In 2025, vacant lots in Maricopa sold for a median of $56,800 across 30 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $28,200 to $79,500. [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 Maricopa

City limits versus the larger ZIP areas

This page is about the ZIP 85138 and 85139 areas, not a municipal boundary. A coordinate inside either Census ZIP area enters the count, so a lot may be governed by the City of Maricopa or by Pinal County. That distinction changes the zoning map, permit office, adopted development rules and sometimes the utility provider. The city runs its own planning, building, engineering, code, stormwater and floodplain functions; Pinal County Building Safety provides plan review and inspections for unincorporated parcels. Jurisdiction should be confirmed before applying those rules. [1],[2],[3],[4]

Public utility area versus on-site systems

Most developed parts of the city use Santa Cruz Water Company and Palo Verde Utilities, both tied to Global Water Resources. The city General Plan also identifies older areas served by the Maricopa Domestic Water Improvement District and a small group of properties that still use septic. A nearby pipe does not prove a particular lot can connect. For an on-site wastewater plan, Pinal County reviews the application, permits construction, and includes up to two inspections in its $296 fee for a conventional system under 2,999 gallons per day. [4],[7]

Wash corridors and floodplain construction

Flood mapping matters here because three major washes cross the city area. Maricopa explains that the so-called 100-year floodplain means a 1% chance each year, not one event every century, and estimates a 26% chance over a 30-year mortgage for structures in a special flood hazard area. New single-lot construction in a mapped floodplain needs a permit separate from the building permit and may have to be elevated one foot above the base flood elevation. Site elevation and drainage can therefore change costs. [6]

Lot mix and the filtered sale sample

The assessor data counts 3,111 vacant-coded lots in the two ZIP areas. The largest size group is patio-home lots at 28%, but the data also contains much larger acreage parcels, so the median size alone does not describe every lot. The filtered sale sample has 30 records, a median of $56,800, and a middle half of $28,200–$79,500. These are Pinal County's most recent recorded sales on lots still coded vacant, dated 2025, limited to one-lot W1 or X records after multi-parcel patterns were removed. [1]

Common situations

Selling land in Maricopa in these situations

Your mailing address is outside Arizona

Yes. You can sell from another state without coming to Pinal County. 18% of the lots in this ZIP-area count have an owner mailing address outside Arizona; that is only a mailing-address measure. Electronic signatures and a mail-away closing are available, and the independent title company can send proceeds by check or wire. [1]

The lot sits outside Maricopa city limits

Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant lots both inside and outside the city because this page covers the full ZIP areas. The practical difference is jurisdiction: city parcels use Maricopa Development Services, while unincorporated parcels generally use Pinal County Building Safety for plan review and inspections. Current boundary maps, not the mailing city, decide which office applies. [1],[2],[3]

Taxes or a lien need to be cleared

Yes. Taxes and recorded liens can often be handled through closing. Pinal County says tax bills above $100 may be paid in halves due October 1 and March 1, becoming delinquent after November 1 and May 1. A tax-lien purchaser may seek foreclosure beginning three years after the lien sale. With your consent, the title company can use sale proceeds for an approved payoff. [8]

Questions

Selling land in Maricopa: common questions

Does this page cover only land inside the City of Maricopa?

No. It covers vacant-coded lots whose mapped coordinate falls in the ZIP 85138 or 85139 Census areas. Those areas include the city and surrounding land. The mailing name does not establish municipal jurisdiction, so city-limit and county maps must be checked before relying on zoning or permit information.

Can I sell a Maricopa-area lot that has no sewer connection?

Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant lots without a sewer connection. The city reports broad sewer coverage but also small older areas that use septic, and surrounding ZIP-area parcels may differ again. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering; Pinal County handles an on-site system's permit and inspection.

Why does the flood map matter before I sell the land?

It matters because floodplain status can add design, elevation, permit, and insurance requirements for a future structure. Maricopa requires a separate Floodplain Use Permit for single-lot development in a mapped floodplain and notes that a structure may need to sit one foot above the base flood elevation.

Do I need to resolve back taxes before requesting an offer?

No. You can request an offer before obtaining a payoff. Pinal County says delinquent tax bears 16% simple annual interest and that tax-lien foreclosure may begin three years after the lien sale. With your consent, liens or back taxes can be paid from the proceeds at closing.

Can I close without traveling to Maricopa?

Yes. Electronic signing and mail-away closings let an owner complete the sale from another state. The closing runs through an independent, licensed title company, subject to title review, and payment can be made by check or wire. Parcel Buyers covers closing costs and charges no fees or commissions.

Guides for your situation

  • 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.

  • 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]

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 Pinal County Assessor's parcel map service whose parcel coordinate falls inside the ZIP 85138 and 85139 areas (Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas 85138, 85139); owners with a mailing address in those ZIPs give Maricopa as their city; this is a ZIP area, not a city boundary; it covers lots in and around Maricopa; 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.
