Parkland Housing Guide: Home Age, Lot Size and Fees
Parkland grew one group of lots at a time, and the newest houses are built differently from the ones that came just before them. This guide shows what is built here: the kinds of homes, the lots and floor space, how old the homes are, what the Save Our Homes cap and association fees mean for an owner, and how long owners hold.
💡 Key Insights & Takeaways
- The median coded single-family parcel sits on a lot of 9,598 square feet and has 3,023 square feet of heated living area, which is the county's figure and runs lower than a listing's.
- Among listed coded single-family parcels, the median association fee is $390 a month, and it rises from $258 in plats whose median year built is before 2000 to $640 in plats built in 2014 or later.
- Of the 1,446 coded single-family parcels last transferred in the past two years, 46.7% moved on a nominal deed and not a sale, and the tax cap largely survives those deeds.
- The county sets the land value on 74.3% of coded single-family parcels with one of six exact rates per square foot, so the land line is a formula and not a land price.
- Of the 1,692 coded single-family parcels without a homestead exemption, 61.4% are held by an individual with a Florida mailing address, and 18.3% carry a corporate or LLC name.
The one-story share of Parkland's coded single-family homes fell to 28.5% for those built in the 2010s, then jumped to 96.0% for those built in 2023 and 2024 (n = 327), as of 22 October 2026. The newest homes are smaller, at a median 2,353 square feet against 3,281. The newest counts are a floor.

What kinds of homes are in Parkland?
Nearly all of them are coded single-family, and that code covers more than detached houses: 93.4% of the 12,166 residential parcels carry it. Table 1 shows the split by land-use code as of 22 October 2026.
Table 1. Parkland residential parcels by use, as of 22 October 2026.
| Use | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Coded single-family | 11,368 | 93.4% |
| Condominium | 436 | 3.6% |
| Multi-family | 1 | 0.0% |
| Vacant residential land | 361 | 3.0% |
| All residential parcels | 12,166 | 100.0% |
The count covers parcels with a residential land-use code and leaves out common-element parcels and parcels in other codes. A parcel is one lot as the county counts it, so these figures count lots, not the people who live in them. The one multi-family parcel is a single count and shows no pattern.
The single-family code does not say whether a home is detached, and the county's parcel data gives no count of attached homes. What it does show is the lot: 4.6% of coded single-family parcels sit on lots under 4,000 square feet (n = 11,368). The listing tags hint at what those small lots are. Among 129 listed parcels tagged townhouse, 96.1% sit on lots under 4,000 square feet, and among 2,716 listed parcels tagged single-family residence, 0.4% do. Both figures cover only parcels listed for sale up to 22 October 2026. Homes that sell more often are more likely to be in that group, and the direction of the bias is unknown, so take the figures as a hint and not as a count of attached homes.
The 436 condominium parcels have a median assessed value of $420,070 (n = 436), which is the county's estimate under the cap and not a price. The county's living-area field is blank for every condominium parcel, so no size is given for them. Before you assume a coded single-family home is detached, check its lot size and the home type on the listing.
How big are the lots and the houses?
The median lot is 9,598 square feet (n = 11,368), and 16.6% of coded single-family parcels sit on lots of 20,000 square feet or more. The median heated living area, the indoor floor space the county counts, is 3,023 square feet (n = 11,366), and 21.0% of parcels have 4,000 square feet or more. That area is on a different basis from the area on a listing. The listing's area is more than 20% higher than the county's on 82.0% of the homes that matched a listing, so do not set the two side by side.
Inside, the median home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (n = 9,209). Bedrooms are not recorded on 19.0% of coded single-family parcels (n = 11,368), so the bedroom figures rest on the parcels that record them. Of those, 39.5% have 4 bedrooms and 36.0% have 5 or more. The county's bathroom field holds whole numbers only, so a home recorded with 3 may also have a half bath, and 73.6% of the 9,208 parcels with a bathroom count record 3 or more.
Floors split almost evenly. Of 11,313 parcels with stories recorded, 54.2% are one story and 45.8% have two or more. The build year explains most of that split, as Table 2 shows below.
The lots differ between the city's two main ZIP codes. ZIP code 33067 holds 3,816 coded single-family parcels, and 1,580 of them sit on lots of 20,000 square feet or more. Lots under 4,000 square feet are 4.9% of the parcels in ZIP code 33067 and 4.5% of the 7,547 in ZIP code 33076. A ZIP code is a postal area and not a neighborhood, and the data has no neighborhood field.
The county's parcel data has no waterfront field, so no citywide waterfront figure exists. Among the 2,874 coded single-family parcels listed for sale up to 22 October 2026, 8.9% carry a waterfront marker in the listing's style field. The same bias applies as above. The marker does not say what water a home fronts, and it does not give the flood zone, so check the flood map for the exact home.
How old are the homes, and why are the newest ones different?
The median coded single-family parcel was built in 2004 (n = 11,368). Of those parcels, 66.7% date from 2000 or later and 1.0% from before 1980. The age differs between the two main ZIP codes: the median year built is 1995 in ZIP code 33067 (n = 3,816) and 2012 in ZIP code 33076 (n = 7,547).
The shape of the house changed along with the date. The one-story share was 69.6% for parcels built in the 1990s (n = 2,747), 51.7% for the 2000s (n = 2,896) and 28.5% for the 2010s (n = 3,253). Then the share reversed. Table 2 shows that 96.0% of the parcels built in 2023 and 2024 are one story (n = 327), and their median living area is 2,353 square feet, against 3,281 square feet for the 2010s.
Table 2. One-story share and median living area of coded single-family parcels by build period, as of 22 October 2026.
| Built | Parcels | One-story share | Median living area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 to 2019 | 3,253 | 28.5% | 3,281 square feet |
| Since 2021 | 1,074 | 75.6% | 2,607 square feet |
| 2023 and 2024 | 327 | 96.0% | 2,353 square feet |
The living-area medians rest on 3,256, 1,074 and 327 parcels. This is not only a small-lot effect: among the 962 parcels built since 2021 on lots of 6,000 square feet or more, 72.8% are one story. The county's parcel data is still incomplete for the latest build years, so the counts for 2023 and 2024 are a floor on homes still being built, and the living area is the county's figure and not a listing's.
Age also follows the plat. A plat is the recorded map of a group of lots, and listings use its name for a subdivision. Among plats with at least 15 listed homes (2,339 listed parcels), the median plat was built within 3.0 years from its 10th to its 90th percentile house, and 76.3% of those plats were built out within 5 years. These figures describe plats as named in listings, not neighborhood boundaries. They cover only listed homes, and they say nothing about who built a plat.
Updates are harder to read. The county books a renovation on 2.2% of coded single-family parcels (n = 11,368). For the other 97.8% it records a default effective year of the year built plus one. Where a renovation is booked (n = 246), the median gap between the built year and the booked year is 5.0 years. The county logs only what it books, not every remodel, so a home with no booked renovation has not been shown to be untouched, and the figure cannot tell you how many homes have been updated.
What does it cost to hold a Parkland home?
The data behind this page carries no tax amount, so this page gives no tax figure. It does show the two values a tax bill starts from. Just value is the county's valuation before the cap, and assessed value is the county's estimate under the cap. Across 11,368 coded single-family parcels as of 22 October 2026, the median just value is $990,645 and the median assessed value is $693,540. Neither is a sale price or a market value, and neither is what a home would sell for.
A homesteaded parcel is one that carries a homestead exemption. The median assessed value is $667,840 for homesteaded parcels (n = 9,676) and $883,030 for parcels without the exemption (n = 1,692). That gap comes from the cap holding homesteaded values down, so it says nothing about the homes themselves.
Save Our Homes limits how fast a homesteaded property's assessed value can grow each year, to 3.0% or the change in the consumer price index, whichever is lower. Growth on a property without the exemption is limited to 10% on non-school levies. The cap limits assessed value, not the tax bill. The benefit usually resets when a home sells on a qualifying transfer, and you have to apply for your own exemption. Moving an earlier benefit to a new home is called portability, and it needs a separate filing.
At the median, a homesteaded parcel is assessed $321,620 below its just value (n = 9,676), which puts its assessed value at 66.3% of just value. The share depends on the date and the kind of the last transfer, as Table 3 shows. Here a transfer means the last recorded transfer of any type.
Table 3. Median assessed value as a share of just value, homesteaded coded single-family parcels, by last recorded transfer, as of 22 October 2026.
| Last recorded transfer | Parcels | Median assessed share of just value |
|---|---|---|
| In the 1990s | 371 | 49.3% |
| In the 2020s | 4,898 | 75.6% |
| In the past two years, on a qualified sale | 515 | 92.4% |
| In the past two years, on a nominal deed | 567 | 65.3% |
| All homesteaded parcels | 9,676 | 66.3% |
A nominal deed records a token price and moves title without a sale. Of the 1,446 coded single-family parcels last transferred in the past two years, 46.7% moved on a nominal deed, and 2,626 parcels in the city record a last transfer of exactly $100. A nominal deed does not reset the cap the way a sale does, as the 65.3% in Table 3 shows against 92.4% after a qualified sale. The data does not say who the parties to a deed are or why it was made.
Association fees add to what it costs to hold a home. Among 2,675 listed coded single-family parcels that report a fee, the median is $390 a month, after quarterly and annual fees are converted to a monthly amount, and 31.6% of the fees are above $600 a month. The median is $385 for the 2,543 parcels tagged single-family residence, $604 for the 153 tagged townhouse and $604 for the 107 listed condominium parcels. The fee follows the age of the plat, as Table 4 shows.
Table 4. Median listed monthly association fee, listed coded single-family parcels, by the median year built of the plat, as of 22 October 2026.
| Plat median year built | Listed parcels | Median monthly fee |
|---|---|---|
| Before 2000 | 507 | $258 |
| 2000 to 2013 | 734 | $344 |
| 2014 or later | 964 | $640 |
Across 37 plats, the rank correlation between a plat's median year built and its median fee is 0.74, where 1.0 would be a perfect match in order. The median fee of a plat runs from $75 to $974 a month. A plat name is not linked to any district or association here.
The listed fee is one stacked number. A listing carries one fee, so a master fee and any smaller fee inside it cannot be told apart, and district, road and other charges collected through the tax bill are not in it. The data has no district or road amount, so this page cannot say what any one Parkland owner pays a district. A home with no association fee is not free of district or road charges. The fees come only from homes that were listed for sale, so the same bias applies, and not every home is governed by an association.
The county's land value is a formula, not a land price. It is the lot area times a set rate, and 74.3% of coded single-family parcels sit on one of six exact rates per square foot (n = 11,368). Exactly $12 per square foot covers 26.9% of parcels and exactly $10 covers 21.3%. Lots of 20,000 square feet or more run at a median $5.00 per square foot (n = 1,887), which gives a median land value of $213,320, against $106,465 on lots of 8,000 to 9,999 square feet (n = 2,136). The median land share of just value is 11.3%, and land is more than half of just value on 0.1% of parcels. On the 361 vacant parcels, 56.8% sit at exactly $30 per square foot, and every condominium parcel carries a fixed 10.0% land share. So the land line is the county's allocation and says nothing about how scarce land is.
Who owns Parkland homes, and for how long?
The median coded single-family parcel is 6.4 years past its last recorded transfer. Of the parcels, 29.5% have gone more than 10 years without one, 9.7% more than 20 years and 2.3% more than 30 years (n = 11,367, as of 22 October 2026). The clock runs from a transfer of any type. Of the last transfers, 63.6% are qualified sales, 25.1% are nominal deeds and 11.1% carry no qualification code, so a short hold can be a change of title and not a purchase. The grouping of transfers into qualified and nominal is derived from the amounts recorded, not from a published code list. These are tenure figures of record, not the time anyone has lived in the home. The latest recorded transfer is 5.4 months before 22 October 2026, so every hold figure runs about that much short.
A homestead exemption is the closest sign of owner occupancy in the data, and 85.1% of coded single-family parcels carry one (n = 11,368). A home without one may still be lived in, and the share is not a count of homes lived in by their owners. Of the 1,692 parcels without the exemption, 61.4% are held by an individual with a Florida mailing address, 18.3% carry a corporate or LLC name and 11.5% carry a trust word. Another 21.3% had their last transfer within two years. These are counts of words in the owner field and say nothing about intent.
Across all coded single-family parcels, 15.8% carry a trust, company or similar word in the owner field (n = 11,368). Of the parcels, 13.0% carry a trust word and 2.8% a corporate or LLC word. Trusts are an estate-planning tool, so this page does not read them as investor ownership, and the trust share is uncertain in both directions because it rests mainly on one abbreviation. Among parcels whose last transfer is a nominal deed, 38.5% carry a trust word (n = 2,853), against 4.6% after a qualified sale (n = 7,230). Only 2.5% list a mailing state other than Florida. That is a lower bound, because an owner who lives elsewhere can receive mail at a local address.
Of the 361 vacant residential parcels, 82.8% are held in corporate or LLC form, and 72.0% last changed hands in a bulk transfer. A bulk transfer records one amount shared by many parcels, so it is not a price per lot. The median hold on vacant parcels is 2.0 years (n = 360). These are counts only and say nothing about why.
How many Parkland homes show signs of being rebuilt?
Up to 33.6% of coded single-family parcels show three or more of five signs that a house could be replaced (n = 11,366, as of 22 October 2026). The five signs are a large land share of value, a low house value, no booked renovation, an older house and a small house for its lot. If you set aside the renovation sign, which the county's default year drives, the share is 13.3%. Treat 33.6% as the top of the range, not as a firm count. Of the parcels at the top of that range, 68.8% sit in ZIP code 33067 (n = 3,818).
The score finds large lots under modest houses, not lots worth more than the house, because land is a median 11.3% of just value. It counts signs in the data. It is not a list of homes that will be rebuilt, and it says nothing about permits or plans.
