We hope these frequently asked questions are helpful. We are not lawyers, so none of the answers we give should be taken as legal advice. Rather, this is what we have found over the years, and are just sharing what we know.
Thank you for your interest and doing your “homework” before coming to Suburban Estates. All of our officers and volunteers are doing this for free, for their love of Suburban Estates. Should you have additional questions, please contact us at info@sepaclub.com

Suburban is not a residential community. There are several dishonest realtors and private citizens selling lots with the implication that you can live here. There is no infrastructure like water, power, sewer and access to emergency services like EMS or fire rescue. Access to all areas is via dirt roads that are accessible only with four wheel drive.
You have to be a property owner to become a SEPA Club member; unless you are sponsored by a landowner. If you are sponsored, then you can become an Associate member, meaning you can attend meetings but cannot vote on items.

No. Some properties have keys already assigned to them, so we must ensure one key per lot. A seller must transfer the key either to you or another piece of property, if they own a key.
Our Key Committee at keys@sepaclub.com can check to see if a key has been assigned. We can email you the Key Request Form or you can access it and upload necessary documents and payment through our web site here
You need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to access Suburban Estates. Don’t even try it in a car. There are no maintained roads, only dirt trails. This property is zoned as recreational and is a part of the Big Bend Swamp. Some areas are underwater during the wet season and may not be accessible.
If you don’t have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you won’t make it very far past the gate entrance.
No to all of the above. There are no amenities or public parking areas. A few generous landowners offered their land past the main gate as an area for emergency temporary parking. Although we refer to it as “the parking lot”, it is not. Please do not camp, or hold your get togethers in this area.
Suburban estates is not a publicly held area, therefore there are no public services, (including no emergency services like ambulance or fire) available. Every piece of land here is owned by someone. Please do not litter, or otherwise destroy our neighbors property.
Suburban Estates is prone to wildfire. If you are setting any controlled fire, do not leave it alone. Wildfires often begin unnoticed. They can spread quickly, igniting brush, trees and homes. Please note, that Emergency services will not be able to access your property, so wildfires are left to burn themselves out.

Hunting in Suburban Estates is subject to the The Florida Fish and Game Wildlife Commission hunting regulations. Additionally, keep in mind you cannot hunt on private property, and as most of the land in Suburban is owned by someone, there are limited areas you can hunt. Always get permission before hunting.
Please note, in Florida, Trespassing while Possessing a Firearm or other dangerous weapon is a felony punishable by imprisonment up to five years and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
We do not recommend shooting on your property. In addition to safety concerns for yourself, there are many people riding in the trails. The woods or your camp area may seem empty, but there are always people around.
There have been several incidents of people shooting and vehicles, campers, and even people getting hit by bullets.
There is a designated area in the south end of Suburban Estates that is used as a gun range; people are encouraged to go there to shoot.
