💰 How Zoning Drives Land Value in Lehigh Acres
2025’s Most Valuable Zoning Types
| Zoning Code | Best For | Value Per Acre |
|---|---|---|
| RE-2 (Residential) | Single-family homes | 50,000−50,000−100,000 |
| CG (Commercial) | Retail/strip malls | 150,000−150,000−300,000 |
| PDD (Planned Development) | Mixed-use communities | 200,000−200,000−500,000 |
Shocking Example:
A 2-acre lot on Joel Blvd jumped from 25k to 25k to 425k after rezoning from agricultural to commercial!
📍 3-Step Process to Increase Your Land Value
Step 1: Research Your Current Zoning
✔ Check Lee County’s Zoning Map here
✔ Look for adjacent developments (Your land may qualify for “spot zoning”)
✔ Identify future growth corridors (SR-82 expansion areas are goldmines)
Step 2: Apply for Rezoning (When It Makes Sense)
📝 Typical Costs:
- Application fee: 1,200−1,200−2,500
- Attorney/consultant: 5,000−5,000−10,000
- Timeline: 4-12 months
💡 Pro Tip: Some zones like “RM-10” (Multi-family) can triple value with just a text amendment (cheaper than full rezoning).
Step 3: Sell or Develop Strategically
✔ Sell to developers if near growth areas
✔ Partner with builders if you want long-term profits
✔ Cash out fast if you need liquidity
