Local data
Colorado City land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover vacant lots on the Mohave County Assessor's parcel map service whose parcel coordinate falls inside the ZIP 86021 area (Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area 86021); owners with a mailing address in that ZIP give Colorado City (with some Centennial Park) as their city; this is a ZIP area, not a city boundary; lots with no coordinate are in no place in Mohave County. Local rules and services are sourced below.

Pricing
What is a lot in Colorado City worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Colorado City sold for a median of $97,500 across 13 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $45,000 to $114,000. [1]
These are open-market sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.
What moves the price in Colorado City
Inside-town or county jurisdiction
The assessor cohort is defined by mapped coordinates in Census ZIP area 86021, not municipal limits. The town says the Short Creek valley also includes Hildale and unincorporated Mohave County. Within town limits, Colorado City publishes a Land Usage title. Its airport-overlay code also applies specified overlay rules to property outside town limits where the official drawing covers it. Parcel Buyers checks the parcel's jurisdiction, access, utilities and title before offering instead of treating a postal name as proof of jurisdiction. [2],[3],[1]
Water district and service-area boundaries
Public-water records show why service cannot be assumed from a Colorado City mailing address. ADEQ lists an active Centennial Park Domestic Water Improvement District system with 256 connections and 70,000 gallons per day of design capacity. ADEQ also keeps a Hildale-Colorado City system record with 902 connections and 1.7 million gallons per day of design capacity, but that record is marked inactive. Mohave County reports that separate water projects for Centennial Park and Colorado City were completed in April 2025. A buyer still needs current written service confirmation for the specific lot. [6],[5],[7]
Airport overlay limits near mapped zones
Colorado City's airport overlay can add another review layer. The code divides the controlled area into four zones and applies the mapped zone to each portion of a parcel. In the Approach and Runway Protection zones, exterior glare and upward-projecting or flashing lights are restricted. Some development also requires an aviation easement before a building permit or subdivision approval. These rules matter only where the official overlay drawing reaches the land, so the map and zoning record must be checked rather than inferred from the ZIP. [4]
A small filtered recorded-sale sample
The county's most recent recorded sale on lots still vacant, dated 2025, contains 13 warranty or special warranty deeds in this ZIP area after multi-parcel deeds were removed. The median is $97,500, and the middle half is $45,000–$114,000. Those one-lot deeds are context, not a promise for one parcel. The county full cash value has a median of $95,100, but that is an assessor value, not market value or a sale price. Parcel Buyers separately checks utilities, access and title before offering. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Colorado City in these situations
The mailing address does not settle jurisdiction
A Colorado City mailing address does not establish whether a parcel is inside town limits. The assessor cohort follows mapped coordinates in Census ZIP area 86021, while the town describes Short Creek as including Colorado City, Hildale and unincorporated Mohave County. That distinction affects which zoning office reviews the land and which utility may serve it. Send the parcel information with your offer request, and we will check jurisdiction, access, utilities and title. If the inspection does not work, the seller pays nothing for that failed inspection. [1],[2],[6]
The utility history is confusing
A sale can proceed even when old and current utility records are hard to separate. ADEQ marks the Hildale-Colorado City system record inactive while listing the Centennial Park DWID system as active. Mohave County also reports two completed 2025 water capital projects in the area. Those records do not prove a meter or line reaches your parcel. Parcel Buyers will seek current service information and account for any well, connection, or onsite wastewater work that a future use may require. [5],[6],[7]
You want a remote cash closing
You can complete the sale without traveling to northern Mohave County. 38% of owner mailing addresses in this ZIP-area dataset are outside Arizona. That percentage describes mailing addresses only, not owner motives. Parcel Buyers can send documents for electronic signature or arrange a mail-away closing. An independent, licensed title company checks ownership and recorded issues, then pays by check or wire after the closing conditions are met. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Colorado City: common questions
Are all counted lots inside Colorado City town limits?
No. The count follows Census ZIP area 86021, not the incorporated boundary. The town describes Short Creek as a valley containing Colorado City, Hildale and unincorporated Mohave County, so the parcel's jurisdiction must be confirmed.
Does a Colorado City address prove water is available?
No. ADEQ records identify separate water systems in the area, including the active Centennial Park DWID system, while the Hildale-Colorado City record is marked inactive. A mailing address does not prove that a main, meter, or service commitment exists at a particular parcel.
Could the municipal airport affect how my land is used?
Yes, if the parcel lies inside a mapped airport overlay. Colorado City's code has four overlay zones and applies additional compatibility rules, including limits on glare and upward or flashing light in the Approach and Runway Protection zones. The official overlay drawing controls the answer.
Can I sell with unpaid Arizona property taxes?
Yes, a closing may still be possible. Arizona's normal due dates are October 1 and March 1, with delinquency after November 1 and May 1 at 5 p.m. The title company obtains the payoff, and back taxes can be paid from sale proceeds with the seller's consent.
Will you buy a lot with no completed utility work?
Yes. We buy vacant land with no water, sewer, or road work. We check utility service, access, zoning, and title before offering. The separate systems and recent capital projects around ZIP 86021 make parcel-level confirmation more useful than assuming every lot has the same service.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?
Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]
- 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 Cash Land Buyers Price Offers
A cash-land offer may start with verified sales of land with similar use, then adjust those sales for meaningful differences.[1] Buyers may also account for access, utilities, legal use, size, shape, flood and soil questions, title issues, demand, and costs and risk they will carry. No universal assessed-value percentage applies. Compare each written offer by expected net proceeds, contingencies, seller work, and timing—not one asking price or headline number.

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 vacant lots on the Mohave County Assessor's parcel map service whose parcel coordinate falls inside the ZIP 86021 area (Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area 86021); owners with a mailing address in that ZIP give Colorado City (with some Centennial Park) as their city; this is a ZIP area, not a city boundary; lots with no coordinate 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. 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. Sale figures use each county keeps only a parcel's most recent sale. Mohave uses calendar-2025 WD/SWD records on one parcel per receipt. Pinal uses calendar-2025 W1/X records with unique date-and-price pairs. Santa Cruz joins calendar-2025 recorded sales to current clean parcels, keeps WD/SWD current deed types, $1,000+, one parcel per reception number, and prices no more than 10 times land value plus $20,000. These are conservative recorded-sale proxies, not verified arm's-length flags. Cochise has no free county sale-price source, so its sale rows are suppressed. Treat medians as a guide to county records, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 8, 2026.
