Renting out lots on private land

my thoughts are you are trying to do something probably illegal and the end result won't be to your liking.

If you were alone on the property and cut corners that would be one thing, but if your going to rent to others without doing it with proper permits, your setting yourself up for getting sued over something. It is just not worth it.

I think my wording was confusing. I'm defiantly NOT trying to get away with doing anything illegal, just wanted to get a feel for whether the local gov just wouldn't CARE if I was only renting out, say, 2 lots on my property. I haven't been a FL resident since I was a wee lad so I'm not familiar with how things are down there currently, and am used to seeing RV lots advertised all over the place for Marcellus Shale gas workers in PA, whether those land owners are going to get in trouble or if they have gone through the hoops already I don't know.
And I DEFINITELY didn't say anything about avoiding utility permits! I said WITH. Focus on keeping everything to code and approved for residential use, but low enough number of renters so I wouldn't have to legally comply with NFPA or other commercial regs. If that's not how it works, that's the way it is.. Thats why I'm here, to find out.
As for the fun of being a landlord and maintenance, don't doubt whether I've given that some serious thought.. I'd want to be able to keep the property and rentals running after moving away so would want to have it under some kind of rental management agency eventually (obviously going to eat into profits, and yes I know that may render the whole plan impractical) The only maintenance would be on utilities (which is why I want to stay away from owning a rental house) so if anything needed doing I'd be calling someone in anyway, whether I was still residing there myself or not.
