What is my Texas land worth?
Get a rough value range in under a minute. The estimator starts with the latest regional median price per acre from the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center, then adjusts for your acreage, access, utilities, flood exposure, and usable ground. It shows every step, so you can see how the number was built.

How we got there
Under 10 acres: the regional data covers tracts of 10 acres or more. Small homesite lots often trade in their own market, so treat this range with extra caution.
A screening range, not an appraisal or an offer. Recent comparable sales near your parcel are the real test.

Without recorded legal access, a per-acre benchmark would be misleading. Buyers usually discount landlocked land heavily until an easement is secured. Check your deed and title records, or talk with a Texas real estate attorney about an access easement.

These are the starting benchmarks the estimator uses: four-quarter moving median prices per acre from verified rural land sales, published by the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center on August 20, 2026. The statewide median was $5,218 per acre, up 3.27% from a year earlier.

How the estimator works
- Regional benchmark. We start with your region's median price per acre.
- Size adjustment. Smaller tracts usually sell for more per acre, larger tracts for less. We scale the benchmark by your acreage compared with the region's typical tract, between 0.5× and 1.1×.
- Site adjustments. Paved frontage adds 5%, and power plus water on site adds 5%. Gravel or county road frontage takes off 10%, and easement-only access 20%. No utilities takes off 20%, partial flood exposure 10%, and mostly-floodplain 40%. Rough or unusable ground reduces the value by 15–25%.
- Range. We show 20% either side of the result, because two parcels with the same inputs can still sell far apart.
What it cannot see: your exact location, water rights, minerals, deed restrictions, improvements, title problems, and how many buyers are active near you right now. For a closer number, read how much is my land worth and compare real sales.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this land value estimator?
It gives a rough screening range, not an appraisal. It starts from Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center regional median prices for rural land and adjusts for tract size, access, utilities, flood exposure, and usable ground. Actual value depends on recent comparable sales near your parcel and facts a calculator cannot see.
Why does a smaller tract show a higher price per acre?
Smaller tracts attract more buyers and usually sell for more per acre than large tracts of similar quality. The Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center has reported small-tract prices running roughly double large-tract prices statewide.
Why will it not estimate land with no legal access?
Land without recorded legal access has a much smaller buyer pool and often needs an easement or legal work before it can sell at a normal price. A per-acre benchmark would be misleading, so the tool stops instead of guessing.
Does the estimator work for lots under 10 acres?
It will show a range, but treat it with extra caution. The regional data covers rural tracts of 10 acres or more, and small homesite lots often trade in a different market.
Is the estimate an offer from Land and Parcels?
No. It is general market information. If you would like a direct offer, request a property review and we will look at the specific parcel, its records, and nearby sales.
How often is the data updated?
We update the regional figures when the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center publishes a new quarterly report. The current figures are for Second quarter 2026.
Want a number based on your actual parcel?
Share the county, acreage, and what you know about access. We review the records and nearby sales, and there is no obligation to sell.
