Ready to sell land in Utah County, Utah? Tell us where it is and what you know about it. You can start with a land ID number, a tax bill, or a map pin. We’ll review the details and let you know if we can make a cash offer.
Tell us about your land. There’s no obligation to accept an offer.
Start with the land’s serial number, then check which office handles its zoning. Utah County handles land outside city limits. If your land is inside a city, ask that city. This small step can keep you from using the wrong rules when you talk with a buyer.
A street address may be missing or may not point to the whole parcel. A parcel is one piece of land listed in county records. Utah County calls its land ID a serial number. Use the county land records search to look up an owner, address or serial number. Save the number, listed acres and the map.
If you own two parcels next to each other, write down both numbers. Make clear whether you plan to sell one or both. A buyer needs to know what is included before comparing an offer.
The deed is the paper that records who owns the land. A plat is a recorded drawing of lots. The county’s land records site includes recorded document searches and parcel history. Save the recording entry number so you can find the same deed again.
The Recorder’s guide explains where to look for land dimensions: a subdivision plat, or the deed when there is no plat. Later boundary papers may matter too. A tax map helps you find the land; it does not settle a dispute over a fence or driveway.
Have an old survey, shared-road agreement or water-right paper? Keep it with the deed. Tell the buyer what you have and what still needs to be checked. Don’t guess that a visible track gives the buyer a legal right to use it.
For land outside city limits, start with Utah County Planning and Zoning. Its zone clearance process gives a written answer about the land’s legal status, building a home, allowed uses or a possible split. Ask about the buyer’s actual plan, not just whether the land is “residential.”
For example, a buyer may want to divide five acres into two home lots. Send the serial number and that plan to the right office. A broad map label is not an answer about that exact split. The written response can explain conditions or steps that still apply.
If your land is inside city limits, contact the city’s planning office instead. A mailing address alone does not tell you who handles the rules. Also keep today’s zoning separate from a general plan, which describes goals for future land use.
If the land will need a septic system, start with Utah County’s environmental health applications. Under Onsite Wastewater, the county lists options for a new system, an existing-system review and a septic tank lookup. Septic is a way to treat household wastewater on the land.
Have the serial number ready. Ask which record search or review fits your land. If you have an old permit or system drawing, include it. If you don’t know whether a system exists, say so. An old house or a neighboring home does not answer whether a buyer’s new plan will work.
You don’t need to solve every question before asking about an offer. A clear note helps a buyer review the land and shows which checks remain. See our land seller document checklist, or tell us about your land with what you know now.
Start here: You don’t need every land record to ask about selling. Share the location, acres if known, and any questions about ownership or access. Before accepting an offer, compare the price, costs, and money you keep. Tell us about your land.
Start with the details you already have. If we can make an offer, you can compare it with your other options before deciding.
Share the location and acres if you know them. Tell us about any loan, shared owners, or access questions.
Ask which costs the buyer pays, what may come out of your payment, and what could change the closing date.
If you accept an offer, the closing team checks the ownership records and helps prepare the sale papers. Ask what they need from you.
A larger offer isn’t always a better deal. Ask for a written breakdown of the costs and amounts taken out of your payment.
For example, a $30,000 offer with $2,000 in costs leaves $28,000 before any loan or tax balance. Compare that with an offer that lists those costs differently.
Ask whether the buyer can cancel after checking the land. Read any deadline and what happens to the deposit.
You can compare a direct sale with listing the land or finding a buyer yourself. Think about the time, work, and costs each choice takes.
Missing records or signatures can delay a sale. Ask for a target date and a list of things that still need to be checked.
Use our land offer worksheet to compare the details side by side. The dollar amounts above are a simple example, not an estimate for your land.
Start with the location, acres if known, and the names of the owners. A tax bill, deed, or land ID number can help us find the right parcel. If you don’t have them, tell us what you know.
A land ID number or map pin can be more useful than a street address. Share the closest road and any old tax bill or deed you have. Don’t guess an address for empty land.
Compare the offer price, costs you pay, amounts taken out, and the planned closing date. Ask what must happen before the buyer is ready to close. Check the money you keep rather than the price alone.
Ask for a written estimate before you sign. A loan balance, unpaid taxes, or costs assigned to you may reduce the money you receive. Make sure the agreement says which costs each side pays.
Tell us about it when you share the land details. Ask the closing team to check the current balance and explain how it would be paid. Don’t assume an offer includes every debt or fee.
Tell us who is listed on the deed and who else may have an interest in the land. Share any estate papers you have. Ask the closing team which documents and signatures are needed before setting a closing date.
Yes, you can share it for review. Tell us how you reach the land and whether you have a written right to cross another property. An access issue can affect whether we make an offer and how much a buyer will pay.
The timing depends on the land, the ownership records, and the steps in the sale agreement. Ask which checks are still open and who needs to sign. We’ll discuss a target date if we move forward with an offer.
Start by comparing similar land that has sold. Size alone isn’t enough: road access, allowed uses, water, and other features can change what buyers will pay. An asking price or a tax value is not the same as a completed sale price.
Ask who will buy the land, who will handle closing, and how payment will reach you. Get the price, costs, and deadlines in writing. If a term is unclear, ask for an explanation before signing.
The serial number points to a specific parcel in county records. Land may have no street address, and an address may not describe every parcel you own. Start with the serial number and confirm the acres and map.
The county’s planning office serves land outside city limits. For land inside a city, contact that city’s planning office. Check the parcel location before relying on a zoning answer.
Get a written answer for the exact parcel and proposed split first. For land outside city limits, the county’s zone clearance process can explain the status and conditions. Inside a city, ask the city’s planning office.
