The numbers
Counted in October 2026 from Tracer’s Florida property data (the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide 2025 parcel roll), with Marion picked as the county. Each count names the Request Data filters behind it. “Absentee” means no homestead exemption, so second homes and recent buyers who haven’t filed are in it too.
single-family homes with an Ocala address on the 2025 roll, government owners left out.
29% of them have no homestead exemption: usually a rental, a second home or an inherited house.
7% of the city’s homes: the tax bill goes to an address outside Florida (second homes and rentals alike).
10% are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust. Tracer traces them to a person where it can (how).
72% of the 93,805 with a year built on the roll were built in 2011 or earlier.
of Marion County’s 39,251 absentee-owned single-family homes have an Ocala address.
Counted by the city on the property's tax-roll address (the postal city), so it includes unincorporated areas with an Ocala address. It is not the city limits.
Of the 93,805 single-family homes in Ocala with a year built on the roll, 67,436 (72%) were built in 2011 or earlier. Statewide it is 81% of Florida's 5,990,343 single-family homes with a year built, so Ocala's share is lower than Florida's; Marion County's is 76%. The other 9 of Ocala's 93,814 single-family homes have no year built on the roll, so they are in neither figure. Florida homes by year built, by county.
Against the county
More than half of Marion County's 136,890 single-family homes have an Ocala address (69%), and so do 69% of its 39,251 absentee-owned ones: about the same slice of each.

9,060 of Ocala’s single-family homes (10%, against 9% statewide) are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust, so the name on the roll isn’t a person you can call. Pulling all of them is $45. Tracer works a company owner toward a person: a person named in the company’s name, otherwise its mailing address (marked lower confidence). To find the managers yourself, look the company up on Sunbiz: the LLC owner lookup guide shows how.
