Most vacant lots in Flagler County are in Palm Coast, a pre-platted community that ITT Community Development Corporation began building in 1969. ITT’s original plan called for 48,000 home sites on about 42,000 acres, and the city was incorporated on December 31, 1999. Today the City of Palm Coast supplies water and sewer to most of those lots, and it maintains about 1,000 miles of roadside drainage swales. Outside Palm Coast, the county was built on farming, timber and ranching.

What Should You Know About the Flagler County Land Market?

Palm Coast utilities

ITT built Palm Coast’s water and sewer lines and sold them to Allete in 1996, and the City of Palm Coast took them over in 2003. The city’s guide for new builders says the city supplies water and sewer and that septic systems are required only in very rare cases. Some areas use a PEP tank, a city-owned pre-treatment pumping system, instead of gravity sewer, and the city publishes a map and section list showing which lots use one.

The city’s 2035 Comprehensive Plan directs it to eliminate existing septic systems on lots under one acre. It allows septic for single-family homes on lots over one acre of contiguous upland in Greenbelt areas, if approved. Residential building without site plan or subdivision approval must connect to city water when service is within 150 feet.

Drainage and canals

Palm Coast’s water management system includes 46 miles of freshwater canals and 23 miles of saltwater canals, plus about 1,000 miles of roadside swales. The city’s plan says the stormwater system was designed to handle build-out of all the platted lots. Before a home is built, a city survey crew designs the lot’s swale and culvert, and the site plan has to show elevations and drainage.

Building on a Palm Coast lot

The city does not allow clearing or tree removal until the building permit is issued. If gopher tortoises or burrows are found during review, the contractor must hire an authorized gopher tortoise agent.

Coast and rural west

Flagler County has 18 miles of Atlantic coastline, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Matanzas River and Pellicer Creek, and more than 40 preserves and parks, including Graham Swamp Preserve. The county was created in 1917 from parts of Volusia and St. Johns counties, and its economy was built on cabbage and potato farming, timber and ranching.

What Affects Land Value in Flagler County?

• Palm Coast section and sewer type. Gravity sewer versus a PEP tank changes build cost.
• Canal frontage. Saltwater and freshwater canal lots draw different buyers than interior lots.
• Flood zone and elevation. Low or canal-front lots may need fill and flood insurance.
• Trees, tortoises and clearing. Heavily wooded lots or lots with burrows cost more to prepare.
• Utility connection fees. Fees owed to connect water and sewer affect what a builder will pay.
• Location. Coastal and Hammock land is a different market from rural farm and timber land.
• Title and taxes. Long-held lots often have tax certificates or heir issues.
