We started looking at lots and you are correct, the building permit is a nightmare and just not worth it. We ended up purchasing a home in Key Largo and could not be happier.

Thanks for the information. I did not know about ROGO.
Man… Really great info!!! I had heard of ROGO before, but this is a much better explanation & discussion, with much more info! Thank you!
GREAT content/ Info... Thank you!
This video Mark is very informative. I myself figured you could just buy a lot and build on it. I have a cousin in Key West, I will let her know about this. She could explain to her friends about ROGO. I bet there's a lot of people out there who knew nothing about this. Thanks for your time Mark really enjoyed this video. And thanks for spreading the news about ROGO system. Happy Easter to you and Laurie!
Thank you for this video, very helpful information. I am currently looking for a vacant lot and would love to find out rough cost in building a house, dock, etc. and timing of completion. Of course this is rough numbers but a walk through for a person that's a first time house builder would be helpful. Maybe an interview with a contractor/builder... Thank you again for all your videos. I bought a house over three years ago and have loved every minute of it but there was a lot to learn along the way...cant thank you enough!
Great info!
Wow. Thank you for the great information!
Glad it was helpful!
I question the constitutionality of ROGO. I don’t think the government has the right to tell you you can’t build on for example on a tier three lot which is not environmentally sensitive. Building permits were created to make sure homes are built to code. Not to tell you you can’t build. It is not the government’s job to protect me. Also, ROGO is based on arbitrary numbers. A study done in 1972 on how many people can we evacuate in 24 hours. Well why not 48 hours? Weather forecasting has come a long way since 1972. I can’t wait to see how this plays out.
Thanks so much brother this is probably the best video that I have seen on this subject in all of RUclips and I've been looking for years. The Monroe county website is horrible at explaining this subject. Thanks so much for this video brother.
Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful!
good morning Mark thanks for the great information you did a good job presenting it I live here in world famous Dania Beach Fl and have no intentions of moving to the keys but i do love the keys very much and found this video very interesting
Thank You Mark .
Thanks
Happy Easter Mark, Laurie, and Gracie ❤
Thank you so much!
Great info,thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information to know 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Buy an old mobile on a lot and replace it. ROGO came into real effect this year I think. I suspect the county will have to buy the vacant lot owners out after the impending lawsuit. Call the county before buying and get a ROGO of your lot copy first
Fantastic Mark!
Thanks so much for helping to slightly clear up this muddy water.
Excellent, I would have never even thought about ROGO. It's almost like those jokes where people have land to sell you. Sounds like you need a trustworthy realtor to figure out if you have a dream lot or a piece of paradise that you can only look at. It sounds like a very cloudy process where people with more money than you can find ways to jump to the front of the line. The selling of building allocations also seems like it has a number of ways people could be taken advantage of. Almost sounds like buying a pre-existing home is a better choice or one with less headaches.
A "trustworthy" realtor from C B tried to sell me a lot that was unbuildable in 2014, the lot is still for sale and they all know the mean high water line covers half the lot(they play dumb). There are 3 more lots on the tip of Cudjoe that are unbuildable.
The rumor is there will be no new permits issued after 2024. Tier 1 lots are easiest to get permits for tier 2 may take years and they say don't even thing about buying a tier 3. Remember there is a 25ft setback from the front property line and you must be 20ft from the mean high water line if on the water so if your lot floods over half the lot you will not have room to build.
Good stuff Mark!
I did not know this.
I wish I could have made that walk you made in the shade of the trees.
When the time is right you can expect a call from me.
Thank you!
Hi Mark, very informative. I imagine some people have run up against this ordinance without any knowledge of the consequences.
Yes, happens all too often down here. Thanks for watching!
Hey sir thank you for the info, I’ve got a question was watching Beach Front Property on Hulu yesterday and they should some nice houses for 3-4 hundred Thousand are there any for around that price or was I watching old show.
Unfortunately, Beach Front Property Hunt is a fiction show in several ways. We were propositioned by them for one of our listings but it would not have been helpful, would probably just confused people. BTW, we do like to watch that show, just for the fantasy aspect.
I own a house in Kl for the last 7.5 yrs. Rogo always comes up but I feel like developers will get what they want no matter what is discussed. It was an issue then but seems like it is not so much now which is backwards. I hope building is limited but developers seem to get what they want. Hurricane season just around the corner…
Excellent info. Easier to buy an island in the Bahamas 🤣
This is WHY you want a real estate pro with years of experience... $40,000 for moving an allocation? WOW!
Exactly Dennis!
I saw at least 3 reality signs while you were walking. How do I look at them?
Just give us a call and we can set you up with access to all Keys properties on the MLS.
Great job as usual Mark! I know some will disagree, but I think this is a very very good thing, especilly for the keys. We have to fight and make sure we don’t overpopulate or over tax our resources. Plus these families had multiple years to plan what they wanted to do with their lots and submit plans… don’t feel so sorry for them. Just my opinion...
😮Florida keys become laundry place ! Because it’s the system
What can you do on a lot with no building permits?
Pay taxes every year, lol
You can camp for 6 months then you must move.
Is ROGO applied to all of Florida or just the Keys?
Only in the Keys as far as I've heard. Each municipality has their own system that is similar. For instance ROGO in the city of Marathon is called BPAS. Same basic deal....
No way Jose’. Last place I would buy.
What’s the best real estate site for the Florida Keys?
Mark and Laurie are real estate agents. Look at their information below the video.
Gablesonthego.com is our website where you can search all Keys properties for sale.
Sounds like the answer is just buy an existing home
The government has no responsibility for people safety your wrong
But FEMA has to manage the disaster afterwards and government would be blamed for deaths if a storm hits and they don't do everything in their power to try and save people.
Only a fool believes government provides safety New Orleans after the hurricane Supreme Court ruling deshaney vs Winnebago
Maybe you aren't familiar with Key West/Monroe county gov. I flew down there a Thursday so I could submit application for a permit in person which they require for an owner builder. They had closed the office at noon so they could go watch a wiener dog parade.
As far as Im concerned there shouldnt be anyone living on or in the Keys!! The place was a wildlife Sanctuary. It should have all been declared a national park 200 years ago!
There would have people living there 200 years ago salvaging the ships that hit the reef and making cigars.
In 2012, @ 40 years old I went looking to buy and build. I got to know and understand the rogo system. I looked at when the rules were enacted and what age group owned what at that time... AND, the usual suspects pissed me off again - BABY BOOMERS!! My parents generation! They owned everything down there and than made the rules to make it extremely difficult for anyone else. Thats why the majority of people are still the same owners and properties are kept in the family. I ended up buying up in the Adirondacks and down in Costa Rica. BABY BOOMERS = SELFISH, AND SELF CENTERED GENERATION!!!! Especially the women of this generation. Shame on you!
BooWooHoo…cry me a river😂
