Jackson County is the only county in Florida that borders both Georgia and Alabama, with about 918 square miles of land. It is limestone country: the Chipola River runs underground for a stretch, and Florida Caverns State Park near Marianna has the only air-filled caves in a Florida state park open to the public. The county also takes an unusual approach to land use. It does not use traditional zoning.

What Should You Know About the Jackson County Land Market?

No Traditional Zoning

The Jackson County Planning Division states that the county “does not utilize traditional zoning and does not have zoning districts.” Instead, the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and its land use categories determine what development fits a parcel, and the Land Development Code carries out those policies. That means the land use category on the Future Land Use Map is the first thing to check for unincorporated land. Each of the county’s 11 incorporated municipalities handles land inside its own limits.

Rivers, Lakes and Karst

The Chipola River forms in north-central Jackson County and flows south past Florida Caverns State Park. Lake Seminole was created by the Jim Woodruff Dam in 1952, and the dam’s outflow becomes the Apalachicola River, which forms the county’s eastern line with Gadsden County. Compass Lake and Ocheesee Pond are other notable water bodies. Unincorporated Jackson County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, so flood zones matter for any building plans.

Hurricane Michael

Michael reached Jackson County in October 2018 with a 102 mph gust recorded at Marianna. About 400 buildings were destroyed and 600 more had major damage in the county, and the storm damaged more than 2.8 million acres of forest across the region.

Karst features. Sinks and springs on or near the parcel.
