that the parcel can be divided into a minimum of three half-acre plots, within a range of 3- 9 half acre plots, which would be considered minor zoning alterations. There is a $75 application fee for this request. For larger subdivisions, additional zoning requirements will apply.
A portion of the larger parcel for sale with this parcel included can be researched at MLS # 2061381 - The adjacent property lies within Flood Zone A, but development is still possible with a 1-foot elevation for dwellings, though a flood elevation certificate will be necessary.
The recap letter detailing our conversation is included in the document tab provided by the planning and zoning representative, along with an application for those interested in creating a family multi-generational compound. Please confirm with planning and zoning the application and information found in the document tab provided suits your specific needs. If not, kindly ask for the correct application and they are all too happy to provide supporting documentation.
Public city water is available in the area, and it is recommended checking with the Town of Lawtey Public Works Department regarding public sewer service. If you are interested, please verify the proper procedure for connecting to this public service instead of relying on onsite septic systems.
