How vacant house works in Duval County
Every vacant house situation in Duval County follows Florida law. These are the stages and the local offices involved.
Insurance gap
Many homeowner policies limit coverage once a home has been empty for a set period (often 30–60 days). Check your policy's vacancy clause.
Code exposure
Overgrown yards, pools and boarded windows draw code complaints, and fines can become liens in the Duval County public records.
Unwanted occupants
Since July 2024 Florida lets owners ask the sheriff to remove unauthorized occupants with a sworn complaint (s. 82.036).
Ongoing costs
Taxes, HOA dues, utilities and storm prep continue every month the house sits.
Exit
Sell, rent, or renovate — each has a different cost and timeline.
