Latest summary · Apr 15, 2026

As of public records through early 2026, Alford Farms is in engineering and environmental permitting — not selling homes. Putnam County approved an Agriculture-to-PUD rezoning on August 13, 2024 (Ordinance 2024-017, case PUD24-000004) for roughly 165 acres along SR 207 and Alford Road in East Palatka. The entitlement described up to 700 single-family homes plus about 60,000 square feet of commercial space, an amenity center, and a park. Later engineering materials (September 2025) show a 559-lot layout. D.R. Horton, Inc. is named as an agent in the county file; that is not the same as a published grand opening. St. Johns River Water Management District file 224892-1 was received August 29, 2024. An RAI went out February 20, 2025; a partial response followed in June 2025. No final plat recording or home-sale opening is confirmed in the records this tracker reviews. If a builder website lists the community, treat marketing as separate from county status.

Rezoning materials described up to 700 single-family homes. September 2025 engineering documents describe a 559-lot layout. The lower number is typical as plans move from entitlement to construction documents — it is not a cancellation.

Updates

  • Apr 15, 2026

    Alford Farms still in permit review, not sales

    Spring 2026 file reads still show SJRWMD and engineering work as the live step. Rezoning from August 2024 is the last major political milestone. No confirmed plat recording or model-home opening.
