Levy County

1. 01Can I live in an RV on my land?

   Yes, while building, with a permit. Up to 18 months.

   The most workable RV rule of the north Florida counties we cover. Renewable once with cause shown.

2. 02Mobile homes allowed?

   Yes in A/RR and FRR zoning, broadly.

   Levy is one of the friendliest counties in Florida for manufactured housing on acreage.

3. 03Minimum lot size to build?

   A/RR zoning: 1 dwelling per acre. FRR: 1 per 5 acres.

   FRR parcels under 5 acres created before 1992 are usually grandfathered. Verify the creation date.

4. 04Typical well depth

   60 to 120 feet, shallower toward the coast.

   Budget $5,500 to $8,500. Coastal fringe wells can hit sulfur water, a treatment system adds $1,500 to $3,000.

5. 05Septic reality

   Perc is good on the uplands, poor in the coastal flatwoods.

   The soil survey line between Jonesville sand and Waccasassa flats is the line between a $8,000 system and a $16,000 mound.

6. 06Power on the road?

   Central Florida Electric Cooperative on most county roads.

   Long private drives are common here. 1,000 feet of extension can exceed $10,000. Price it before you close.

7. 07Internet reality

   Starlink is the honest answer on most parcels.

   CFEC fiber is expanding from Chiefland outward, check the specific road.

8. 08Property taxes on raw land

   Roughly $80 to $300 per year per vacant acre lot.

   Greenbelt agricultural classification can cut taxes on 5+ acres with a bona fide ag use.

9. 09Road maintenance

   Limerock county roads, graded on a rotation.

   After a wet summer the rotation runs behind. A 4x4 is not required, but it is not a bad idea either.
