    @12vLife Před rokem

    I own a residential lot in central Florida I picked up cheap a few years ago. It faces a nature preserve and is on a street with no houses. It's a great location near great parks, retail and close enough to major city centers. Its on a dirt road but the road is firm. I carved out a clearing and driveway I compacted with shell rock. I did some landscaping for privacy and put in a natural perimeter fence and even a small pond. It very private, secure and pretty with outdoor seating and sun sail shades. Because it has no house the 100x100 foot print feels like a huge oasis. I've off grid van life camped on the lot many nights in my converted van. I have a shallow well and I compost. My understanding about Florida Law is I cannot "live" on the lot long term as it does not have a dwelling, septic tank or an occupancy license. Though I think I could easily get a way with it as nobody would even know I'm there and so it would be very hard for 9-5 county code inspectors to prove I am doing anything wrong or even get a search warrant. Anyways, I am wondering If I can safely rent out the lot on the premise that renter will follow all the laws (wink-wink) and not make any permanent changes, sublease, use it for storage or run a business from it? The intention would be to plead ignorant to code or zoning enforcement if my tenant is ever reported. Assuming this sketchy business model is doable and works, sure I would think a certain type of person would rent a lot like this for $400/mo given any small apartment is going 3x that. Thoughts? Risks? I know if I ask the county they will just say NOPE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT , yet I see countless code and zoning violations within 3 miles of me.

    • @12vLife
      @12vLife Před rokem

      You can legally be on your land at any time. even over night. Code enforcement is not 24 hour monitoring, they have a normal life and job and can't afford to watch you. If your land is semi remote with no neighbors it's even harder for them to police. Where code enforcement usually gets people is if they build, park an RV, leave garbage, waste, cars or animals on your land... if you do none of that, its impossible for them to know for sure or serve you a citation. Around where I'm at I see boats, trucks, carports and RVs on high traffic vacant lots with no permits for years. Thankfully, In Florida now, code complaints require the name and address of the person complaining that is verified. Enforcement will then visit the property and if they can't get in, they call to coordinate a time with the owner to do a physical inspection in a week or so. In most cases opening up a building permit only makes the county aware that something is going on with your property and creates activity records forever adding you to the database, where they did not even have you in their radar before.

  • @Boc3phu5
    @Boc3phu5 Před 10 měsíci

    Start by scoping the area. Then build a fence. 6ft if you can. Then start to camp in it or build a storage shed on it to see if people will mess with it.

  • @qrm8772
    @qrm8772 Před 3 lety +1

    I hope the type of septic they want you to have isn't cost prohibitive.In areas around me,EPA approved septics are 40-60k if the ground perks. The well is another 15k.So with permits you have 75 k invested so you have to build a very expensive house yo justify these costs.The good news is you got the land almost free.
