Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
We purchased a lot from an individual that has gopher tortoises on it. This will cost us about $4000 to $5000 to relocate this endangered species. Do we have any recourse regarding seller not disclosing this fact?

You may be able to recoup depending on the contract and disclosure made. Did you inspect the property before buying and see the animals?

The contract you signed controls. You need to have it reviewed by an attorney.
