Annual property taxes of $78.77, per the 2025 Jackson County certified roll. That is under $7 a month to carry more than a full acre. Jackson County rural lots have low assessed values and the millage reflects it. Coastal Florida land at this price point typically runs five to ten times this tax bill. Whether you are buying to hold, to build later, or to land bank, the carrying cost is close to zero.

Compass Lake Hills is built around Compass Lake, a natural spring-fed lake known for clear water and fishing, and this parcel also sits near McCormick Lake on the community's east side. You get panhandle Florida lake living from a quiet wooded street, without coastal Florida pricing. Fish in the morning, back on your own acre by lunch.

Alford sits in central Jackson County, Florida, about an hour west of Tallahassee and an hour northeast of Panama City Beach. I-10 is roughly 15 minutes south. Marianna, the Jackson County seat, is about 20 minutes northwest, with Florida Caverns State Park at its edge. The Gulf Coast beaches and the Apalachicola National Forest are day trips. You are not in a remote corner of Florida. You are within range of the panhandle's main employment centers, airports, and recreation.

The lot fronts Bitterroot Street, a quiet dirt road, but paved Fairview Road is about 30 seconds away, so you get the privacy of an interior wooded street without a long unpaved drive. There is no homeowners association: no dues, no committees, no approval processes. There is no time limit to build (per our research), so you can hold the land as long as you want before deciding what to do with it. RV use is not permitted per our research, so this is a "future build / hold" parcel rather than a "park your camper this weekend" parcel. Buyer to confirm intended use with Jackson County before purchase.
