Building Information
READ THIS: We are not the Planning & Zoning department and while we try to answer common questions about what the property can be used for, we can't provide a yes or no answer for every circumstance. Below we provide helpful contact information to complete due diligence. Wild Domain Land or its affiliates make no warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied relative to usability, the exact location, desirability, or usefulness of the properties or boundary lines of the properties. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the condition of the property, the physical aspects of the land, its geographical location, accessibility, and correct acreage. All information contained herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer is required to complete Buyer's own due diligence prior to purchasing any property from Wild Domain Land or its affiliates.
No county deadline to begin building - the land may be held vacant indefinitely. Building permits follow standard Florida Building Code terms through the Putnam County Building Department.
R-2, Residential-2 - confirm the district for this parcel via the Putnam County Property Appraiser, (386) 329-0316.
Zoned R-2, Residential-2, under the Putnam County Land Development Code - a residential district expressly inclusive of mobile homes, alongside site-built and modular single-family housing. Minimum lot 7,500 sq ft with 25 ft front, 10 ft rear and side, and 20 ft corner setbacks, 35 ft height limit. Confirm the district for this parcel via the Putnam County Property Appraiser.
Yes. Single-family homes are a permitted use in the R-2 district - site-built, modular or manufactured - with a Florida Building Code permit through the Putnam County Building Department. Setbacks are 25 ft front, 10 ft rear, 10 ft side and 20 ft corner, with a 35 ft height limit.
Yes. Modular homes built to the Florida Building Code on a permanent foundation are permitted in R-2.
Yes - R-2 is one of Putnam County's mobile-home-inclusive districts. A manufactured home must be a HUD-code unit (post-June 1976); county permits are required BEFORE the home is delivered, set up or connected to any utility, and used homes pass a county checklist inspection first. Installation per the manufacturer's manual or Florida Rule 15C-1, with tie-downs to Florida standards.
Yes for HUD-code homes - mobile homes are a permitted use in the R-2 district, single-wide or double-wide, permitted and tied down to Florida standards. Homes built before June 30, 1976 without a HUD seal are prohibited from placement countywide, and used homes pass a county checklist inspection before the permit issues.
A tiny home built to the Florida Building Code, or a HUD-code manufactured unit, is permittable in R-2. Note the county treats PARK MODELS (400 sq ft or less) as seasonal or temporary quarters only - not a permanent dwelling - so a park model is not a path to full-time living here. Confirm your plan with the Building Department at (386) 329-0316.
A permitted driveway is required for lawful access from a county-maintained road. Confirm requirements with Putnam County at (386) 329-0316.
No. No building moratorium appears in the Putnam County Land Development Code.
Most parcels are outside FEMA-designated flood zones. Always confirm with the Putnam County GIS Map. or FEMA Flood Map Service before building.
Allowable Uses
No - Putnam County's code is categorical: an RV may never serve as a permanent residence in any zoning district, may not be attached to a foundation, and may not have permanent utility connections. Temporary paths exist during construction and for documented hardship.
Yes, by Temporary Use Permit. The county allows an RV on the lot for up to 60 days during land clearing for a planned home, then during construction - with all building permits for the home secured and construction starting within 90 days - for six months, extendable once by six months while construction is diligently proceeding. The RV must be self-contained or lawfully connected to power, water and septic, and RV use ends within 30 days of the home's final inspection.
Not on a vacant lot - Putnam County allows RV occupancy on vacant land only under a Temporary Use Permit tied to land clearing or active home construction. Once a home exists on the property, one self-contained guest RV may stay up to 14 consecutive days or 60 non-consecutive days per year without a permit. Plan this as a build-toward property, not a camp-first one. Details: Putnam County Planning & Zoning, (386) 329-0316.
The Putnam County code provides no allowance for camping on a vacant lot - camping here is an accessory to a home, not a use of raw land. Once a residence exists, short guest stays follow the county's temporary shelter rules. Plan this as a build-toward property. Details: Putnam County Planning & Zoning, (386) 329-0316.
Hunting is not addressed in the Putnam County land use code, and a platted residential lot in an established community is not a hunting parcel. The public-land story nearby is real: the Ocala National Forest's roughly 382,000 acres (deer, turkey, hog), Etoniah Creek State Forest and Rice Creek Conservation Area are all within a short drive. For seasons, licences, quota permits and regulations refer to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at myfwc.com.

The county code is silent on small residential wind systems - permitting runs through the Florida Building Code as a structure, and Florida's wind design requirements make small turbines uncommon. Confirm with the Building Department at (386) 329-0316 before planning one.
