Local data
Mohave Valley 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 86440 area (Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area 86440); owners with a mailing address in that ZIP give Mohave Valley as their city; this is a ZIP area, not a city boundary; lots with no coordinate are in no place in Mohave County.

What moves the price in Mohave Valley
Water service changes within the valley
A Mohave Valley mailing name does not identify one water system. The Arizona Corporation Commission says Bermuda Water serves a portion of Bullhead City, Fort Mohave Mesa and the northern part of Mohave Valley. In its September 2026 rate decision, the commission described roughly 9,460 residential and 530 commercial customers across those areas and approved an annual rate-adjustment mechanism. Those figures describe the utility, not service to a particular lot. Parcel Buyers confirms the actual provider, service territory and connection path during review. [3]
Small parcels make zoning and utilities decisive
The assessor-based count includes 1,876 lots coded vacant inside ZCTA 86440, with a median area of 0.18 acres. The most common bucket is patio-home lots at 40%. On a smaller lot, zoning setbacks, easements and the difference between sewer acceptance and septic approval can have a larger practical effect. Mohave County will not assign an address to vacant land, and it says electric service begins through the first building permit rather than as power for vacant land. We examine those conditions before offering. [1],[6],[4]
Flood review applies before site work in mapped areas
A parcel-specific flood check matters in a river-valley setting, but this page does not assign one flood zone to ZIP 86440. Mohave County reviews flood concerns through its One Stop process. In a special flood hazard area, construction, grading and solid walls or fencing require a Floodplain Use Permit, and a new building or substantial improvement needs an Elevation Certificate. The county lists 20 working days for its overall flood review when the application is complete. Existing access, drainage paths and intended work all belong in the parcel analysis. [5]
The recorded-sale group is not the whole market
The county's most recent recorded sale on lots still coded vacant, dated 2025, is counted only when a warranty or special warranty deed transfers one lot. In the Mohave Valley ZIP area, 55 records pass that filter; their median is $45,000, with the middle half at $25,800–$72,500. Multi-parcel deeds are removed, and a parcel later changed from vacant status will not appear. The result is a narrow reference set. Utility coverage, lot dimensions, access, title and flood findings still determine an individual cash offer. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Mohave Valley in these situations
Your lot is in the ZIP area but outside a utility territory
Yes. A lot does not need an active regulated-water connection to be sold. The ACC confirms that Bermuda covers only the northern portion of Mohave Valley, so the ZIP name alone cannot establish a provider. Mohave County allows a well permit or another approved source in its dwelling checklist. Parcel Buyers checks the available water path, access and title before offering. We buy lots with no completed utility work, and the inspection is our only contingency. If the land does not pass that inspection, you pay nothing. [3],[4]
The parcel is small and you are unsure what fits
Yes. You can sell without first proving a house layout. Mohave County says setbacks depend on zoning, grading of 100 cubic yards or more needs a permit, and a dwelling file needs water and wastewater approvals. Those rules show why a future-use study is parcel-specific. Our offer review considers the recorded lot, dimensions, access, available services and title. You do not need to order plans or perform grading for us. Closing remains through an independent licensed title company, with no seller fees or commissions. [6],[4]
A tax balance is growing while you decide
Yes. The land may still be sold while taxes are past due, subject to a title-company payoff. The Treasurer says the late-payment rate is 16% annually, prorated monthly, and the owner remains responsible even without receiving a bill. With your consent, taxes or recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds. The title company obtains current figures, records the deed and disburses the remainder by check or wire. That allows the balance to be resolved within the closing rather than through a separate trip to the county. [9],[10]

Questions
Selling land in Mohave Valley: common questions
Does ZIP 86440 mean my lot is inside a city?
No. This page uses Census ZCTA 86440, an approximate ZIP area made from census blocks. It is not an incorporated-city boundary. The assessor count assigns lots by parcel coordinates and leaves lots with no coordinate out of every place page.
Does Bermuda Water serve all of Mohave Valley?
No. The Arizona Corporation Commission says Bermuda serves the northern portion of Mohave Valley along with other Mohave County areas. The specific lot must be checked against the utility's approved service territory and connection requirements.
Can I sell without getting a zoning letter first?
Yes. Parcel Buyers can begin its review without a zoning letter. Zoning still affects the offer because county setbacks depend on the parcel's classification, and the county Planning and Zoning Division handles general zoning questions.
Do I need to pay delinquent taxes before contacting you?
No. Contact can begin before the balance is paid. The title company verifies taxes and liens, and with your consent approved amounts can be deducted from proceeds at closing. Mohave County says taxes remain due even when the bill was not received.
Will you buy a lot with no sewer connection?
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant lots without completed sewer work. We check whether sewer acceptance or an on-site septic path appears available and reflect that in the offer. Mohave County requires one of those approvals for a complete future dwelling application.

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]
- 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 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 86440 area (Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area 86440); owners with a mailing address in that ZIP give Mohave Valley 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. Lot-size sale rows use the same qualified 2025 sale cohort and canonical square-foot classes; classes with fewer than 10 sales are omitted.
