Can I sell part of my property?

Question

I have almost 5 acres and want to sell part of the land.

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.
