Pricing
What is a lot in Farmville 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.
What moves the price in Farmville
Farmville issues its own permits, inside town and its ETJ
Farmville is an incorporated town, and its own Planning & Development Department issues building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits rather than leaving that to Pitt County. It requires an approved Zoning Compliance Certificate for any new structure, addition, fence or sign before it will issue a permit, and that requirement reaches the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction, not just the corporate limits. Every one of the 431 vacant parcels this page counts inside Farmville's Census boundary falls under that town-level review. Pitt County only takes over permitting on land outside the town's limits and ETJ. [2],[6],[3]
One town department runs water, sewer and electric
Farmville's own Utilities Department supplies water, sewer and electricity inside town limits, and water and electric, but not sewer, to the western part of Pitt County outside town. Its rate schedule, effective August 1, 2026, prices a new water tap at $900 in town or $1,000 outside town, and a sewer tap at $1,000, plus a facility fee of half the tap cost. A lot that already shows a Farmville mailing address is not automatically inside that service area, so the exact parcel location still has to be checked against the town's own utility map. [4],[5]
Lot size and county assessed value vary across town
The most common size among the 431 vacant parcels this page counts inside Farmville is a patio-home lot, 23% of the total. The county assessed value here runs a median of $12,500, with the middle half between $7,700–$24,500. That assessed figure comes from Pitt County's last reappraisal, not a sale price or what a buyer would pay, and it can sit well above or below what a specific lot actually needs in utility or access work before it is build-ready. [1]
Flood mapping and airport access both factor into land here
Farmville has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program and kept Flood Insurance Rate Maps and elevation certificates for the town and its extraterritorial jurisdiction since 1999, with Pitt County Planning holding the maps for the unincorporated area around that boundary. On the access side, the town's own development page cites Pitt-Greenville Airport roughly 20 minutes away along with highway and port access. Both factors, flood status and regional access, play into how a specific lot gets used once it is build-ready, separate from the county's assessed value. [7],[8]
Common situations
Selling land in Farmville in these situations
You're not sure if your lot is inside town or the surrounding county
Yes, you can still request an offer. Farmville's building and zoning review reaches the corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction; Pitt County permitting and septic review take over outside both. Parcel Buyers checks the parcel against those boundaries before pricing a lot, so you do not need to settle that question first. [2],[3]
The lot has no water or sewer connection
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant land with no utility hookup. Farmville's rate schedule prices a new water tap at $900 to $1,000 and a sewer tap at $1,000, plus a facility fee, which a builder would pay later to actually connect; land outside town limits may only have town water and electric available, with no town sewer option at all. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [5],[4]
The parcel sits in a mapped flood zone
Yes, a flood-zone lot can still be sold. Farmville participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and keeps Flood Insurance Rate Maps and elevation certificates for its limits and ETJ dating to 1999. A flood designation changes what a future buyer must do before building, such as carrying flood insurance on any structure, but it does not stop a sale of vacant land today. [7]
You live out of state and have never visited the lot
Yes. 81% of vacant lots in this tax-roll scope carry a North Carolina mailing address for the owner, so the rest are mailed elsewhere in the country or to an unknown address; it does not show where anyone lives today. Electronic signing and a mail-away closing through an independent title company are both available, with payment by check or wire. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Farmville: common questions
Does Farmville or Pitt County handle building permits here?

Is my Farmville lot in a flood zone?
Possibly. Farmville keeps Flood Insurance Rate Maps and elevation certificates for its limits and ETJ dating to 1999, while Pitt County Planning holds the maps for the surrounding unincorporated area. Contact the relevant planning office to check a specific parcel.
How far is Farmville from an airport?
About 20 minutes, by the town's own account, to Pitt-Greenville Airport. Farmville's development page also cites highway access and two deep-water ports within about two hours.
Can I sell a Farmville lot with unpaid property taxes?
Yes. Pitt County taxes become delinquent after January 6, and enforced collection can follow under state law, but with your consent, a verified tax balance can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing.

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.

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 parcel points inside the Census (TIGERweb ACS 2025 vintage) Farmville town boundary (GEOID 3722820). 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.
