Thinking about selling your Massachusetts 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.
Massachusetts has two useful places to start: the Registry of Deeds for recorded land papers, and your town or city assessor for the property card used for taxes. The state's record-finding guide links to both. Keep those records together when getting ready to sell.
The state guide explains that some property is registered land. Its records use a separate registered-land search option. If a regular deed search finds nothing, ask the registry whether you should use that option. Keep any document, book and page, or certificate reference exactly as it appears on your papers.
A map can help you locate the land, but don't draw a sale boundary from a tax map alone. MassGIS explains that its parcel maps show property boundaries for reference. Ask a land surveyor when you need a map that shows the legal boundary.
Tell us if you want to sell only part of the land, or if your papers show different acreage. Our survey guide helps you decide what to ask about the records you have and the next steps for your plans.

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.”
