Texas Land in All 254 Counties

Texas has more counties than any other state, and its land ranges from Hill Country acreage in Gillespie and Kendall counties to Piney Woods timber, South Texas brush and Trans-Pecos ranchland. The market is deep but crowded. Recent market data shows about 59,000 parcels for sale against roughly 17,200 sold in a year, near 47 months of supply. Listings averaged about 141 days on market, and the median asking price was around $145,500. Texas does not make sale prices public, so asking prices are the best guide.

Texas sellers pay no state transfer tax and no state income tax, and title companies handle most closings, with deeds recorded by the County Clerk. The harder questions are about what lies under the land and how it has been taxed. Mineral rights are very commonly severed in Texas, and a buyer will want to know which minerals convey. Land with an agricultural valuation can owe five years of rollback taxes when that status ends. Groundwater generally belongs to the landowner under the rule of capture, though local districts may regulate pumping.

EasyLotBuyer buys Texas land for cash in every county, whether you own the minerals or only the surface. Our offer arrives within 24 hours. There are no fees or commissions, we pay closing costs, and we can close in as few as 7 days. Land with back taxes, liens, title problems or no road access qualifies.

To see the listing route step by step, including mineral and ag checks, read our Texas guide.

  • Texas has no state transfer tax and no state income tax.

What Affects Land Value in Texas

Understanding these key factors helps you evaluate what your Texas vacant land is worth.

Location & Proximity

Land near cities, highways, and amenities commands higher prices. Remote parcels in Texas may sell for less per acre but attract buyers seeking privacy or recreational use.

Road Access & Utilities

Paved road frontage and available utilities (water, electric, sewer) significantly increase land value. Landlocked parcels or those requiring well/septic typically sell at a discount.

Zoning & Permitted Use

Residential, commercial, or agricultural zoning directly impacts what a parcel is worth. Land zoned for development in growing Texas markets often carries a premium.

Parcel Size

Smaller lots typically command higher per-acre prices, while larger tracts offer lower per-acre rates but higher total value. Texas's most active market segment varies by county.

Farmland Values in Texas

According to USDA data (2023), Texas cropland averages $2,490/acre and pastureland averages $2,070/acre. The overall average farm real estate value in Texas is $2,610/acre. These agricultural benchmarks provide context for rural land pricing, though individual parcel values depend on soil quality, water access, and improvements.

Taxes and Closing Costs for Selling Land in Texas

Capital Gains Tax

When you sell land in Texas for more than you paid, the profit is subject to capital gains tax. If you've held the property for more than one year, you'll pay long-term capital gains rates (0%, 15%, or 20% federally, depending on your income).

State tax: Texas has no state income tax. This means you only pay federal capital gains tax — no additional state tax on your land sale proceeds.

Closing Costs in Texas

Transfer Tax

None (no state transfer tax)

Recording Fees

$15-$40

When you sell to EasyLotBuyer, we cover all closing costs including transfer taxes, recording fees, title search, and title insurance. The cash offer you receive is the amount you take home.

Attorney & Closing Requirements

Texas does not require an attorney for real estate closings. Transactions are typically handled by a title company.

Texas requires seller disclosures for real property transfers. When you sell to EasyLotBuyer, we guide you through any required disclosures and handle all paperwork.

Mineral Rights in Texas

Mineral rights are very commonly severed in Texas and are a major consideration in any land transaction. If you're unsure about the mineral rights status of your property, include this information when you submit your property details and our team will research it during due diligence.
