Washington County is home to Sunny Hills, a large pre-platted lot subdivision. The Deltona Corporation started it in the late 1960s as a planned city for about 60,000 people on roughly 25,000 acres. Most of it was never built: estimates cite about 619 homes along some 220 miles of streets. That leaves a great many vacant lots in private hands. The rest of the county is rolling pine and hardwood country around Chipley and Vernon.

What Should You Know About the Washington County Land Market?

Sunny Hills

Sunny Hills is an unincorporated community on State Road 77, south of Chipley. It was laid out as a full city, so it has a large street grid and a golf course, the Sunny Hills Golf and Country Club, but most streets have no houses. For lot owners, that means a large supply of similar vacant lots. Value depends heavily on whether a lot is on a street near existing homes and paved access or deep in an empty section.

Who Regulates Your Land

The Washington County Planning Department regulates land development in unincorporated Washington County, including Sunny Hills, and also in the towns of Caryville, Ebro and Wausau and the city of Vernon. It works under the county’s Land Development Code, and the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map are posted online. Chipley handles development inside its own city limits.

Flood Maps and Karst

The county says flood maps are maintained by the Northwest Florida Water Management District and advises buyers to contact the Planning Department before purchase to verify flood information. The area’s limestone geology shows at Falling Waters State Park, about 3 miles south of Chipley, where a 73-foot waterfall, the highest in Florida, drops into a 100-foot sinkhole. Sinks and depressions can affect where a home or septic system can go.
