Do I have to build on the land I purchase from Bluegreen?
No. Bluegreen Communities® property owners enjoy the benefit of having no timeframe to begin building a custom home. As a Bluegreen owner, you enjoy supreme flexibility unmatched by other planned communities. You decide if you build, where on the lot you build, how you build your home, who builds it and when you begin building. Once construction begins, most communities require the home to be complete within one year. To ensure consistency within the community, covenants may also specify certain style and minimum size requirements.

How can I get information on building guidelines for my community/homesite?

Is the property surveyed?

Is the title to the property clear? (free of liens and other encumbrances)
Yes, clear title is guaranteed, usually by warranty deed.

Is title insurance available on the property?
Yes. We suggest that you consult your closing attorney, escrow agent or real estate agent for further information on title insurance.

What are the current taxes on the property?
Taxes usually relate to services provided by the town, county or school authority, and they vary by community. Ask your sales representative for more information on the local taxes in the area you are considering.

What are the deed restrictions on this property?
It is very important that you understand what uses are permitted or not permitted on any given property to help you decide which parcels meet your requirements. Occasionally a property will meet all town requirements for a particular use, but a deed restriction will not permit that use. Be sure to ask if there are any deed restrictions before building. If you intend to build, inquire about building codes and what permits will be required.
