Meet Dallas Waldon
Dallas Waldon owns Land Boss as CEO and launched it in 2018. She personally prices every Utah seller package. She stays with that file from the county assessor parcel map until the county recorder stamps the deed.
Land Boss buys vacant Utah land for cash. Company money funds the purchase.
Prices for vacant Utah land vary a lot by location. Wasatch Front and Salt Lake valley fringe lots lean on nearby services, truck access, and how clean the tax roll looks. Utah County acreage turns on septic answers, greenbelt status, and whether a recorded road reaches the tract. Cache Valley ground does not price like Uinta Basin pasture. Southern desert and red-rock empties lean on winter access, water notes, and the drive from St. George or Cedar City. Rural mountain valleys do not share one set of comps with any of those files either.
The form farther up this page is the quickest way to begin. Parcel number or street address, county, and a rough acre count get a review started. Submitting the form alone creates no sale obligation. Fit Utah files usually receive a written cash figure from Dallas inside two business days. Keep it, decline it, or hold it beside a listing already underway.
Call (916) 262-7241 when a phone walkthrough of the treasurer bill, greenbelt papers, local health-department septic notes, water-right or ditch-company details, and every signer beats typing.
A Utah cash figure on that same acre often lands below a polished retail ask. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
Utah cash when the treasurer still bills acreage nobody will improve
A parent left Cache Valley pasture or a Utah County split. Adult children now live in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, California, or Wyoming. The county treasurer keeps mailing a bill. A local health-department soil test, a greenbelt rollback question, or a mountain two-track with no recorded road easement already stopped one listing cold. Owners want a clean split of proceeds, not another tax year on ground nobody will irrigate or build on.
A cash sale often makes sense in Utah when:
- Siblings hold Wasatch Front empties, Utah County acreage, Cache Valley pasture, southern desert lots, Uinta Basin ground, or rural mountain-valley tracts and do not want another round of weekend showings
- You live outside Utah and cannot walk the lines, sit with the county assessor, or check a private lane for shoppers
- The treasurer keeps billing land nobody plans to irrigate or improve
- A prior listing stalled on septic, a missing soil exploration, Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt status, water-right paperwork, or a lane that is not a public road
- You want one named company to buy vacant land as it sits, and you do not pay a realtor commission to us
Peak retail still belongs with a broker or patient FSBO when you have months to wait. The cash figure we send exists so you can put a real number next to those plans before another tax bill lands.
Vacant Utah land we review, and files we decline
Vacant land is the review screen. Empty lots, dry pasture, farm splits that are not working commercial farms, Wasatch Front lots when title and access still allow a closing, Utah County acreage, Cache Valley tracts, southern desert and red-rock lots, Uinta Basin ground, and rural mountain-valley parcels with no house all fit that screen. Out-of-state heirs holding vacant Utah tracts fit the same screen.
We pass on:
- A Wasatch cabin still used on ski weekends, a lake cabin with someone on the deed living there between seasons, or a heated valley house that someone winters in
- A condo or townhome resale
- An operating dairy, orchard, nursery, livestock outfit, or commercial farm sold as a going concern
Land Boss does not hold a Utah brokerage license. Dallas says so when a marketed listing serves the parcel better.
Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Washington, Cache, and Tooele are named so you can place a parcel on the map. County names are orientation only. That list is not a promise we buy every tract in those counties.
Dallas weighs location, legal access, shape, septic or soil notes, Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt status, water-right or irrigation-company flags, and realistic next use. After that read she tells you whether a cash purchase is realistic. Wasatch Front lots, Utah County acreage, Cache Valley pasture, southern desert tracts, and Uinta Basin ground rarely price from the same sales set.
From the county assessor parcel to a Utah recorder stamp
Start with the parcel already on the assessor statement
Begin with the parcel number or street address, the county, and a rough acre count. Papers already arriving from the assessor or treasurer help: the newest real estate tax bill, Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt or Urban Farming Assessment papers, every heir and co-owner name, a survey, easement language, local health-department septic or soil notes, water-right numbers or irrigation-company share papers, flood notes, access letters, or estate papers. Do not order a fresh appraisal merely to inquire. Send the papers you already hold. Call out the gaps. An unrecorded access problem prices cleaner on day one than after a cash figure is already circulating.
How Dallas prices a Utah cash figure
Septic and soil results, greenbelt status, water-right notes, and whether a recorded road reaches the tract move the Utah cash number. Parcel shape and recent vacant closings nearby matter as well. Wasatch Front lots, Utah County acreage, Cache Valley pasture, southern desert parcels, Uinta Basin ground, and rural mountain-valley parcels price from different access, water, and next-use math. Dallas builds the cash number from those facts. Parcels outside what we buy get a short decline, not weeks of silence.
Title work and the county recorder finish the calendar
Utah vacant-land deals usually finish at a title company, then record at the county recorder. Lien payoffs, every required signature, statutory recording fees, and any Farmland Assessment Act rollback tax that title finds set the day you are paid. A written cash figure inside two business days is the usual first response. Closing still depends on title work and signatures. We purchase the ground in its current condition. Mowing, staged photos, and brush clearing are not required just to request a review. Past-due treasurer bills normally surface in title and clear before the recorder stamps.
Cash, a listing, and selling Utah vacant land yourself
Utah sellers usually weigh three options. Choose by whether a firm date matters more than squeezing the last retail dollar.
Sell to Land Boss for cash
- Timing: Fit Utah parcels usually get a written cash figure inside two business days. After acceptance, the title company and the county recorder still set the recording day.
- What you pay: A sale straight to Land Boss does not add a realtor commission on our side.
- Condition: Brush, a rutted lane, and dry desert corners can stay. Photo-ready mowing is not something we require.
- Price: You receive a cash figure that often sits under a retail close that might take a season. Certainty and speed are what you trade for that gap.
- Who writes the check: Company funds cover the purchase. Dallas remains on the Utah file through county-recorder recording.
Market it with an agent
- Timing: A Wasatch Front or Cache Valley listing can stay open while a local health-department soil test or greenbelt question catches up. Buyer financing can still fall apart after that.
- What you pay: Broker commission, plus any surveys or cleanup the listing plan calls for.
- Condition: Many buyers want a soil exploration, a survey, and a clear truck-access story before they write.
- Price: Full retail remains possible when a qualified buyer actually records.
- Who writes the check: Any Farmland Assessment Act rollback tax that title finds shows up in Utah closing work rather than on a broker flyer. The county recorder stamps the deed only after unpaid treasurer bills, recording fees, and every required signature are settled. A cash figure lets you weigh that calendar against waiting on a financed offer.
Handle FSBO on your own
- Timing: The ask, the ads, and every follow-up stay on your calendar.
- What you pay: Ad spend can remain light. Your hours are usually the larger cost, and most Utah sellers still use a title company.
- Condition: A Wasatch Front lot with no local health-department soil exploration, Utah County acreage still carrying Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt classification, and a mountain two-track with no recorded road easement all stay on your list until a buyer writes.
- Price: Some FSBO tracts net more. That outcome is never guaranteed.
- Who writes the check: Whoever you find who then funds the close and records at the county recorder.
Choose listing or FSBO when waiting for every retail dollar is realistic. Contact us with the parcel when you want a named cash figure sitting next to those two plans.
A marketed Utah listing usually involves a licensed broker and a negotiated purchase contract. Selling to Land Boss uses our purchase agreement and a title-company close, without a listing commission on our side.
Documents that speed up a Utah 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
- Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt or Urban Farming Assessment papers
- Names of every heir, co-owner, or trustee who may have to sign
- Any plat, survey, or recorded easement already in the family papers
- Local health-department septic, soil exploration, perc, well, slope, or flood notes if a prior listing raised them
- Water-right numbers, Division of Water Rights printouts, or irrigation-company / ditch-company share papers if you hold them
- A short note on how a truck reaches the parcel
- Estate or probate papers if the land passed after a death
Hold off ordering these merely to ask:
- A new appraisal ordered only for this inquiry
- Cleared brush, mowed edges, or staged photos
- A finished local health-department soil exploration on the first day
- A signed listing contract with a broker
Name the gaps early. Known access trouble, a failed soil test, a greenbelt question, or missing water-right papers belong in the first note, not after a cash figure is already circulating.
Greenbelt rollback, recording fees, Utah septic, and water rights
Farmland Assessment Act greenbelt can leave a rollback tax
The Utah Farmland Assessment Act, also called greenbelt, lets qualifying agricultural land be assessed on productive capability instead of market value. Private farmland generally needs at least five contiguous acres actively devoted to agricultural use, with two prior years of qualifying use and production that meets the county standard. Applications go to the county assessor, usually by May 1 for a new filing. When land is withdrawn from the program, a rollback tax can apply. That bill is the difference between greenbelt taxes paid and the taxes that would have been due at market value, looking back a maximum of five years. The Utah State Tax Commission Property Tax Division oversees the program statewide while county assessors classify land and administer rollback. Who pays any rollback at closing is a contract question. This page is not legal, tax, or appraisal advice.
Urban Farming Assessment is a separate, smaller-acreage option
Some Utah counties also run the Urban Farming Assessment Act for irrigated agricultural parcels that are too small for ordinary greenbelt. It only applies where the county has adopted an ordinance. Rollback rules still look back up to five years when land leaves the program. Confirm status with the county assessor before you treat this year's bill as fixed.
The figure on the assessor roll is not our offer
That assessed number exists so the county can bill. It is neither a Land Boss cash figure nor a promised retail price. Tax bills keep arriving for the owner of record, even when heirs live out of state. The county assessor values the land. The county treasurer bills and collects. Those offices stay separate.
Utah has no statewide transfer tax; the recorder collects a flat fee
Utah does not charge a statewide real estate transfer tax on the deed. The county recorder records the instrument and collects a flat recording fee set by statute under Utah Code §17-71-407. As one published example, the Utah County Recorder fee schedule lists $40 per document plus small add-ons for extra legal descriptions. Exact dollars can differ by county and document type after legislative updates, so confirm with the recorder where the land sits. This page does not reprint a statewide fee table. Who pays recording at closing is a contract question.
Septic answers come from the local health department
A recorded deed does not prove a septic system will be allowed. Local health departments permit ordinary onsite systems with design flows of 5,000 gallons per day or less under Utah Administrative Code R317-4. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality Onsite Wastewater Program certifies onsite professionals and handles larger underground systems. Soil exploration and percolation work must be done by a certified professional. County health pages such as the Salt Lake County septic page explain local permit steps. Older soil or perc reports you already hold are useful. A brand-new soil exploration is not required merely to ask for a cash review.
Water rights can sit apart from the land deed
In Utah, water is public property, and a right to use water is administered by the Utah Division of Water Rights. A water right can be owned separately from the land where it is used. Perfected water-right title is recorded at the county recorder, and ownership on Division records is updated with a Report of Water Right Conveyance. Irrigation-company or ditch-company shares are also common on Utah acreage and may carry separate transfer rules. Flag water-right numbers, company share certificates, or a known lack of water in the first note so Dallas can price the file without cleaning it up first.
Flood maps are a separate screen from the recorder stamp
Flood risk does not print on the recorded deed. The FEMA Flood Map Service Center is a separate lookup from county land records. Use it when the parcel sits near a river, a valley drainage, or low ground along the Wasatch Front or in southern washes. Older flood letters should travel with the file if you have them.
A Forest Service two-track is not a recorded road
A shared driveway the family always used, a neighbor's farm lane, a Forest Service or BLM two-track, or a ditch-company maintenance road is not a recorded easement just because the family remembers it. Attach the recorded easement when you have one. When the only way in is a remembered lane, say that up front so Dallas can price access as it truly exists.
Heirs and remote signers add days, not an automatic no
Probate calendars, several signers, and remote notarization can stretch the timeline. Begin with the parcel ID and every person who must sign. Utah title desks commonly arrange remote signing once ownership is clear. Living in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, California, or Wyoming does not, by itself, block a cash sale.
A statewide farm average will not price this parcel
The Land Values 2026 Summary from USDA NASS put Utah farm real estate at $3,650 an acre. That statewide farm figure mixes land and buildings on farms. The average is not a cash bid on your Utah acreage. Access, water, septic, locality, greenbelt status, and what a next owner can do with the ground set the number Dallas writes.
Utah vacant-land questions sellers raise
Can I sell Utah vacant land for cash without a listing?
Yes. Vacant Utah land can go to Land Boss for cash without a listing first. Dallas handles the Utah review herself. Call (916) 262-7241 if a phone conversation before the form works better.
What does USDA say a Utah farm acre is worth?
NASS published $3,650 per acre for Utah farm real estate in the Land Values 2026 Summary. The average covers land and buildings on farms statewide. Your vacant parcel is not priced from that statewide row.
How fast is a cash review in Utah?
Fit parcels usually receive a cash figure within about two business days. Closing comes later and turns on title work plus signatures. Marketed listings often run longer while showings, financing, and inspections finish.
Who records the Utah deed, and where does the money move?
Utah vacant-land closings usually run through a title company. The county recorder records the deed. Recording fees and any Farmland Assessment Act rollback tax that title finds sit on the closing calendar.
Is there a realtor commission if I sell straight to Land Boss?
No. A straight sale of vacant Utah land to Land Boss does not create a realtor commission we collect.
I live in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, California, or Wyoming. Can I still sell?
Yes. Out-of-state residence does not block a cash sale by itself. Every required signer still must join the deed, and title work still has to clear.
What if the treasurer bill is behind?
Past-due taxes usually surface in title and get settled before the deed can record. How those taxes are paid is a contract line. Attach the newest treasurer bill when you still have it.
Does the assessor value equal your offer?
No. The assessment exists so the county can build the tax bill. Dallas prices your vacant parcel in its current condition today. Those two figures often sit wide apart.
Does greenbelt classification or a failed soil exploration kill a cash talk?
Neither fact alone ends a cash talk. Either one can change timing and what a next owner will pay. Mention them in the first note so Dallas can price the file honestly.
Why would a Wasatch Front lot and southern desert acreage not share a price?
Dallas looks at location, legal access, shape, septic or soil notes, water rights, and what a later owner could actually use. Wasatch Front lots and southern desert tracts do not share one comp set.
Who prices the Utah file?
Dallas Waldon. She has been owner and CEO since 2018, and she still prices each Utah package herself.
Do I need to mow or clear the parcel first?
No. We purchase vacant land in its current condition. Brush clearing and a fresh survey are not required merely to request a review.
Which phone number should I use?
Dial (916) 262-7241. That is the only seller phone listed on this page.
Closed-seller ratings, Utah reply timing, and how to start
Closed sellers rate Land Boss 4.6 out of 5 on Google across reviews on Google. The score is national. It is not a Utah closing count.
Land Boss has purchased vacant land in all 50 states, including files where the seller lived elsewhere while the Utah treasurer bill kept arriving. Dallas still sets every Utah package price herself.
