About Land in Ocala Park Estates
Where it is
Ocala Park Estates sits northwest of downtown Ocala with Ocala mailing addresses in ZIP code 34482. Local real estate guides place it west of I-75 and north of US 27, with streets in the NW 50s and 60s, such as NW 61st Avenue, NW 60th Street and NW 65th Place. The World Equestrian Center, on NW 80th Avenue, is a short drive west, and I-75 is close by to the east.
An old plat with a new park
Ocala Park Estates was recorded in numbered units. A typical legal description reads “Ocala Park Estates Unit 1, Block 23, Lot 31,” with the plat recorded in Marion County Plat Book G, page 109, for Unit 1. The subdivision’s history is long. In 1963 the developer dedicated a parcel inside it to Marion County Parks and Recreation for a public park. That parcel sat vacant for decades until the county built a neighborhood park there in 2022, and Ocala Park Estates Park at 6371 NW 65th Street was formally opened with a ribbon cutting in July 2024. It has a playground, a picnic pavilion, a grill and an open play area.
Lots, zoning and builders
Lots vary, but MLS records show standard homesites of about 75 by 135 feet, a little over 10,000 square feet, and one recent double-lot listing measured about 20,000 square feet. Listings in the subdivision show R-1 single-family zoning, describe the area as having no HOA and no deed restrictions, and include new construction homes on scattered lots. Homes in the subdivision range from around 1970 to brand-new builds, so vacant lots sit among finished houses on many streets. Confirm current zoning for your parcel with Marion County Growth Services before you price it.
Well, septic and lot size rules
Ask the water utility for your street whether central water or sewer is available. Where it is not, a builder needs a private well and a septic system. Florida’s septic law generally requires at least one-half acre when a private well is used, and allows up to four lots per acre when public water serves the lot. Lots platted before January 1, 1972 are not subject to those lot size requirements and instead follow flow and setback limits. Because the subdivision dates to at least 1963, the platting date of your unit can make a real difference to what a builder can do with a single lot. The state onsite sewage program can tell you how your lot is treated.
Springs protection also matters in Marion County. Silver Springs is one of Florida’s Outstanding Florida Springs with a basin management action plan (BMAP). According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, since July 1, 2023 a new septic system on a lot of one acre or less inside a springs BMAP, where central sewer is not available, must be an enhanced nutrient-reducing system. DEP is also updating the Silver Springs and Rainbow Spring Group BMAP. Check DEP’s map to see whether your lot falls inside the boundary.
Roads, assessments and city or county
Marion County runs more than 60 special taxing and benefit units. For road projects, the county says every property that benefits from a road and drainage improvement can be assessed, so look at your tax bill for any non-ad valorem line before you sell. Also confirm whether your parcel is in unincorporated Marion County or inside Ocala city limits, because that decides whose zoning, permits and utility rules apply. The property appraiser record shows the taxing district.
Growth around it
Marion County grew from 375,908 residents in the 2020 Census to an estimated 442,660 in July 2025. That growth is one reason builders keep looking at vacant homesites in older platted subdivisions near Ocala, including this one.

Common Ocala Park Estates Selling Situations
- A lot held for decades. Many owners bought long ago and never built. We buy as-is, and you do not need to visit.
- Inherited lots. A parent’s lot may need probate or a summary administration before it can be sold. See selling inherited land in Florida and selling probate land.
- Back taxes. Florida taxes are due November 1 and delinquent April 1, and a certificate holder can apply for a tax deed two years after April 1 of the year the certificate was issued. Our tax deed deadline calculator estimates your window, and our page on selling land with back taxes explains your options.
- Code cases for overgrowth, dumping or an abandoned structure. See selling land with code liens.
- No usable road. If the lot fronts an unopened right-of-way, see how we buy landlocked land.

Where is Ocala Park Estates?
It is in northwest Marion County with Ocala mailing addresses in ZIP code 34482, near I-75 and US 27 and a short drive from the World Equestrian Center.
How old is Ocala Park Estates?
It dates to at least 1963, when the developer dedicated a park parcel inside the subdivision to Marion County. The county built Ocala Park Estates Park on that parcel in 2022.
Is there an HOA in Ocala Park Estates?
Listings in the subdivision describe it as having no HOA and no deed restrictions. Check your tax bill for any county assessments, which are separate from HOA dues.
Can I build on a single Ocala Park Estates lot?
It depends on zoning, water and sewer availability, septic rules and when your unit was platted. Lots platted before 1972 are treated differently under Florida’s septic law, so check with the state onsite sewage program and the county.

Can I sell my lot if I have never seen it?
Yes. We review lots remotely from county records, and you can sign closing documents with a mobile notary through a Florida title company.
Can I sell if the taxes are behind?
