Thinking about selling your Delaware land? Tell us where it is and what you know about it. We’ll review the details, and you can decide whether an offer fits your plans.
Start with the details you have. You don’t need every answer to reach out.
Start here: Find your county below, gather the land ID or tax bill you have, and tell us about your plans. You can reach out with the details you know.
You can ask questions before deciding what to do.
Share the location, acres and when you’d like to sell. Mention any loan, unpaid taxes or shared owners.
We look at the information you send. If we need more to review the land, we’ll ask. You can ask how any proposed offer works.
Read the written price, costs, dates and conditions. If you choose to move ahead, confirm the next steps with the people handling the closing.
Choose the area where the land sits, even if you live somewhere else.
For a local starting point, the Sussex County Assessment office keeps assessment records for properties in Sussex County and links to its Property Search. Use that office for Sussex County land. If your land is in Kent or New Castle County, start with that county's assessment office instead.
An assessment record is kept for tax purposes. Before using a value shown there, check what property it covers. A record for land with a house may describe more than the open land you want to sell. Keep the land ID and any labels on the value figures.
If you want to keep a home and sell the field beside it, say that at the start. A value for the whole property won't tell you what a buyer would offer for just the field. Show what you hope to keep and what you want to sell.
If an old bill and a newer record differ, save both and label their dates. Ask the assessment office about the record, and ask the closing team which ownership papers it needs. Our document checklist helps you gather a small, useful file before comparing your options.

You don’t need a perfect file to start. A clear note is more useful than a guess that sounds certain.
For example: “I own about five acres in this county. I have the tax bill, but I haven’t found a survey. I’d like to compare offers before deciding.”
