This depends on whether your municipality will allow you to subdivide your property. Speak with your township first.

Yes, you can sell part of your property in South Carolina and throughout Florida, but the process requires a legal subdivision of the parcel before you can convey a portion independently.
In Citrus County and across Florida, a portion of a parcel cannot be sold separately until it has its own legal description and parcel identification number assigned by the county property appraiser. That process typically involves hiring a licensed surveyor to create a boundary survey and legal description of the proposed parcel, confirming that the proposed split complies with local zoning regulations (minimum lot size, frontage requirements, setback rules), and filing the appropriate documents with the county planning or building department.
Some jurisdictions require a formal subdivision plat; others allow a simpler administrative lot split for parcels meeting certain criteria. The distinction matters because a full platting process is more time-consuming and expensive than an administrative split. Before you engage a surveyor, call the Citrus County or relevant county planning department and describe the parcel and proposed split. They can tell you which process applies to your situation and what the timeline and costs look like. A real estate attorney should review the split documentation and ensure the new parcel can be conveyed with a clear, marketable title.

Yes, but it depends on zoning laws and your county’s approval for subdividing land. In Southwest Florida, you’d need a land survey, potential re-platting, and county sign-off. It’s a detailed process—but definitely possible.
Hi. Please do this first step. Call the locale property accesor or appraiser and ask them if the property is available to split and if so will it be buildable. If the answer is yes, you will need to contact a survey company to assist. You do not want to sell a piece of land that will not be usable to the buyer. Always use a professional Title Agency. Do not try to do a deed on your home. I have seen nighmares arise when not using a title agency.
Hello, Each county/city has guidelines on dividing up a property. So the first thing to do is to call the county/city and see what these requirements would be. Or if you prefer, you can contact a survey company and they will help you as well.
