Meet Dallas Waldon
Are you planning to sell your land for cash? You're at the right place. We are direct land buyers who invest primarily in raw, undeveloped land, but are happy to evaluate any property you are looking to sell.
If you want to sell land in New Mexico, we can send you a cash offer and buy your raw land in as little as two days! If you are planning to sell your New Mexico land today, click the button below and we'll get started!
Dallas Waldon owns Land Boss and serves as CEO. The company started in 2018. She sets every New Mexico cash figure herself and stays on the file from the county assessor map through the county clerk's recording stamp.
Land Boss purchases vacant New Mexico land with company cash. No outside lender sits between you and our check.
Prices for vacant New Mexico land vary a lot by location. Albuquerque metro fringe lots lean on nearby services, truck access, and how clean the treasurer bill looks. Santa Fe and Española valley acreage turns on water notes, acequia papers, and recorded road access. Las Cruces and Mesilla ground does not price like Farmington or Four Corners pasture. Roswell and Pecos River tracts lean on irrigation clarity. Mountain parcels near Taos or Ruidoso answer to winter access and cabin-use patterns that high-desert plains lots never share.
Begin with the form farther up this page. Parcel ID or street address, the county, and an approximate acre count get Dallas started. The form is not a promise to sell. When the New Mexico parcel fits what we buy, she usually returns a written cash figure in roughly two business days. Accept it, pass on it, or keep it beside any listing already running.
Call (916) 262-7241 when a phone walkthrough of the treasurer bill, agricultural special-valuation papers, OSE water-right notes, acequia share records, NMED liquid-waste files, and every signer beats typing.
A New Mexico cash figure on that same acre often sits below a polished retail ask. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
When New Mexico tax bills keep coming for vacant land nobody will build on
A parent left Rio Grande valley acreage or a high-desert lot outside Albuquerque. Adult children now live in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, California, Oklahoma, or elsewhere. The treasurer still mails a county tax bill. A missing OSE water-right file, an acequia assessment question, or a desert two-track with no recorded easement already froze one listing. Heirs want a clean split of proceeds, not another year of taxes on ground nobody will irrigate or build on.
A cash sale often makes sense in New Mexico when:
- Siblings hold Albuquerque fringe lots, Santa Fe or Española valley acreage, Las Cruces tracts, Farmington pasture, Roswell ground, or mountain parcels near Taos or Ruidoso and do not want another round of weekend showings
- You live outside New Mexico and cannot walk the lines, sit with the county assessor, or check a desert lane for shoppers
- The treasurer keeps billing land nobody plans to graze or improve
- A prior listing stalled on liquid-waste answers, agricultural special valuation under NMSA 1978 §7-36-20, unclear OSE water-right status, acequia or community-ditch paperwork, or a lane that is not a public road
- You want one named company to buy vacant land in its present condition, and you do not pay a realtor commission to us
A broker listing or patient FSBO still owns the peak retail outcome when you can wait. Our cash figure exists so you can place a real number beside those plans before the next treasurer bill lands.
Vacant New Mexico land we review, and files we decline
Vacant land is what we buy. Bare lots, high-desert acreage, pasture, farm splits that are not working commercial farms, mountain parcels when title and access still allow a closing, Rio Grande valley tracts, and Albuquerque fringe lots with no house clear that screen. Out-of-state heirs holding vacant New Mexico tracts clear it too.
We decline:
- A mountain cabin still used every summer, a Rio Grande valley house someone winters in, or a lake or reservoir cabin with weekend occupancy on the deed
- A condo or townhome resale
- An operating dairy, orchard, chile farm, livestock outfit, or commercial ranch sold as a going concern
Land Boss is not a New Mexico brokerage. Dallas will say so when a marketed listing better fits the parcel.
Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Doña Ana, San Juan, Chaves, Taos, and Lincoln are named so you can place a parcel on the map. County names here are map labels only, not a buy promise for every tract in those counties. Valuation sits with the county assessor. Billing and collection sit with the county treasurer. Deed recording sits with the county clerk.
Dallas reviews location, legal access, shape, liquid-waste or soil notes, agricultural special valuation, OSE water-right or acequia flags, and realistic next use. Then she says whether a cash purchase is realistic. Albuquerque fringe lots, Santa Fe valley acreage, Las Cruces tracts, Farmington pasture, and mountain parcels near Taos or Ruidoso rarely share one sales set.
From the county assessor parcel to a New Mexico county-clerk stamp
Start with the parcel already on the assessor statement
Lead with the parcel ID or street address, the county, and an approximate acre count. Attach papers already arriving from the assessor or treasurer when you have them: the latest real estate tax bill, agricultural special-valuation application or notice sheets, every heir and co-owner name, a survey, easement language, NMED liquid-waste or soil notes, OSE water-right numbers or acequia share papers, flood notes, access letters, or estate papers. Skip ordering a fresh appraisal only to inquire. Call out what is missing. An unrecorded desert two-track prices cleaner on day one than after a cash figure is already circulating.
How Dallas prices a New Mexico cash figure
Liquid-waste answers, agricultural special valuation, OSE water-right clarity, acequia or community-ditch status, and recorded road access all move the New Mexico cash number. Shape and nearby vacant sales matter too. Albuquerque fringe lots, Santa Fe and Española valley acreage, Las Cruces and Mesilla ground, Farmington pasture, Roswell tracts, and mountain parcels turn on different access, water, and next-use math. Dallas builds the figure from those facts. Files outside what we buy get a brief decline, not weeks of silence.
Title work, the title company, and the county clerk finish the calendar
New Mexico vacant-land deals usually finish at a title company, then record at the county clerk. Lien payoffs, every required signature, statutory recording fees under NMSA 1978 §14-8-15, and any agricultural special-valuation change the assessor notes set the day you are paid. A cash figure in about two business days is the usual first reply. Closing still waits on title work and signatures. We take the ground without a cleanup first. Mowing and staged photos are not required before a review. Past-due treasurer bills normally surface in title and clear before the clerk stamps.
Cash, a listing, and selling New Mexico vacant land yourself
New Mexico sellers usually weigh three routes. Decide whether a firm close date matters more than chasing every last retail dollar.
Sell to Land Boss for cash
- Timing: When the New Mexico parcel fits, Dallas usually returns a cash figure within two business days. After you accept, the title company and county clerk still control the recording day.
- What you pay: A straight sale to Land Boss does not create a realtor commission on our side.
- Condition: Brush, a rutted desert lane, and dry high-desert corners can stay. Photo-ready clearing is not part of our ask.
- Price: Cash often lands under a retail close that might take a season. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
- Who writes the check: Dallas remains on the New Mexico file through the county clerk's stamp.
Market it with an agent
- Timing: A Santa Fe valley or Albuquerque fringe listing can stay open while liquid-waste work or a water-right question catches up. Financed buyers can still fall apart after that.
- What you pay: Broker commission, plus any survey or cleanup the listing plan requires.
- Condition: Many buyers want a liquid-waste answer, a survey, and a clear truck-access story before they write.
- Price: Retail remains available when a qualified buyer actually records.
- Who writes the check: Recording fees and any agricultural special-valuation change title finds show up in closing work rather than on a broker flyer. The county clerk stamps the deed only after unpaid treasurer bills, recording fees, and every required signature are settled. A cash figure lets you compare that calendar with waiting on a financed offer.
Handle FSBO on your own
- Timing: You own the ask, the ads, and every follow-up on your own schedule.
- What you pay: Ad spend can stay low. Time is usually the larger cost, and most New Mexico sellers still use a title company.
- Condition: An Española valley tract with unclear acequia share papers, a high-desert lot with no OSE water-right clarity, a desert two-track without a recorded easement, and an HOA desert subdivision lot with unpaid assessments all stay on your list until a buyer writes.
- Price: A few FSBO tracts net more. Nothing in FSBO guarantees that outcome.
- Who writes the check: The buyer you find who then funds the close and records at the county clerk.
Pick listing or FSBO when waiting for every retail dollar is realistic. Reach out when you want a named cash figure beside those two plans.
A marketed New Mexico listing usually runs through a licensed broker and a negotiated purchase contract. A Land Boss purchase uses our agreement and a title-company close, with no listing commission owed to us.
Documents that speed up a New Mexico review
Already with the assessor bill and worth sending:
- Parcel number or street address
- County, and a rough acre count
- Newest real estate tax bill from the county treasurer
- Agricultural special-valuation papers under NMSA 1978 §7-36-20, if the assessor has the land in that class
- Names of every heir, co-owner, or trustee who may have to sign
- Any plat, survey, or recorded easement already in the family papers
- NMED liquid-waste, soil, well, slope, flood, or prior septic notes if a listing raised them
- OSE water-right numbers, acequia or community-ditch share papers, or irrigation company statements you already hold
- A short note on how a vehicle reaches the parcel from a public road
- Estate or probate papers if the land passed after a death
Hold off ordering these just for a cash review:
- A new appraisal ordered only for this inquiry
- Cleared brush, graded lanes, or staged photos
- A finished NMED liquid-waste permit on the first day
- A signed listing contract with a broker
Name the gaps early. Known access trouble, a failed liquid-waste test, an agricultural special-valuation question, or missing OSE papers belong in the first note, not once Dallas has already sent a cash figure.
Recording fees, agricultural special valuation, liquid waste, and New Mexico water
New Mexico has no statewide transfer tax; the county clerk collects recording fees
New Mexico does not levy a statewide real estate transfer, deed, or documentary tax on the deed. The county clerk records the instrument and collects a flat recording fee set by statute under NMSA 1978 §14-8-15. The base fee is twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each document filed or recorded, plus another twenty-five dollars for each additional block of ten or fewer entries to the county recording index. A simple warranty deed often records for that base amount whether the price was modest or large. Exact dollars still follow the clerk where the land sits and the index entries on the document. How recording is paid at closing is a contract line. This page does not reprint every county clerk schedule.
Agricultural special valuation can change what the assessor bills
Land used primarily for agricultural purposes can qualify for a special method of valuation under NMSA 1978 §7-36-20 and 3.6.5.27 NMAC. The county assessor values qualifying land on its capacity to produce agricultural products rather than full market value. The owner applies under oath to the assessor, generally within thirty days after the Notice of Valuation is mailed, when the method is first claimed. Once land is valued that way, reapplication is usually unnecessary while use stays primarily agricultural. When use changes, the owner must report it, and the assessor may reclassify the land. Check with the county assessor before treating this year's bill as locked. Any tax shift at closing is a contract line.
The figure on the assessor roll is not our offer
The assessed number exists so the county can build a tax bill. It is not our cash figure and not a promised retail price. Treasurer bills keep arriving for the owner of record even when heirs live out of state. Assessor valuation, treasurer collection, and county-clerk recording stay three separate desks. The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department Property Tax hub explains Notices of Valuation and how county offices handle the roll.
Recording sits with the county clerk
New Mexico land records live with the county clerk for the county where the land sits. Most New Mexico counties use the title "county clerk" for deed recording rather than a separate recorder office. The clerk collects the statutory recording fee when the deed is presented. Fees follow §14-8-15 and the index entries on the document. Confirm with the clerk that serves your county.
Liquid-waste answers come from NMED or the local field office
A recorded deed does not prove a septic system will be allowed. 20.7.3 NMAC (Liquid Waste Disposal and Treatment) sets statewide standards for on-site systems that receive 5,000 gallons or less per day. The New Mexico Environment Department liquid-waste permit process explains applications, site plans, soil profiles, and field-office review. Conventional systems generally need a minimum lot size under the code when no established system exists. Older liquid-waste files you already hold are useful. A brand-new permit is not required for a cash review.
Water rights and acequias are a separate screen from the deed
Irrigation water rights are often appurtenant to the land under New Mexico water law until they are severed through the Office of the State Engineer process. Acequia and community-ditch associations may also have bylaws that affect changes in point of diversion or place of use. Ditch ownership and water-right ownership can sit with different papers. Bring OSE file numbers, acequia share records, or irrigation statements you already have. Missing water papers do not, by themselves, end a cash talk, but they do change what Dallas can price with confidence.
Flood maps are a separate screen from the county-clerk record
Flood risk does not print on the recorded deed. Check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center separately from county land records when the parcel sits near the Rio Grande, a Pecos River reach, or low ground along an arroyo. Attach older flood letters when you already hold them.
A desert two-track is not a recorded easement
A shared driveway the family always used, a neighbor's ranch lane, or a two-track across high desert is not a recorded easement just because relatives remember it. Private land next to state or federal ground is common in New Mexico; we buy the private piece when title is clean. Attach the recorded easement when you already hold one. When the only entry is a remembered two-track, say so up front so Dallas can price access as it truly exists.
Heirs and remote signers add days, not an automatic no
Probate calendars, multiple signers, and remote notarization can stretch the calendar. Lead with the parcel ID and every person who must sign. Title companies commonly arrange remote signing once ownership is clear. Living in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, California, Oklahoma, or elsewhere does not, by itself, end a cash talk.
A statewide farm average will not price this parcel
The Land Values 2026 Summary from USDA NASS put New Mexico farm real estate at $735 an acre. That statewide farm row mixes land and buildings on farms. It is not a cash bid on your vacant New Mexico acreage. Access, water, liquid-waste status, locality, agricultural special valuation, and realistic next use set the number Dallas writes.
New Mexico vacant-land questions sellers raise
Can I sell New Mexico vacant land for cash without a listing?
Yes. A cash sale to Land Boss does not require a prior listing. Dallas prices New Mexico packages herself. Call (916) 262-7241 if talking through the parcel before the form is easier.
What does USDA say a New Mexico farm acre is worth?
The Land Values 2026 Summary from NASS put New Mexico farm real estate at $735 per acre. That statewide farm average includes land and buildings. It is not a quote on your vacant tract.
How fast is a cash review in New Mexico?
When the parcel fits, Dallas usually returns a cash figure in roughly two business days. Closing still follows title and signatures. Brokered listings often stretch longer through showings, financing, and inspections.
Who records the New Mexico deed, and where does the money move?
Title companies handle most New Mexico vacant-land closings. The county clerk records the deed. Recording fees under §14-8-15 and any agricultural special-valuation change title finds sit on the closing calendar.
Is there a realtor commission if I sell straight to Land Boss?
No. Selling straight to Land Boss for cash does not create a realtor commission owed to us.
I live in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, California, or Oklahoma. Can I still sell?
Yes. Living outside New Mexico does not stop a cash sale on its own. Every required signer still has to join the deed, and title still has to clear.
What if the treasurer bill is behind?
Past-due treasurer bills normally surface in title and clear before recording. How those taxes are settled is a contract line. Send the newest bill when you still have it.
Does the assessor value equal your offer?
No. Assessor value exists for county tax billing. Dallas prices the vacant parcel in the shape it is in today. Those numbers often differ widely.
Does agricultural special valuation or a missing liquid-waste file kill a cash talk?
Neither item alone ends the conversation. Either one can move timing and next-use value. Put them when you write us so Dallas can price honestly.
Why would an Albuquerque fringe lot and a Taos mountain parcel not share a price?
Dallas weighs location, legal access, shape, liquid-waste or water notes, and realistic next use. Albuquerque fringe lots and Taos mountain tracts draw from different comps.
Who prices the New Mexico file?
Dallas Waldon. She has owned and run Land Boss since 2018 and still prices each New Mexico package herself.
Do I need to clear brush or grade the lane first?
No. We buy vacant land without a cleanup first. Brush work and a fresh survey are not required just to ask for a review.
Which phone number should I use?
Use (916) 262-7241. That is the only seller line printed on this page.
Closed-seller ratings, New Mexico reply timing, and how to start
Closed sellers give Land Boss about 4.6 out of 5 on Google. That rating is national, not a New Mexico closing tally.
Land Boss has closed vacant-land purchases in all 50 states, including files where the seller lived elsewhere while the New Mexico treasurer bill kept arriving. Dallas still sets each New Mexico cash figure herself.
