Annual property taxes of $93.15. That is the carrying cost on this parcel, under $8 a month. Jackson County rural lots have low assessed values and the millage rate reflects that. Coastal Florida land at this price point typically runs five to ten times this tax bill. If you are buying to hold, to build a weekend retreat, or to land bank, the math works in your favor.

Compass Lake is a natural spring-fed lake known for clear water and fishing, and Compass Lake Hills is the residential community built around it. The lot sits in a quiet, low-density neighborhood with the lake just minutes away. This is panhandle Florida living near a real lake, not coastal Florida pricing for a coastal Florida lifestyle.

Alford sits in central Jackson County, Florida, about an hour west of Tallahassee and an hour northeast of Panama City Beach. I-10 is 15 minutes south. Marianna (the Jackson County seat) is 20 minutes northwest. The Gulf Coast beaches, Florida Caverns State Park, and the Apalachicola National Forest are all reachable as 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.

There is no homeowners association on this parcel. No dues, no committees, no approval processes. There is no time limit to build (per our research), so you can hold the land for as long as you want before deciding what to do with it. Future site-built home, manufactured home, weekend retreat. Your timeline, not someone else's. 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.
