Thinking about selling your North Dakota 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.
North Dakota's assessor resources page explains what a property record should include. Along with the land ID, it lists the owner's name, mailing address, tax category and legal description. A legal description is the written description used to identify the land; it isn't always a street address.
If you live elsewhere, your home address can appear on the record so the office can send mail. Keep that address separate from the property location. Use the land ID and description to help match the correct piece.
The state lists separate acreage details for agricultural records. If several acreage figures appear, keep their labels. Ask which figure describes the land you plan to sell instead of adding every number together.
If a record is kept on paper, ask how to get a copy. You can still tell us about your plans while gathering it. Our guide to several pieces of land helps you keep separate IDs and records from getting mixed up.

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.”
