Building in Tampa: what to know
Much of the Tampa Bay area is low and near the water, so the lot's flood zone can change the foundation height and the insurance the home needs. Check it before you buy, and price your windows and roof to Florida's wind requirements.
Before you buy the lot
- Check the lot's flood zone and the insurance it will need
- Get plans and a line-item budget priced to Florida wind requirements
- Check recent sales of new homes nearby to set your sale price
