Reviewed June 2026 with 2025 USDA data
Texas farm real estate averaged $2,970 an acre in 2025 (USDA NASS), and the state carries an effective property tax rate of about 1.68 percent (Tax Foundation). Idle Texas land quietly costs money every year it sits, which is one reason many owners choose a direct cash sale over holding or listing.

Texas is enormous and no two regions are alike, but they share one thing: a lot of rural land owned by people who never use it. Inherited acreage, a recreational tract that stopped getting visited, a speculative buy out west that never went anywhere.
We buy raw acreage with no access, recreational and hunting tracts, farmland and pasture, and vacant lots, including the parcels that sat unsold with an agent. Access, ag valuation and location all get factored into a straight written offer.
Three very different Texas land markets, and we buy across all of them.
Brewster, Presidio, Hudspeth, Culberson and Terrell, where large, remote, low cost scrub and desert tracts are often bought speculatively and rarely used.
Llano, Burnet, Bandera, Kerr and Val Verde, cedar and oak country with recreational and ranch tracts of every size.
Houston, Trinity, Polk, Cherokee and Angelina, the Piney Woods, with timber and rural acreage across the region.
Texas has its own rules around tax and valuation that shape what idle land costs and how a sale works. Here is what matters.
Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes run high, which makes holding unused land genuinely expensive.
An agricultural or wildlife management valuation holds taxes down, and losing it, or a change of use, can raise them and trigger a rollback. We factor your status in.
Each county's CAD appraises your land, and disagreements over those values are common across the state.
Texas sells tax foreclosed property on the first Tuesday of the month at the courthouse, so back taxes have a clock. We clear them at closing.
An average is only a starting point. Your number comes from the parcel, not the state.
USDA puts Texas farm real estate near $2,970 an acre, 41 of the 48 states it tracks.
Across 254 counties, from $950 an acre in Roberts County up to $15,245 in Galveston County.

What Texas land owners ask us most, with the local detail that matters.
Yes. Large, remote tracts in West Texas and the Trans-Pecos with no road, water or power are common, and often bought years ago on a whim. That is exactly the kind of parcel we buy. We price it for what it is and where it is.
We factor it in. A parcel with an agricultural or wildlife valuation carries a much lower tax, and a change of use can trigger a rollback. We account for your land's current status, and we are not put off by land that has lost it.
Yes, very often. A lot of Texas rural acreage is owned from out of state. The whole sale runs remotely, you sign from home, and a licensed Texas title company handles the deed and recording.
Usually, if you move quickly. Texas holds property tax foreclosure sales on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. As long as the parcel has not yet been sold, we can often close and pay the county first, then put the rest in your hands.
Texas farm real estate averaged about $2,970 an acre in 2025, according to USDA NASS. Raw and recreational parcels usually trade below that average and cropland above it, so your acreage and land type set your real number.
Texas has an effective property tax rate of about 1.68 percent (Tax Foundation), so land valued at $100,000 runs roughly $1,680 a year in property tax. Vacant land earns nothing while you hold it, which is one reason many owners choose to sell.
