North Port was platted by General Development Corporation beginning in the late 1950s and is now the largest city in Sarasota County by land area. It was sold lot-by-lot to buyers nationwide, most lots measuring roughly 80 by 125 feet, and tens of thousands of them are still vacant. Many owners live out of state or inherited their lots and simply want to sell.

North Port Issues We Handle
Annual non-ad valorem assessments. North Port bills vacant lots every year for road and drainage and other city services, on top of property taxes. Those costs add up for owners who never plan to build.
Flooding and drainage. Parts of North Port flooded after Hurricane Ian in 2022. We look at flood zones and drainage and still make an offer.
Environmental reviews. Some lots need protected-species or wetland review before building. We buy as-is and take on that work.

More About North Port Land
North Port is crossed by a network of waterways, including the Snover and Cocoplum waterways and Myakkahatchee Creek, and it is home to Warm Mineral Springs. In recent years, growth has accelerated with large new communities in the western part of the city and new I-75 access. Most vacant lots, however, are still the original platted residential lots scattered across the city.
What Affects the Value of a North Port Lot
- Location within the city and distance to I-75 interchanges like Toledo Blade and Sumter.
- Road condition and whether the street is paved.
- Utilities — city water and sewer availability vs. well and septic.
- Environmental review — Florida requires a survey for gopher tortoises before clearing, and some areas contain protected habitat.
- Annual assessments — road and drainage district and other non-ad valorem charges.
A Short History of North Port
North Port was incorporated in 1959 as North Port Charlotte, a General Development Corporation community, and changed its name to North Port in the 1970s. General Development sold lots nationwide with the promise of future homes, streets and canals. For decades the city grew slowly, leaving tens of thousands of lots vacant. That has changed: North Port has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the region, drawing builders and new residents.
North Port Areas and What Sets Them Apart
Central North Port. Along Price Boulevard, Sumter Boulevard and Toledo Blade Boulevard, with the most established neighborhoods, shopping and city services.
Waterway neighborhoods. Lots along the Snover, Cocoplum and other waterways. These freshwater canals are part of the city’s drainage system and don’t offer Gulf access.
Myakkahatchee Creek and Myakka River areas. Neighborhoods near these waterways, some of which flooded for weeks after Hurricane Ian in 2022.
Warm Mineral Springs area. Around the historic spring, with older neighborhoods and commercial land along US-41.
Wellen Park and the West Villages. Large master-planned communities in the western part of the city, home to CoolToday Park, the Atlanta Braves’ spring training ballpark. Development here has increased interest in surrounding land.
Eastern North Port. Far-flung lots on less-developed streets, many still unpaved or without utilities, where values are lowest.
Building on a North Port Lot
A buyer planning to build will look at whether city water and sewer are available (many areas still rely on wells and septic), the flood zone, required fill, environmental surveys such as for gopher tortoises, and city permitting timelines. Lots that need more work sell for less. We buy them as-is and handle all of this after closing.
Annual Costs of a North Port Lot
In addition to property taxes, North Port lots carry annual non-ad valorem assessments for services such as road and drainage and fire rescue, and these apply to vacant lots. For owners holding several lots, the combined bill can be substantial every year.
Common North Port Selling Situations

- Inherited lots owned by several siblings in different states.
- A lot that flooded after Hurricane Ian.
