Local data
What is land in Caswell County worth?
These are county-qualified 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.
| Vacant residential lots | 2,726 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 North Carolina parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Mini-estate (2-3 acres) (70,000–140,000 sq ft): 26% of vacant lots; next, small acreage tract (7-10 acres) at 12%. Median lot: 2.06 acre (89,730 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical county assessed value | $18,800 median county assessed value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $11,300 and $27,400 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few county-qualified vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Caswell County [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 16% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside North Carolina (most often VA, MD, FL) [1] |
| Dan River monitoring in the county | Official USGS water-data records place monitoring points on the Dan River inside Caswell County, in the Lower Dan subbasin. A river through the county can mean floodplain or drainage limits on nearby tracts that a plain tax search will not show. [4] |
| County-assessed parcel value | Caswell County's tax office and GIS layers carry each parcel's county-assessed value. That figure reflects the county's own appraisal cycle, not a market sale price, an appraisal of what a specific tract would bring today, or an offer. [2] |
| Register of Deeds records | The Caswell County Register of Deeds, Ginny S. Mitchell, is the office that actually holds the recorded deed and plat behind a parcel number, including any easement or legal description a tax card does not reproduce. [2] |
| Zoning and subdivision rules | Caswell County's Planning Department, led by Jason Watlington, administers the county's zoning, subdivision, watershed, manufactured-home and flood damage prevention ordinances, plus farmland preservation. [2] |
| Building permit office | Building Inspections, directed by Shannon Petry, issues residential, commercial and industrial permits from the County Park Road office in Yanceyville. Confirm which approvals a specific project needs before assuming land is ready to build on. [2] |
| Septic and well permitting | Caswell County Environmental Health runs a Water Quality Program for wells and an On-Site Wastewater Program for septic systems, covering site evaluation, permitting, construction, repair and abandonment. Most county land has no public sewer. [3] |
| Property-tax due date and penalty | North Carolina property taxes are due September 1 and accrue interest if unpaid on or after January 6 under state law. State law also allows a county to foreclose a tax lien through court action when taxes stay delinquent. [5],[6] |

How selling land works in Caswell County
What the Caswell County tax account can and can't tell you
Caswell County is still mostly working farmland and timber along the Dan River's tributaries, and the vacant-land file reflects that: 2,726 parcels sit in the dataset, running a median 2.06 acres (89,730 square feet) and carrying a median county-assessed value of $18,800 (the middle half fall between $11,300–$27,400). A mini-estate (2-3 acres) is the single biggest size group, covering 26% of the file. Owner mailing addresses split 84% North Carolina to 16% elsewhere in the U.S. - that only tells you where a tax notice goes, not who lives on or wants to sell a given tract. None of this substitutes for the actual deed and plat on file at the Register of Deeds. [2]
Rural zoning, wells and septic before you assume a tract is buildable
Caswell's Planning Department enforces countywide zoning, subdivision, watershed, manufactured-home-park and flood damage prevention rules, along with a farmland preservation ordinance that reflects how much of the county is still in agriculture. Since most of the county has no public sewer, getting a house approved almost always starts with the On-Site Wastewater Program issuing a septic permit after its own site evaluation, and a private well needs a separate sign-off from the Water Quality Program. Building Inspections only issues the construction permit once zoning and environmental health have cleared a project, and a prior owner's plans for a tract do not carry over automatically. [2],[3]
The Dan River and Caswell's drainage network
USGS water-data records place Dan River monitoring points inside Caswell County's Lower Dan subbasin, part of a wider network that also threads through Moon Creek, Cane Creek and Hyco Creek in the same federal database. That much stream coverage means some tracts carry floodplain limits, drainage easements or watershed-ordinance restrictions on where a structure, septic field or driveway can go - checks that live inside the Planning Department's watershed rules, separate from the building permit itself, and applied parcel by parcel rather than assumed countywide. [4],[2]
Taxes, title and the direct-sale option
North Carolina property owners have until September 1 to pay without penalty, and interest accrues on any balance unpaid as of January 6; a county still unpaid can take the delinquent lien to court and foreclose it. A title check on a Caswell County tract should run through the deed chain, recorded plats and any easements on file with the Register of Deeds, not just the tax account. An owner who would rather skip that work can ask for a direct purchase instead: we check utilities, access and title before making an offer, the offer is written and carries no obligation, and nothing is owed if the land inspection does not pass. There are no fees or commissions, we cover closing costs, and closing runs through an independent, licensed title company, about 10 days after signing, with electronic and mail-away options.

Questions
Selling land in Caswell County: common questions
How many vacant parcels are in the Caswell County dataset?
The published scope lists 2,726 vacant-land parcels. The median parcel is 2.06 acres and the median county-assessed value is $18,800. These are dataset totals, not a count of every possibly vacant property or a valuation of one specific tract.
Does Caswell County's assessed value set your cash offer?
No. County-assessed value is a tax-roll figure from the county's own appraisal cycle. An offer also weighs access, zoning, septic and well feasibility, flood or watershed limits, title condition, carrying costs and any comparable evidence that actually applies to that tract.
Who permits septic systems and wells on vacant land in Caswell County?
Caswell County Environmental Health does, through its On-Site Wastewater Program for septic systems and its Water Quality Program for wells. Both require a site evaluation before a permit issues, and lot size alone does not guarantee a system will be approved.
Does Caswell County have zoning on vacant land?
Yes. The county's Planning Department administers zoning, subdivision, watershed, manufactured-home-park and flood damage prevention ordinances countywide, so a tract's district and any overlay need to be checked rather than assumed from acreage alone.
What happens if property taxes go unpaid on a Caswell County lot?
North Carolina taxes generally accrue interest starting January 6, and a county may pursue court foreclosure on a delinquent tax lien under state law. Get a current payoff from the Caswell County tax office and consult qualified counsel about any open proceeding.

Guides for your situation
- Water, Sewer, Septic, and Wells on Vacant Lots
A vacant lot may use public water, a private well, public sewer, or an onsite septic system, but nearby pipes and neighboring homes do not prove what the parcel can use. Ask each utility for a written availability decision, ask the permitting office whether connection is mandatory, and obtain a qualified site evaluation before saying septic will fit. Keep every response, permit, plan, test, and receipt.
- 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 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 all parcels in Caswell County. Source [1] is our own aggregate count of NC OneMap parcel points or frozen county extracts and the county sale layers named in the source data. Vacant-lot counts use nC has no statewide vacant code. Legacy wave-1 rows retain the frozen county-extract rules in DATA-NOTES-NC.md. The NC2 rule keeps records with improvement value 0, parcel value at least $1,000, known acreage no more than 10, struct not Y, and an owner name that does not match the government, HOA/common-area, church, conservation or utility exclusions. If more than 10% of the pre-struct scope has struct Y, the area uses its verified explicit vacant code or is dropped. Counts do not establish physical vacancy, residential zoning, access, legal-lot status or buildability. Names and addresses are not stored in outputs. Lot sizes use gIS acres on the extract (else record acres, else the parcel polygon area) x 43,560, bucketed with the Parcel Buyers lot sizing chart ([low, high) square feet). Values use county assessed value on the extract from each county's last reappraisal, which is not the same year in every county. Owner locations use owner mailing-address state on the extract; in_state = North Carolina. Junk state codes count as unknown, Canadian provinces as foreign. Onslow's extract carries no mailing state, so Onslow areas report in_state, other_us and foreign as not published (unknown 1.0). Treat medians as a guide to county records, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated November 7, 2026.
