Find the current parcel record and gather the papers you have. Yuma’s old tax site has been replaced, so use the county’s current links. Explain the entrance and working services, compare prices and choose the way to sell that fits you.
Tell us about your land. There’s no obligation to accept an offer.
Start with what you know. These steps will help you get ready and choose the way to sell that fits you.
Find a deed, tax bill, purchase papers or old survey. Write down the acres if known and the land description. The description tells one piece from another. It may use a lot and block, subdivision name or a longer written description.
Keep the parcel number with your notes. A parcel is one piece of land with a local record number. You may see it called an APN—Assessor Parcel Number. Empty land may not have a street address, so don’t guess one.
List each piece and item included, such as a shed or cabin. Say if you plan to keep part or remove something shown in a photo. Think about your goal: price, less work or a sale around a certain date.
The Yuma County Property Tax Information page says the old ITAX site has been replaced. It now links to separate Assessor and Treasurer sites. Start with those county links if an old bookmark or tax-paper link no longer works.
Use the Assessor resource to find the land record and the Treasurer resource to check tax information. Match the parcel number and land description to your deed or bill. A matching owner name alone may not be enough.
The Assessor page lists 928-373-6040 for help and the office at 197 S. Main Street in Yuma. If your papers use an older parcel number, ask how to match it to the current record before ordering copies.
The Cross Indexes page has a Parcel Number Conversion section and a Subdivision Index. Ask whether those resources apply to your papers. They are useful starting points, not proof that a listed number or old map reflects every later change.
The Yuma County Recorder page links to Recorded Documents, recording information and fees. It lists 928-373-6020 and the Recorder office at 298 S. Main Street in Yuma. That is a different address from the Assessor office.
Have the names, approximate purchase date and any document number from your papers ready. Ask how to find a deed copy and which kind the people helping your sale need. If you plan to visit, check the office and service before driving there.
Gather any subdivision map, survey, loan details, leases and written road agreements too. A survey is a measured drawing of boundaries. A lease is an agreement to use land. A deed copy alone is not a full check of ownership or other claims.
Use the Treasurer link on the county property-tax page to start checking what you owe. Ask for a current balance and how it would be handled at closing. An old bill or tax value may not show all amounts owed today.
If you’re handling inherited land or helping settle a loved one’s estate, start with what you have. Ask a title company or real estate attorney who needs to sign and which papers are missing. Our land seller document checklist can help. Keep private family and loan papers out of a public ad.
Give buyers dated photos of the entrance, open ground, sandy or rough areas, slopes and any buildings included. Describe the full route you have driven, including dirt sections and gates. Say where a visitor can park and who can allow entry.
A sandy track may be different from a paved-road entrance. Say when you last visited and what you drove. A road on a map does not prove a buyer has a right to cross someone else’s land. Keep any written road or shared-access papers.
If there is irrigation, a well or shared water, gather the records you have. Explain what works now and what still needs checking. A nearby canal or irrigated field does not prove that your piece can use the water. Give the same clear details about power.
Before advertising a future home, farming use or sale of only part, ask the office that handles the exact location what needs checking. If you live away, ask an agent or buyer what photos or records they need before paying for a trip or new work.
Ask a land agent or appraiser familiar with your part of Yuma County for recent completed sales buyers would compare with yours. Ask how the prices were checked and what that help costs.
Match the area, acres, road, working water and power, allowed uses and included items. Irrigated farmland is a different choice from dry desert acreage. A town lot with working services is different from a remote piece that still needs them.
Keep the price, date, acres and included pieces together. If several parcels sold in one deal, check the whole deal before giving one a price. Count a sale once even when several websites show it.
An ad shows an asking price, not what was paid. A tax value is different from an offer. If good matches are scarce, ask for a range and the reasons behind it. Our land value guide explains more price factors.
Use an agent: A land agent can help with pricing, ads, showings and offers. Ask about the fee, listing length and recent work with land like yours.
Sell yourself: You handle the ad, questions, visits and offers. You may still need help with the agreement and closing.
Compare a direct offer: A direct buyer may give you another choice without listing the land. Check the price and terms against your goals. You can say no.
Before arranging a visit, explain how to reach the land and who can give permission to enter. Keep private records out of the listing. Share needed papers with the people helping with the sale.
Get the offer and terms in writing. Check the right pieces of land are included. Ask who pays closing costs, any agent fee and other charges. Ask how a loan or unpaid taxes will be paid.
A higher price may leave you with less money if you pay more costs. For example, $30,000 less $2,000 in costs leaves $28,000 before a loan or tax balance. That is made-up math, not a price for your land.
Read the target date and what lets the buyer cancel or ask for a lower price. Ask who holds the deposit and what happens to it. Use our land offer worksheet to compare offers side by side.
If you’d like a direct offer to compare, tell Reelvest about your land. You decide whether an offer fits.
Ask who will handle closing—the final papers and payment. Have that person explain the land description, owners who must sign, costs and money you would receive.
Ask how any lease, road agreement or rules that came with the lot affect the sale papers. If a name or boundary is unclear, get help before signing. A target date does not mean all the checks are finished.
Confirm payment instructions with the closing office using a phone number you already trust. Keep copies of the signed agreement and final papers. Our Arizona land seller guide gives more general steps.
No. Start with the location and papers you have. Ask for help with missing information while comparing selling choices.
The county property-tax page says it was replaced by separate Assessor and Treasurer sites. Use the current county links instead of an old bookmark.

Their current pages list different addresses: the Assessor at 197 S. Main Street and the Recorder at 298 S. Main Street in Yuma. Check before visiting.
No. Gather records for the exact piece and explain what works now. A nearby canal or irrigated field does not prove your piece can use the water.
