Start with your tax bill, deed and a few notes about the land. Find the right Faulkner County records, check any road or use rules, and compare ways to sell. You can get help with missing papers before deciding what to do next.
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.
Make one folder for the land you want to sell. Add your tax bill, deed and any old survey. Write down the owner names, acres if known, and the road nearest the land. A map pin and directions are a good start if it has no street address.
If you own more than one piece, keep each bill and map together. Mark which pieces are for sale and which you want to keep. A parcel number is the number used to identify a piece of land. Put it at the top of your notes.
Write down what matters most to you: price, fewer calls and visits, or selling land you no longer use. Those goals help you compare an agent, a sale you handle yourself and a direct buyer.
The Faulkner County Assessor page lists 501-450-4905. It lists an office at 806 Faulkner Street in Conway and a Greenbrier location at 89 North Broadview Street. Have the owner name, tax bill and parcel number ready. Ask how to find the record for the land you plan to sell.
The page has both personal-property forms and a separate Real Estate section. For your land, start with Real Estate. That section links to the county’s online land-record services and says public computers are available in the real estate department. If you plan to visit, ask which location can help with your land record.
Match the owner, parcel number and written land description before using a result. The address on a tax bill may be where notices go, rather than where the land sits. Our guide to finding land without an address has more ways to start.
A tax value is used for taxes. It is not proof of what a buyer would pay. A map helps locate land, but it does not settle exact boundaries or permission to cross a neighbor’s piece.
A deed is the paper that records a transfer of land. The Faulkner County Circuit Clerk contact page lists 501-450-4911 and 724 Locust Street in Conway. Ask how to find the deed for your land. Have the owner names, dates and any book, page or document number ready.
The clerk’s Search Records page is the place to start for recorded land papers. It lists a separate link for court cases. Choose the land-record search when you need a deed, rather than assuming a court-case result is the same thing.
If an older deed does not show up online, call the clerk. Give the names and numbers you have and ask how to search older books. The clerk’s search help page explains that book and page numbers and document numbers can help. An empty online result does not prove that no deed exists. Ask about copy costs before paying.
Gather any survey, loan statement, lease and road agreement you already have. A survey is a measured drawing of the boundaries. Ask the people handling the sale whether a new one is needed before ordering it.
If you’re helping settle a loved one’s estate, start with what you have. A title company or real estate attorney can explain which papers and signatures are needed. Ask early if shared owners or other family members need to take part, so everyone has time to get ready. Our seller document checklist helps you keep track. Keep private family papers out of public ads.
Take photos of the entrance, open areas, woods, buildings and any wet or steep ground you know about. Write directions from a nearby road and explain gates and visits. Describe what you have seen on your land.
If the land is in a neighborhood or a larger tract that was split into lots, look for a plat and written use rules. A plat is a drawing that shows lots and roads. Use rules are often called restrictions or covenants. They may be in a deed or a separate recorded paper.
The assessor page sends readers to the Circuit Clerk for plats, covenants and restrictions. Ask for papers tied to your piece and give copies to the people helping with your sale. If a rule is unclear, ask for help before promising a buyer that they can build, divide the land or use it a certain way.
If the entrance crosses a neighbor’s piece, gather any written road agreement. A visible track on a map does not prove a right to use it. Explain what you know and what still needs to be checked.
Show what power and water work now. Nearby lines are different from working connections. If someone farms, hunts or rents there, gather that agreement too. Ask how visits and a sale affect the current use. Write down which buildings or other items stay with the land.
Ask a local land agent or appraiser for recent completed sales buyers would compare with yours. Check acres, entrance, road rights, ground shape, woods, slopes, use rules, current use, usable ground, working services and included items. Ask how the sale price was confirmed.
For example, a piece reached by a public road may not be a good match for one with an unresolved route across a neighbor's land. Similar acres alone do not make two pieces equal. Describe those differences when you ask for a price opinion.
Write down the sale date and what was included. If several pieces sold together, check the whole deal and count it once. An asking price is what a seller wants. A tax value is used for taxes. Neither is proof of what a buyer paid.
Our land value guide helps you organize the comparisons. If the sales you can find are too different, ask for help instead of relying on a guessed county price range.
List with a land agent. Ask how they would price and market your land, what the fee is, and how long the listing lasts. Check whether they have worked with land like yours. They can help handle calls, visits and offers.
Sell it yourself. You arrange the ad, answer questions, show the land and review offers. Prepare good photos and clear directions. You may still want help with the sale agreement and closing.
Compare a direct offer. A buyer who buys from you directly gives you another choice. Compare the price, costs and terms with your goals. You can turn down an offer.
You do not have to choose Reelvest to use this guide. If you’d like a direct offer to compare, tell us about your land. We’ll review the details and let you know whether we can make one.
Read the price, deposit, costs you pay and planned closing date. Ask what the buyer still needs to check and what would let them cancel. Check that each offer describes the same land and items.
For example, $60,000 minus $5,000 in seller costs leaves $55,000 before loans or unpaid taxes. A $58,000 offer with $1,000 in those costs leaves $57,000 before those balances. These are examples, not Faulkner County land prices.
The Faulkner County Collector page lists 501-450-4921 for the Faulkner County Collector. Ask how to check the current balance for the land you plan to sell. Give any loan statement to the closing team as well; an old bill may not show the balance today.
Ask for a written estimate of the money you would keep. Read the deadlines and ask what could change them. The offer comparison worksheet helps you compare the full deals.
Closing is when the sale papers are signed and the agreed payment is handled. Ask who is arranging it and what they need from you. Give them the owner names, written land descriptions and papers you found. Tell them about any loan, lease, shared owner or road question.
Read the agreement and ask about anything that is unclear. Check that it describes the right pieces and items. Before signing the final papers, review the costs and payment amounts. If more than one owner must sign, ask how to arrange that.
Before sending bank details or money, call the closing office using a number you already trust. Confirm the instructions with that office. Keep copies of the signed papers and your payment record. You don't need to have every answer today; a clear set of notes makes the next step easier.
Call the assessor at 501-450-4905 with the owner name, parcel number or tax bill. On the assessor website, use the Real Estate section for land records. Personal-property assessment forms are a different route.
Call the Circuit Clerk at 501-450-4911. Have owner names, dates and any book, page or document number ready. Ask how to check older records and what a copy costs. An empty online result does not prove there is no deed.
The assessor page sends readers to the Circuit Clerk for plats, covenants and restrictions. Ask for papers tied to your piece. Share them with the people helping with your sale before making promises about how a buyer can use the land.
The Faulkner County Collector page lists 501-450-4921 for the Collector. Have the parcel number or tax bill ready and ask for the current balance. An older bill may not show what is owed today.
Not always. Start with an old survey if you have one. Ask the people handling your sale whether a new survey is needed before paying for it.
Yes. If you are helping settle a loved one’s estate, start with the papers you have. A title company or real estate attorney can explain which papers and signatures are needed.
No. You can list with an agent, find a buyer yourself or compare a direct offer. Choose the route and terms that fit your goals.
