Florida General Equities, a defunct corporation, began the promotion and sale of this 10,000 acre farming tract around 1970. The developer did not install the necessary infrastructure as required to serve this development.
In 1971, the Florida Legislature established the Flagler Estates Road and Water Control District. By assessment to each property, revenue was generated to install portions of the necessary infrastructure. These improvements have been limited to Units I, II and III lying in St. Johns County (north of Division Street). The District assessments in Flagler County were phased out by Legislative action. The Legislature found that it is unfair to levy assessments because Flagler County owners cannot feasibly build on their property. District assessments were been lowered by 20% per year and eliminated January 1, 2004.
No facilities or services are available, or scheduled to become available, in Flagler Estates. Much of the property is low lying and subject to periodic inundation. The streets are not dedicated to the public nor are they deeded to a private or public maintenance entity. Because of the above conditions, Flagler County will not issue building permits for this lot.
