A vacant lot in a city or subdivision: mowing liens, HOA dues and the lot nobody built on

An empty lot in town is a small property with a long list of ways to cost money: mowing citations, HOA dues, a lien from the city for cleaning it up. Here is how a direct sale settles all of it.

What usually attaches to a city lot

Why these sell direct

A single lot is too small for most listing agents to spend time on and too much hassle to carry. A land buyer who already owns lots in the same subdivision, or a builder, is the usual end user; the referral puts your lot in front of one of them.

Questions people ask

The city has a lien for mowing. Can I still sell?

Yes. It's paid at closing out of the sale price.

The HOA says I owe three years of dues.

Normal. The HOA gives the title company a payoff figure and it's deducted at closing.

There's no water or sewer to the lot.

Say so on the form; the buyer prices the tap fees.

You get a call within 24 hours, usually the same day. One Texas land buyer checks the parcel and gives you a written offer with a closing date. No survey, no clean-up, no commission, no fee to you, and no list of companies calling. Buyers in this network typically pay the closing costs; the written offer spells out exactly what they cover.

  • 1. Tell us the county, the kind of land and the situation. Two minutes.
  • 2. You get a call within 24 hours. Your request goes to one Texas land buyer, not to a list.
  • 3. They check the parcel and put the offer in writing. Take it, or take it to a land broker and compare.

A cash as-is offer is below full market value. We say that up front because the buyer will too.
