Off-Grid Freedom: What It Really Takes to Live on Florida Land

The dream: A piece of dirt, your own rules, no neighbors or noise.

We feel it too.

Florida has some amazing counties for off-grid living — but it’s not all campfires and compost toilets. Here’s what it really takes to make that dream happen:

✅ Where You Can Go Off-Grid

• Putnam County (Interlachen): RV living is allowed for 180 days/year with a building permit

• Washington County (Chipley): Some lots allow long-term off-grid setups, depending on zoning

• Levy, Suwannee, and Dixie Counties: Popular with homesteaders and minimalists

🧰 What You’ll Need

• Septic Permit or compost alternative

• Water Source (well, rainwater catchment, or delivery)

• Power Plan (solar, generator, or local electric if available)

• Zoning-Compatible Shelter (tiny home, cabin, or RV — if allowed)

⚠️ What People Get Wrong

• Assuming all land is RV-OK (it’s not)

• Thinking no building = no rules (zoning still applies)

• Moving on before the land is paid off (we don’t allow development during financing)

💬 Real Talk:

Off-grid living is freeing — but it’s also real work.
It’s clearing land, hauling water, watching the weather. And we love it.
