Meet Dallas Waldon
Land Boss is owned and run by Dallas Waldon, who founded the company in 2018 and still serves as CEO. On Arizona vacant parcels she sets the cash number herself and stays reachable from the first Assessor or Treasurer notice through the County Recorder stamp.
We buy Arizona vacant ground with company cash already on hand. After the deed records you are finished with lender approval queues.
Prices for vacant Arizona land vary a lot by location. A Maricopa County lot on the Phoenix metro fringe with year-round road access draws a different buyer pool than a Pima County Tucson-basin acreage cut from a larger ranch. Pinal corridor leftovers, Yavapai/Prescott foothill tracts, and rural Mohave, Coconino, Apache, or Navajo parcels that never took a house rarely share a number with suburban fringe lots. A wash or arroyo crossing, a missing recorded driveway approach, or a thin-utility rural tract can move value even when two parcels show similar acre counts.
A cash figure for vacant Arizona acreage typically comes in under what a listing-ready retail sale might reach. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
Prefer the phone? Call (916) 262-7241. Have the newest county tax bill ready, the Assessor parcel ID (APN), any survey or recorded easement language, notes on wash/arroyo or shared-drive access, and every name that must sign. Mention limited truck access, a private lane, or an unrecorded two-track up front so Dallas does not treat a pinched approach like open county-road frontage.
When Arizona tax bills keep coming for vacant land nobody will build on
Each year the county still bills Arizona vacant acreage. Owners living in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, or farther away often keep writing checks on ground they rarely visit. Some local owners bought a Maricopa fringe lot or a Pinal corridor cutout for a house that never got built. Others inherited a Pima Tucson-basin leftover, a Yavapai foothill tract, or a rural Mohave or Coconino square that no longer belongs with a working ranch. When the Assessor notice and the Treasurer bill keep arriving, a full retail listing can feel like more work than the parcel is worth.
An Arizona cash sale often comes up when owners face:
- Annual county tax bills arrive for vacant ground with no construction plan
- Truck access depends on a private lane, wash/arroyo crossing, unrecorded two-track, or a shared driveway without clear paper
- Covenants, thin utilities, or a hard-to-reach rural lot already made agent showings feel impractical
- They want a written company-cash figure in about two business days instead of another listing season across several counties
- Out-of-state co-owners in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, or Colorado need a clean proceeds split without hosting shoppers on a hard-to-reach tract
Lived-in desert houses, mountain cabins people still occupy, and seasonal cottages still used for weekends fall outside what Land Boss buys. We open files on bare lots, rural acreage, non-operating farm leftovers, and Maricopa / Pima / Pinal / Yavapai / Mohave / Coconino tracts with limited road or utility service. If an empty structure is still meant to be treated as vacant land, note it on the form so Dallas can confirm fit without delay.
What Arizona vacant files we open, and which we pass
Files we typically open include bare lots, rural acreage, pasture or farm cutouts, and leftover farmland a truck can reach with title that can close. Ownership transfers by deed and records at the county Recorder. We usually pass on lived-in dwellings, condominiums, and operating farms. An empty building offered only as vacant land can still be discussed.
Naming Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, Mohave, or Coconino on the form only tells us which county holds the parcel. In Arizona the County Assessor values the roll, the County Treasurer (tax collector) bills and collects property taxes, and the County Recorder records conveyances. Most deeds must carry an Affidavit of Property Value under A.R.S. § 11-1133, unless an exemption under A.R.S. § 11-1134 is noted on the instrument. Arizona Department of Revenue Form 82162 is the current Affidavit of Property Value.
How an Arizona cash review moves from the tax bill to recording
Begin with the parcel ID already printed by your County Assessor
Start with the APN or street address your county already uses, name the county, and give an approximate acre count. Add what you already have on hand: newest Treasurer tax bill, deed or recording number, surveys, easement wording, wash or access notes that affect next use, and contact info for every heir or co-owner. Call out limited access, a private lane, a wash/arroyo, or a shared driveway before Dallas locks a figure.
How Dallas builds an Arizona vacant-land cash number
Dallas reviews the Assessor card, compares nearby vacant sales that actually closed, weighs shape and truck access, notes covenants or wash/arroyo issues that change next use, confirms title looks closable, and opens FEMA layers when flood risk is on the map. Parcel facts (shape, access, Phoenix fringe versus rural Mohave or Coconino) set the cash figure. Maricopa metro-fringe comps seldom drop cleanly onto a remote Apache or Navajo County cutout. When your packet is complete, Dallas usually sends a written cash number within two business days. You can accept it, turn it down, or hold it beside a listing.
Closing finishes when the County Recorder accepts the deed
After you accept, an Arizona title or escrow company runs title and records at the county Recorder. Arizona does not charge a percentage realty transfer tax on deeds. The Affidavit of Property Value under A.R.S. § 11-1133 and ordinary recording fees under A.R.S. § 11-475 are what clear at that desk on a typical cash sale. A cash sale to us skips listing photos and open houses. Closing timing tracks title clearance plus when every signer is ready.
Cash sale, agent listing, or Arizona FSBO
Arizona owners usually weigh a direct cash buyer against a realtor listing and FSBO. How fast you need a firm number, and how much Maricopa-Pima-Pinal fieldwork you want to carry, usually decide the choice.
Sell to Land Boss for cash
- Timing: On complete Arizona packets a written cash figure typically arrives inside two business days. Closing rides title clearance instead of a showing calendar.
- What you pay: A purchase straight to Land Boss carries no realtor commission from us. Title costs, County Recorder recording under A.R.S. § 11-475, and Affidavit of Property Value filing under A.R.S. § 11-1133 follow your contract. Arizona has no percentage deed transfer tax; confirm fee allocation in the settlement statement.
- Condition: Vacant land as-is. Staging, shopper brush cleanup, and buyer-loan contingencies are not part of the deal.
- Price: The cash number often sits below a retail finish that could burn an entire showing season. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
- Who writes the check: Land Boss company cash; Dallas stays on the Arizona file through the County Recorder stamp.
Market it with an agent
- Timing: Rural Arizona listings often stretch across months of photography, long showing drives, and buyer contingencies.
- What you pay: Broker commission usually leaves proceeds only after a financed buyer actually funds.
- Condition: Shoppers and lenders frequently want cleaner legal access, surveys, and clear wash or easement answers before writing.
- Price: Retail can work when demand is strong and buyers can reach the parcel without fighting a private-lane, wash, or shared-drive problem.
- Who writes the check: A financed or cash retail buyer who clears contingencies — often with a lender attached.
Handle FSBO on your own
- Timing: You set the ask, place the ads, and answer every inbound call yourself.
- What you pay: Ads and yard signs may cost little. Your time usually does not. Arizona FSBO closings still tend to need title work, County Recorder recording, and an Affidavit of Property Value (Form 82162) unless an exemption applies.
- Condition: Access puzzles, wash questions, and easement notes stay on your desk until a buyer writes.
- Price: Putting a high ask on paper will not by itself deliver a better net when you carry every task.
- Who writes the check: Whoever you find and qualify - if the County Recorder will accept the deed with the Affidavit of Property Value or a proper § 11-1134 exemption note.
Owners weigh calendars differently. Choosing cash compresses the timeline and typically leaves some upside on the table. Listing and FSBO preserve more upside while shifting fieldwork onto you. Owners who spent a season trying to show a remote Mohave cutout or a Pinal corridor leftover often request a cash figure after the listing stalls. That choice is about the calendar, not a verdict that retail pricing was wrong.
Documents that speed up an Arizona review
Send these if you already have them:
- Newest county tax bill plus Assessor parcel ID (APN) / legal description
- Current deed or earlier conveyance showing how title is held, with County Recorder recording number if you know it
- Survey, plat, or recorded easement language covering private-lane, shared-drive, wash/arroyo, or two-track access
- Any recorded use covenants or plat restrictions already in your files
- Names and contact details for every heir or co-owner who must sign
You do not need these just to ask:
- A fresh appraisal ordered only for our intake
- Cleared brush, new fencing, or staged listing photos
- An active listing agreement with a realtor
- Buyer loan pre-approval - company cash we already control funds the purchase
Arizona Affidavit of Property Value, recording fees, and county desks
No percentage realty transfer tax — Affidavit and recording fees are the story
Arizona does not impose a statewide percentage realty transfer tax on deeds. Arizona Constitution Article IX, § 24 bars new real-property sale or transfer taxes after December 31, 2007. A flat $2 real-estate transfer fee under A.R.S. § 11-1132 is included inside the County Recorder's charge under A.R.S. § 11-475. The general recording fee is currently $30 per instrument for most papers. Do not relabel ordinary recording charges as a percentage deed tax. Confirm current county acceptance practice at the Recorder that holds your parcel.
Affidavit of Property Value (Form 82162) must accompany most deeds
Under A.R.S. § 11-1133, each deed evidencing a transfer of title (and any contract relating to the sale of real property) must have an Affidavit of Property Value appended at recording unless an exemption under A.R.S. § 11-1134 is noted on the face of the instrument. The County Recorder shall refuse to record without a complete affidavit or a proper exemption notation. Arizona Department of Revenue Form 82162 is the current form; County Assessors and ADOR use the data for valuation. Current form and instructions: ADOR Affidavit of Property Value. FAQ overview: ADOR Property Tax FAQs.
Affidavit of Disclosure is a different paper
Do not confuse the Affidavit of Property Value with the Affidavit of Disclosure under A.R.S. § 33-422. That disclosure affidavit applies when a seller conveys five or fewer parcels of land (other than subdivided land) in an unincorporated county area. It must be furnished at least seven days before transfer, gives the buyer a five-day rescission window after receipt, and is recorded with the deed. Your title or escrow company will say which affidavit (or both) the conveyance needs. Applicability is a legal question for the actual file.
Assessor, Treasurer, and Recorder each own a desk
On Arizona vacant-land files, use the correct county names. The County Assessor values the roll. The County Treasurer (tax collector) issues and collects the property tax bill. The County Recorder records the deed and collects recording fees. Example county desks: Maricopa County Assessor, Maricopa County Treasurer, Maricopa County Recorder, Pima County Assessor.
The Assessor figure is not Land Boss's offer
Assessor figures exist for taxation and drive the county tax bill. Those roll numbers are not what Land Boss pays. Dallas builds the cash price from vacant comps, access, shape, title posture, and next-use facts.
Regions locate the pin — they do not set one statewide price
Arizona sellers commonly hold land on the Maricopa/Phoenix metro fringe, around Pima/Tucson, along the Pinal corridor, in Yavapai/Prescott country, or in rural Mohave, Coconino, Apache, or Navajo Counties. Naming the county on the form only locates the pin. Phoenix-fringe demand does not automatically price a remote Coconino plateau cutout the same way.
Private-lane, wash/arroyo, and shared-drive access is not the same as year-round frontage
Many Arizona parcels sit behind a private lane, cross a wash or arroyo, or share a driveway. When access rests on a handshake or a rough shared drive, flag that early. A pinched approach prices differently than open year-round county-road frontage.
FEMA maps on washes and low ground
Washes, arroyos, and some metro-fringe low ground can carry flood designations that change the buyer pool. When flood risk looks plausible, Dallas opens the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. A flood-zone label shifts the cash math without automatically ending the review.
Out-of-state owners and multiple signers
People in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado frequently own Arizona vacant ground. Extra names on the deed usually lengthen title work rather than causing an automatic decline. Title cannot close until every deeded name — or valid estate authority — is ready.
USDA farm averages versus your vacant acre
USDA NASS reported Arizona farm real estate (land and buildings on farms) at $4,180 per acre for 2025. Read that statewide farm average as background context, not a quote on your vacant lot. A Maricopa fringe acre and a remote Mohave cutout will not share the same number. Figure from the USDA NASS Land Values 2025 Summary.
Arizona vacant-land FAQs
Can I ask for an Arizona cash review without listing first?
Yes. Arizona sellers usually start on this form or by phone rather than from an active listing. Share county, APN, and acre estimate. If the parcel fits, Dallas typically returns a written cash figure inside two business days.
What does the USDA Arizona farm real-estate average mean for vacant acres?
Use the $4,180-per-acre 2025 NASS figure as statewide farm land-and-buildings context. It is not a price for Maricopa fringe lots, Pima Tucson-basin leftovers, Pinal corridor cutouts, or rural Mohave/Coconino parcels. Your cash number comes from access, title posture, and local demand.
When does a written Arizona cash figure usually come back?
Once the facts are complete, packets usually get a reply quickly. Missing deed names, fuzzy access, unpaid taxes, or unclear wash notes can stretch the timeline. Call (916) 262-7241 when you would rather talk through the facts by phone first.
Who records the deed, and how do Affidavit and recording fees clear in Arizona?
The County Recorder is the recording office. Arizona has no percentage realty transfer tax. Most conveyances need an Affidavit of Property Value under A.R.S. § 11-1133 (Form 82162) unless an § 11-1134 exemption is noted. Recording is generally $30 per instrument under A.R.S. § 11-475, with the $2 fee under § 11-1132 included in that charge. Most Arizona title companies prepare the deed package and Affidavit.
Is there a realtor commission when Arizona land sells straight to Land Boss?
Land Boss does not charge a realtor commission on a sale straight to us. Title, Affidavit of Property Value, and recording charges still follow Arizona law and your contract. Whatever you already owe under an active listing agreement with a broker remains your obligation under that contract.
Can someone living in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, or Colorado sell Arizona land?
Yes. Owners in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado sell Arizona vacant land to us often. Line up every deeded signer — or valid estate authority — before closing. Wet-ink overnight mailing or remote notarization follows whatever rules the title company sets.
What if the County Treasurer shows unpaid Arizona taxes?
Past-due tax balances do not block the first review. Arrears usually come from proceeds, or as your contract assigns, so the Treasurer clears with the deed. Attach the tax statement so Dallas can price with arrears visible.
Does the Assessor value equal Land Boss's cash offer?
No. Assessor values exist for the tax roll. The cash offer is what we will pay for as-is vacant ground we can take by deed after access and title review.
Can the review proceed without a new survey?
Not by itself. Opening the file usually takes your existing deed plus County Recorder records. Access that cannot be verified may pause the file. Skip ordering a brand-new survey just to request a cash look.
Why do Maricopa fringe lots and rural Mohave cutouts price differently?
Buyer pools differ. Phoenix metro-fringe demand, year-round roads, and services do not match remote Mohave or Coconino access or a heavier farm-leftover story. Similar acre counts by themselves almost never explain the full price gap.
Do you buy lived-in desert houses, mountain cabins still occupied, or seasonal cottages still in use?
We stay focused on vacant land, so occupied uses fall outside that lane. If people live there or the parcel is a primary residence, say so at the start so we can decline quickly instead of opening a false file.
Does a wash, arroyo, or shared driveway block an Arizona cash review?
Not automatically. Note whether any easement is recorded and whether truck access is reliable year-round. Dallas will say quickly whether the vacant surface matches what Land Boss buys.
Dallas Waldon has owned Land Boss since founding it in 2018 and stays with Arizona vacant-land files through recording. Prefer the phone? Call (916) 262-7241.
Ratings, Arizona reply timing, and how to start
Google ratings from closed sellers appear on the Land Boss profile. How fast we reply depends on packet completeness and how quickly every signer answers. Start with the form on this page or call the phone line. Requesting a figure does not lock you into a sale. One sentence about private-lane access, a wash or arroyo, or unpaid taxes often prevents another email round.
