How does ROGO affect property values?

Steve Conley | August 24, 2026

Short Answer

ROGO restrictions limit new supply, which supports property values for existing developed properties. Land with an existing Certificate of Occupancy typically holds greater value than undeveloped land subject to ROGO allocation wait times.

ROGO is actually the reason Keys property values have remained so strong. By capping new construction, it ensures supply stays limited. Properties with existing COs or grandfathered building rights command a premium because they bypass the allocation wait. I explain this dynamic to every buyer I work with.
