I’ve been looking for some time and haven’t found one yet. Many will allow temporary living while you are building a house, but it seems none to very few allow full time. But if you want to live in a ratty old mobile home that is practically falling off its frame, that seems to be fine because you can fine plenty of those around FL.I'm guessing that almost any county in Florida would allow full time living in an RV on land that you own.
John, you are half right, more or less. First of all FL property taxes are pretty low compared to other States. Where they make some of that up is when you purchase a home they add "impact fees" into your closing costs. Each county can add up to a certain amount of these impact fees. The fees are a one time payment to school districts, fire departments, police departments, public works, etc. In other words, the fees are used to off-set regular annual property taxes. Now you still pay annual property taxes, based on the value of your property, but they really aren't very high.I’ve been looking for some time and haven’t found one yet.

a nice, well cared for RV that can move out of harms way at a moment’s notice though? Nope. Why not? My best guess is that an RV doesn’t improve land value and so the local government’s revenue remains pretty much the same.
It is not necessarily the county, city codes are more of a hassle. Most places do not allow you to park your RV on your property unless you have a homestead on it.Does anyone know which counties in Florida allow full time RV living with full hookups on your own land?
