West Lehigh Acres Lots for Sale

Callers looking at vacant land for sale in Lehigh Acres on the west side of this grid still need a STRAP. Call 239-688-7201 with the street.

I’m Sean Kaptaine, a Florida land investor. West Lehigh Acres is a cut of unincorporated Lee County, closer to Fort Myers on the map than the Hendry line. It is not its own city.

West Lehigh Acres lots for sale

I use West Lehigh Acres when a caller is on that side of this grid and does not have the STRAP yet. Name Lee Boulevard, Homestead Road, or the nearest paved street so we are on the same pin. Those road names are a start. They are not a substitute for the Property Appraiser record.

West-side calls are still mostly recorded quarter-acre lots. Some streets already have houses on both sides. Some are still woods and a sand shoulder. Both are West Lehigh Acres if that is how you found the lot. Keep the file on one STRAP.

I sell lots I buy in this cut by owner. I advertise other owners’ lots. I take offers calls. You sell your own land if we advertise it.

Water and sewer on West Lehigh Acres lots

FGUA acquired the Lehigh Acres utility system in December 2003. Central water and sewer reach parts of this grid. A neighboring meter is a clue. It is not your tap. Ask FGUA for that street.

Lots without a tap still use a well and a septic system. Florida DEP says county health department offices do the permitting and inspection for septic tanks. Confirm that path for the STRAP. Power poles along the road are a clue, not a hookup.

Zoning and access on a West Lehigh Acres lot

Lee County Community Development holds zoning for unincorporated land, including West Lehigh Acres. Read the classification on that pin. Say whether you want a house, a shop, or only to hold the lot so we read the same code path.

Access is the walk from pavement to the corner. County-maintained pavement and a two-track are different answers. Pull the flood zone on the STRAP. Pull the tax bill and the LA-MSID assessment. LA-MSID was established June 10, 2015, and maintains the canal system across this grid, west side included.

Start with the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. Then call 239-688-7201 with the STRAP or the west-side street.

West Lehigh Acres is still the same Census CDP as the rest of this grid. The west cut is only how I start the call. Bring the STRAP as soon as you have it so we leave the road names behind.

If the street already has houses, walk it anyway. Meter, pole, and pavement on the neighbor’s lot are clues. Your tap, your well, and your septic are separate files. I will tell you what I see. FGUA and the county health department confirm it.

Owners advertising west-side lots should send street photos and the tax bill. Buyers should say whether they want a lot among houses or a still-open pin. I keep those as different conversations.

Call 239-688-7201 with the STRAP or the west-side street. I answer as Sean Kaptaine, Florida land investor.

West Lehigh Acres lots still need the same five files: zoning, flood, access, water/sewage, and the tax bill. I walk what I can see. Lee County, FGUA, the health department, FEMA maps, and LA-MSID finish it.

If you already have a survey, say so. I still start from the Property Appraiser STRAP so the acreage on any page matches the county.

Lee Boulevard and Homestead Road are west-side starts I hear on the phone. They are not zoning maps. After the road name, we pull the STRAP and we stay on that pin until the walk, the tap question, and the tax bill are aligned.

LA-MSID’s Harns Marsh page places the marsh off Sunshine Boulevard in Lehigh Acres. On this grid that is northwest, not an east-side pin. It is a district stormwater facility, not a listed lot.

West Lehigh Acres is still unincorporated. There is no west-side city hall. Lee County holds zoning and the property record. FGUA holds the tap question. LA-MSID holds the canal assessment. I hold the phone. Call 239-688-7201 and we will put those files on one STRAP.
