A vacant parcel that is Rogo Exempt, means that the lot does not have to go through the Rogo process of obtaining a building right. An individual can build a home on a rogo exempt lot once plans and permits have been approved.

Rogo exempt lots are most often the result of an existing structure being torn down due to a hurricane or being an unsafe structure.

The best thing about a Rogo exempt lot is that the “right to build,” never goes away, and there is no specific time frame you have to build by.

This is as opposed to when you receive a “New Building Allocation.” 

When an individual receives a NEW building allocation through the rogo point system, the time clock starts on the construction process.  Typically, you have 6 months to do something in relation to building on the lot. With a Rogo Exempt lot, you can build when the time is right for you. 

If you are looking for a vacant lot in the Florida Keys, but want to wait to build, the best option for you is to purchase a rogo exempt lot.
