For Alabama landowners
Sell Land in Alabama for Cash. No Realtor, No Fees.
USA Land Group buys land in Alabama directly from owners. Send us your parcel, get a written cash offer within 3–5 business days, and close through an Alabama closing attorney in 2–6 weeks. No listing, no commission, no closing costs taken from your price.
How do I sell land in Alabama without a realtor?
You can sell land in Alabama without a realtor by agreeing on a price directly with a buyer and closing through an Alabama closing attorney or title company. Alabama does not require an agent for a land sale. The attorney searches the title, prepares the warranty deed and records it at the county probate office.
With USA Land Group you skip the listing entirely. We are the buyer, we pay for the title work and closing, and you sign once at closing or by mobile notary.
How fast can I sell my land in Alabama?
Most Alabama owners get a written offer from us within 3–5 business days and close 2–6 weeks after accepting. The timeline depends mainly on how quickly the title search comes back from the county probate records. Listing rural land with an agent in Alabama typically takes 6–18 months.
What kind of Alabama land does USA Land Group buy?
We buy rural land of 20 to 500+ acres anywhere in Alabama with legal access. That includes timber tracts (standing or cut-over), hunting land, pasture and former row-crop ground, inherited land with several heirs, land with back taxes, and tracts owned by people who have moved out of state.
We are most active in north Alabama, including DeKalb, Jackson, Marshall, Morgan, Cullman and Blount counties, where we also hold land for sale in Alabama. We buy statewide, from the Tennessee Valley to the Wiregrass.
How much is my Alabama land worth?
Rural land in Alabama sells for roughly $3,000 to $8,000 per acre on large tracts, with timber tracts at the lower end once the timber is cut and buildable acreage near Huntsville, Birmingham or the Gulf Coast at $12,000 to $25,000 per acre or more. Our offer is based on acreage, road frontage, zoning, soil, floodplain, timber value and recent land sales in your county. You get one written number with nothing deducted from it.
Should I cut the timber before I sell?
Usually, no. Merchantable pine or hardwood adds value to the tract, and we price standing timber into our offer. Cutting first leaves you with a clear-cut parcel that sells for less and a timber check that is taxed as income. If you have a recent timber cruise, send it with the parcel details and we will use it.
How does the process work?
Selling land to USA Land Group takes four steps and about a month.
- 01
1. Send us the property.
County, parcel number or road, approximate acres. We pull the rest from county revenue records. - 02
2. We research it.
Access, zoning, soil, floodplain, timber and a preliminary title search, usually in 3–5 business days. - 03
3. One written offer.
The number on the offer is what you receive. No fees or commissions are deducted. - 04
4. Close in 2–6 weeks.
Through a licensed Alabama closing attorney. You sign; they record the deed and wire your funds.
What does it cost to sell land in Alabama?
Selling land to USA Land Group costs you nothing out of pocket. We pay the title search, survey if needed, deed preparation and closing fees. Alabama's deed recording tax of $0.50 per $500 of price is customarily the seller's cost, and we pay it on your behalf. The only deductions are amounts needed to clear title, such as back taxes or a mortgage, paid to the county or lender at closing.
If you listed with an agent instead, a 6–10 percent commission on land is standard in Alabama.
Can I sell inherited land in Alabama?
Yes. Inherited land in Alabama can be sold once title has passed to the heirs, either through probate or, for land held long enough without a probate, an affidavit of heirship and a title examination. Heirs' property is very common in Alabama, and we buy it regularly. The closing attorney collects every owner's signature by mail or mobile notary if the family is spread across states.
If probate is still open, we can work with the estate's attorney and close when it settles. Alabama's Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act also gives co-owners the right to buy out a share before any forced sale, which we can help coordinate.
Will I owe taxes when I sell land in Alabama?
Alabama taxes capital gains as ordinary income at up to 5 percent, and federal capital gains tax may apply above your cost basis. Inherited land uses the value at the date of death as its basis, which often means little or no gain. If your land is assessed under Current Use (agricultural or timber), Alabama does not charge rollback taxes when it sells; the new owner simply reapplies. Ask a tax professional about your case.
If you plan to buy another property with the proceeds, read about using land in a 1031 exchange.
A direct sale
Why sell to USA Land Group instead of listing?
Because we are the buyer, not a middleman. We buy with our own capital, hold title to every tract we own, and the same person who reviews your parcel makes the offer and shows up at closing. You can see the Alabama tracts we own and have improved on our buy land in Alabama page.

Questions
Questions Alabama landowners ask us
Can I sell vacant land in Alabama without a realtor?
Yes. Alabama law does not require a real estate agent to sell land. You agree on a price with the buyer and an Alabama closing attorney or title company handles the title search, deed and recording at the county probate office. Selling directly to USA Land Group means no listing agreement and no commission.
Do you buy land anywhere in Alabama?
Yes. We buy land in all 67 Alabama counties as long as the tract is 20 acres or larger and has legal access. We are most active in north Alabama, including DeKalb, Jackson, Marshall, Morgan, Cullman and Blount counties.
How fast can I sell my land in Alabama?
Most sellers receive a written cash offer within 3–5 business days and close 2–6 weeks after accepting. The main variable is how quickly the title search is completed from county probate records.
Who pays closing costs when selling land in Alabama?
USA Land Group pays them. That includes the title search, survey if needed, deed preparation, closing fee and Alabama's deed recording tax of $0.50 per $500. The only amounts deducted from your offer are back taxes, liens or a mortgage that must be cleared to transfer title.
What is Alabama land worth per acre?
Large rural tracts in Alabama typically sell for $3,000 to $8,000 per acre, with buildable acreage near Huntsville, Birmingham or the Gulf Coast at $12,000 to $25,000 per acre or more. Road frontage, soil, timber, floodplain and distance to a town decide where your parcel falls in that range.
Do you buy timber land and hunting land?
Yes. Timber and hunting tracts are most of what we buy in Alabama. Standing timber is priced into the offer, so you do not need to cut it first. Cut-over land is also fine; we buy it for replanting and future homesites.
Can I sell inherited land or land with several owners?
Yes. We buy heirs property across Alabama. Every owner on the deed or in the estate signs, and the closing attorney arranges mail-away or mobile notary signings for family members in other states. If probate is still open, we close once the estate can convey.
What if my land has back taxes or a lien?
We can still buy it. Delinquent taxes and most liens are paid from the sale proceeds at closing, so you pay nothing up front. If the county has already sold a tax lien or tax certificate on the land, tell us; it can usually be redeemed at closing.
Do I need to visit the property or be in Alabama to sell?
No. Many of our Alabama sellers live in Georgia, Florida, Texas or out of the country. We research the land from county records and a site visit by our team, and you sign closing documents by mail or with a mobile notary wherever you live.
Is USA Land Group a legitimate land buyer?
Yes. USA Land Group is based in Midlothian, Virginia, buys land with its own capital and holds title to every tract it owns. You can view our current Alabama land for sale and call the team at (888) 416-8804. All closings run through a licensed Alabama closing attorney.
