Can you buy land that is still in probate?
Yes. Inherited land often sits in probate for years while taxes accrue. We work with the estate's attorney and the title company to close once the personal representative has authority to sell, we are patient with the timeline that requires, and on most probate transactions we can cover the filing costs to get there.
What if I owe back taxes or there are liens on the property?
That is common and it is workable. The title search identifies every payoff, and those amounts are settled from the sale proceeds at closing rather than billed to you separately. Where the payoffs exceed what the land is worth, we will tell you plainly instead of tying up your property in a contract that cannot close.
What is Urban Mynt?
A Florida-based land acquisition and entitlement firm focused on off-market residential land across the Southeast, Texas and Arizona.
Who can buy land here?
Qualified builders, investors, and end buyers. Buyers should be prepared to move on vetted tracts with engineering-grade due diligence already complete.
How do you find your land parcels?
We source directly from owners — not the MLS. Acquisitions are driven by targeted criteria and our in-house feasibility work.
Can sellers list publicly?
You're free to market your property before a contract. Once under contract, we keep the deal private and off-market.
Do you buy land directly from owners?
Yes. Our process is off-market and direct — no MLS listing, no realtor commissions, no hidden fees.
What is land entitlement?
Entitlement is the process of obtaining government approvals to develop land for a specific use — zoning changes, subdivision plats, site plans, utilities, and environmental clearances. It's what turns raw acreage into buildable lots.
How long does rezoning take?
Rezoning timelines vary by municipality, but typically run three to nine months. We screen zoning context early so the path and timeline are clear before we commit capital.
What's the difference between zoning and entitlement?
Zoning sets what can be built by-right on a parcel. Entitlement is the full set of approvals needed to actually build — subdivision plat, site plan, utility agreements, and environmental permits. We handle both.
How do flood zones and wetlands affect a tract?
They constrain the developable area and can trigger permitting, mitigation, or redesign. We map FEMA floodplain and National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) features up front so the true, defensible lot yield is known before we sign.
What does "lot yield" mean?
Lot yield is the number of buildable lots a tract can support after accounting for zoning, floodplain, wetlands, utilities, access, and layout. Our preliminary yield is an engineering estimate, not a guarantee of final plat.
Do you handle rezoning and platting applications?
Yes. Through our principal engineer and consulting team, we coordinate entitlement work from concept through recorded plat — including survey, hydrology, utility, and agency coordination.
Are the lots buildable?
Many are buildable today. Each tract is evaluated individually for access, utilities, floodplain, wetlands, and entitlement status before it's offered.
