How much is my land worth?

Only a sale tells you for sure. But you can get close by knowing what buyers and appraisers look at. Here's the list.

This page is not an appraisal. For a written value you can rely on, hire a licensed appraiser.

What sets the value

Six things that move the number.

Comparable sales

What similar land nearby sold for recently. Similar means close in size, use, access, and location. This is the starting point for almost every appraisal.

Access

A county road frontage is worth more than a private easement, and an easement is worth more than no legal way in. Land with no road access is the hardest to sell.

Utilities

Electric and rural water at the road make land easier to build on. So does soil that can take a septic system.

Minerals

Mineral rights can be owned separately from the surface. Whether you own them, and whether they come with the sale, can change the price. The deed records at the county clerk show what's been conveyed. An attorney or landman can read them with you.

Two other numbers

The assessor's value isn't the market value

Oklahoma law has the county assessor value land each January 1 at its "fair cash value": what it would bring at a fair, voluntary sale, based on how the land was actually used the year before (Title 68, Section 2817). Farm and pasture land is valued by its use.

So the assessor's number is a tax figure. It can be well above or below what a buyer would pay for the land today.

The statewide average

USDA's Land Values 2025 Summary puts Oklahoma's average farm real estate value, land and buildings, at $2,540 an acre for 2025.

That's a statewide average across every kind of farm and ranch land. It's useful for scale, not for pricing one tract.

Getting a real number

Hire an appraiser, ask an agent, or ask us.

A licensed appraiser gives you a written opinion of value. The Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board licenses appraisers in the state. A real estate agent can pull recent sales near you.

If you're thinking of selling, we'll look at the county records and the road and make you one written offer, with how we got to it. That's an offer, not an appraisal.

Tell us about your land

No obligation, and no number until we've looked.

Only your name, email, and where the land is are required. Fill in what you know and skip the rest. Sending this doesn't commit you to anything.
