If you’ve ever searched “can I sell part of my land to my neighbor in Florida?”—you’re not alone. Maybe they asked about expanding their yard. Maybe you have extra land you’re not using. Either way, selling just a portion of your property can be a smart move.
At UNITY, we’ve helped many Florida landowners navigate this exact situation. And yes—you can sell part of your land. In fact, UNITY buys partial parcels directly, not just whole lots. The key is knowing how the process works—and what to watch out for—so you feel confident every step of the way.
Start by checking two things:
If you're unsure where to begin, UNITY can help you check zoning, survey requirements, and sale feasibility—at no cost to you.
Before you can sell part of your land, a surveyor needs to define and map the exact portion being sold. This includes:
Without this, you can’t draft a valid deed or close the sale.
Even if you're selling to a friend, treat this like a business transaction. You’ll need to agree on:
UNITY Tip: Document everything in writing. Clarity up front avoids confusion down the road.
With your survey complete and terms agreed, the next step is preparing:
These are typically prepared by a title company or real estate attorney. They’ll make sure your deed reflects the correct legal description and complies with Florida property law.
For a safe and official transfer:
At UNITY, we always use professional title partners for these steps—whether you're selling to a neighbor or to us.
If your neighbor passes on the offer, UNITY may still be able to help.

Q: Can I sell part of my property in Florida without subdividing?
A: You’ll likely need to go through a formal subdivision process, even for a small split. Check with your county’s planning department or let UNITY help guide you.
Q: Do I need a survey?
A: Yes. Florida law requires an updated survey showing the exact portion being sold.
Q: What if my land is mortgaged?
A: Your lender may need to approve the sale or issue a partial release. Skipping this step can void the transaction.
Q: Is selling to a neighbor easier than a normal sale?
A: It can be—but only if you follow the correct legal steps. It’s still a real estate transfer.
Q: Will UNITY buy just part of my land?
A: Yes! UNITY purchases partial parcels throughout Florida and can help you close fast and securely.
