| Unincorporated, La Paz County governs | Salome is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in La Paz County, with about 1,162 residents at the 2020 census. La Paz County's Community Development Department, not a city hall, handles zoning and permits. [2],[3] |
| ZIP 85348 is the county's field, not a city line | This page covers lots the La Paz County Assessor's own situs ZIP field lists as 85348; it is the county layer's internal ZIP, not a postal service boundary, a Census ZIP area or city limits, and lots with no ZIP on record are counted in no place. [1],[3] |

| Floodplain status is checked parcel by parcel | The Arizona Legislature delegates floodplain management to each county's flood control district, and La Paz County directs owners to FEMA's maps and its own floodplain permit form before building, rather than giving a blanket area status. [6] |

Pricing
What is a lot in Salome / ZIP 85348 area worth?
What moves the price in Salome / ZIP 85348 area
The ZIP-area scope follows the county's own field, not a map
This page covers 1,340 parcels the La Paz County Assessor codes use 13 or 14 (vacant residential rural) whose own situs ZIP field reads 85348, the Salome area. That is the county layer's internal ZIP value, not a U.S. Postal Service boundary or a Census ZIP area, and a lot with no ZIP on the county record is not counted here at all. The median parcel is 0.22 acre, or 9,430 square feet, and standard city lots are the largest size group at 41%. La Paz County's free parcel layer publishes no value field and no sale-price field, so this page shows no county full cash value and no 2025 sale figures. That is a source limitation, not a statement about market activity. [1],[3]
Water comes from a named local company, not a city system
La Paz County's own water-provider list names the Salome Water Company as the utility serving this area, separate from the Wenden Water Company that serves the next town over. There is no municipal water department here because Salome has never incorporated; county government handles land-use and permitting instead of a town hall. A lot's actual hookup status with the Salome Water Company, or whether it instead relies on a private well, still needs its own confirmation rather than an assumption drawn from the area's name alone. [4]
Septic and floodplain rules run through the county, lot by lot
La Paz County's Community Development Department reviews septic site plans and issues construction authorizations under authority the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality delegated to the county, and separately directs owners to FEMA's flood maps and its own permit form before building near a wash. Neither process gives this whole ZIP area one blanket status; a buyer needs the specific parcel's septic suitability and flood-zone placement, not a general statement about the Salome area as a whole. [5],[6]
Many owners mail their tax bill out of state
Owner mailing records on the county's parcel layer show 51% of lots in this ZIP area list a mailing address outside Arizona, with California and Washington the two largest other-state groups. That is a mailing-address fact only; it says nothing about why an owner holds the lot or whether they live there. Combined with a local median age of 68.1 at the 2020 census, it also means a meaningful share of these lots change hands through heirs who have never visited the parcel rather than through a resident owner. [2]
Common situations
Selling land in Salome / ZIP 85348 area in these situations
You inherited a desert lot from an older relative
Yes. Salome's 2020 median age was 68.1, with most residents 65 or older, so a lot changing hands through an estate is common here, not unusual. We buy vacant land even when heirs have never seen the parcel or confirmed its water and septic status. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with your consent, and electronic signing and mail-away closings mean you do not have to travel to La Paz County to sell. [2]
You are not sure your lot is actually in the 85348 ZIP area
That is worth checking before you assume either way. This page's count follows the La Paz County Assessor's own situs ZIP field, not the U.S. Postal Service's ZIP boundary or a Census ZIP area, and a lot with no ZIP on the county record would not appear in this count at all. We do not require you to confirm the ZIP classification yourself: send us the parcel number and we will check the county record, access and title before making an offer. [1]
Your lot has no confirmed water-company hookup
Yes, we still buy it. The Salome Water Company is the area's named utility on the county's own list, but that does not prove every lot has an active hookup, and some parcels in this area rely on a private well instead. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering, so you do not need to resolve the water question yourself first. The only contingency is our land inspection, which costs you nothing if it fails. [4]
You live outside Arizona and want a simple closing
Yes. About half of the owners of record in this ZIP area already mail their tax bill outside Arizona, so a remote closing is the normal case here, not an exception. Electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire are standard. Closing runs through an independent, licensed title company, typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title, and we check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [2]

Questions
Selling land in Salome / ZIP 85348 area: common questions
Is Salome a city or town I can get a building permit from?
No. Salome is an unincorporated community; it has never formed its own city or town government. La Paz County's Community Development Department handles zoning, septic and floodplain permits for the area instead of a local city hall.
Is ZIP 85348 the same boundary as the Salome community?
Not exactly. This page's 1,340 parcels follow the La Paz County Assessor's own situs ZIP field reading 85348, which is the county's internal data value, not a Postal Service ZIP boundary or a Census ZIP area. A lot with no ZIP entered on the county record is not counted in this page at all.
Who provides water to lots in the Salome area?
La Paz County's own water-provider listing names the Salome Water Company as the local utility. The county does not run a municipal water system here, so a specific lot's hookup status, or whether it relies on a private well, needs its own confirmation.
How do I get a septic permit for land near Salome?
Apply through La Paz County's Community Development Department, which reviews site plans, issues construction authorizations and inspects new systems under authority delegated by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The county's own page lists a $100 fee tied to a related well approval; confirm the septic fee directly with the department.
Why doesn't this page show a 2025 sale price or lot value for this area?
La Paz County's free parcel layer does not publish a sale-price field or a value field for any area in the county, so no free source exists to pull a 2025 median or a county full cash value from. That is a data-source gap, not a statement that lots never sell.
What is Alamo Lake State Park and how far is it from Salome?
Alamo Lake State Park is an Arizona state park 37 miles north of Wenden, next to Salome, known for bass fishing, cabins and dark-sky stargazing. Arizona State Parks' own page lists the Salome area as the nearest stop for fuel and propane before heading in.

Guides for your situation
- How to Sell Land in a Flood Zone
Flood-zone land can be sellable and sometimes buildable. A FEMA flood zone describes mapped risk; it is not a building permit. The buyer must verify the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and any map changes, then ask the local floodplain administrator what elevation, floodway, coastal, permit, and design rules apply.[1][2][4] Vacant land itself is not covered by an NFIP policy; flood insurance covers qualifying buildings and contents, not land value.[5][6]
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- How to Sell Land From Another State
You usually do not have to travel to sell land in another state. A title company, escrow company, or closing attorney can coordinate title review, approved signing and notarization, recording, and payment by check or wire. The main limits are state-specific deed rules and title: every owner and signer must have authority. Independently verify the parcel, closing company, and payment instructions before signing.

Every area we buy in the county
How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover lots the La Paz County Assessor codes use 13 or 14 (vacant residential rural) whose situs ZIP on the county layer is 85348, the Salome area; this is the county's own ZIP field, not a city boundary or a Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area, and lots with no ZIP on the record are in no place. Source [1] is our own aggregate count of public parcel records from the named Arizona county assessor. A place scope may be a ZIP area, assessor market area or normalized subdivision family; use the exact scope and do not treat it as municipal limits or a buildability finding. No free sale-price source was available for this area, so no sale row is shown. Vacant-lot counts use mohave: use codes 0001-0004 and 0011-0014, improvement value 0, non-exempt, positive acreage, with government and HOA owners excluded in-query. Pinal: use codes 0011, 0013 and 0014 with legal class 02RL, with government and HOA owners excluded in-query. Cochise: use_code 0011 or 0013 and accttype Vacant. Santa Cruz: IMPVAL=0 and LANDVAL>0, excluding county-owned, under-0.05-acre, and HOA records. Vacant nonresidential and agricultural parcels are not derived (0). Pima: parcel use 0011, 0012, 0013 or 0014 with positive GIS acreage. Graham: account type Vacant with positive GIS acreage. La Paz: property use code 13 or 14 with positive acreage. Government and HOA owners are excluded in-query in all three; because none of these three layers carries an improvement-value field, each county was screened with a seeded 150-centroid sample against the FEMA/ORNL USA Structures public layer (Pima 1/150, Graham 0/150, La Paz 4/150). Lot sizes use mohave PARCEL_SIZE acres; Pinal LANDSF square feet or STATEDAREA acres when blank; Cochise acres; Santa Cruz Acreage. Acre fields are multiplied by 43,560 and bucketed with the Parcel Buyers lot-size chart ([low, high) square feet). Values use county full cash value on the current record: Mohave FULL_CASH_VALUE, Pinal CNTASSDVAL, Cochise fcv and Santa Cruz FCV. These are assessor values, not sale prices or buildability findings. Pima full cash value (FCV). Graham and La Paz publish no value field, so their value row is withheld. Owner locations use owner mailing-address state on the county record; in_state = Arizona; blank state = unknown. Treat medians as a guide to county records, not as an offer or an appraisal.
