We do not have land for sale in Pima County listed today, so this page gives you what acreage around Tucson has been selling for, in the price table on this page, and a way to tell us what you want. One thing first: if you were looking for the town of Pima, that is in Graham County, on the Gila River, with a 2020 population of 2,847. Our Pima town page covers it. This page is about Pima County, which holds Tucson, Marana, Vail and Sahuarita.

Mostly smaller parcels: only 2% of sales were 40 acres or more. Expect building lots and small acreage rather than big tracts.
Parcels between 2 and 10 acres took a median of 89 days to sell once listed.
Prices have risen — the typical per-acre price was roughly 6% higher in 2026 than in 2025. Waiting has not made land here cheaper.
1553 land sales closed in and around Pima County over the last two years. This is the middle half of what they went for, per acre. Price per acre drops as parcels get bigger, so the sizes are kept apart.

Our sales file shows Pima County sales tagged as vacant between October 2024 and August 2026. Most of them are in-town lots and homes that the data mislabelled: the under-two-acre group has a median price at house-price levels on a median 0.19 of an acre. The price table on this page leaves out lots under half an acre, but read its under-2-acre row with care all the same, because what is left in it is still small in-town lots. The town comparisons below use parcels of two acres and up, after screening out sales with a building on the record.
The price table gives the sale count and the typical price per acre for each size, counting sales of half an acre and up over the last two years. Look at the 2-to-10-acre and 10-to-40-acre bands together. The median price of a 2-to-10-acre parcel and of a 10-to-40-acre parcel differ by less than 2 percent, because the price per acre drops about 80 percent between the two bands. A 4-acre parcel and an 18-acre parcel sold for about the same money. The numbers do not say why, but a buyer in this range is not paying by the acre. If you are buying, 18 acres has not cost more than 4.
Tucson is the expensive end for 2 to 10 acres: 239 sales. Vail followed on 83 sales at about 80 percent of Tucson's median price, and Sahuarita on 39 sales at about 58 percent. Marana was the cheapest of the four, with 68 sales at about 44 percent of Tucson's median, which is about a third of Tucson's price per acre. Oro Valley had 14 sales, too few to build on.
For 10 to 40 acres the order changes. Vail had 30 sales, Tucson 31 and Marana 14. Per acre, Marana's figure ran about 55 percent above Tucson's and Vail's about 19 percent above it. If you want land that is not near Tucson, Ajo is the entry price: 33 sales under two acres and nine sales of 2 to 10 acres, the latter at a median about a third of Tucson's for the same size.
Of the screened sales of two acres and up, ZIP 85641 in Vail leads with 115. Next is 85736 in the Tucson area with 61, then Sahuarita's 85629 with 52 and Marana's 85658 and 85653 with 47 and 44.
Against that, our land listings database shows how fast each clears. Sahuarita's 85629 had 35 sales in three months against 159 active listings, 18 percent. Vail's 85641 had 29 against 184, 14 percent, and 85653 in Marana 27 against 175, 13 percent. The one Tucson ZIP that clears our hot gate of at least 40 percent is 85747, with 20 sales against 25 listings. It is a Tucson ZIP with a small supply, and we would not read it as a signal about acreage. For the rural ZIPs the market is slower, and a buyer has time.
The parcel file flags 17,713 of the county's 41,958 vacant parcels, 42.2 percent, as landlocked. That is a screen and not a survey, but it is the first question to ask about any parcel. Only about 11 percent, 4,624 parcels, carry a delinquent-tax flag, a much lower share than in Pinal County next door. And 13.3 percent of the parcels are owned from out of state, 5,576 of them, led by California at 1,081, with Illinois a close second at 948 and Pennsylvania at 473.
Water depends on where you are. The Tucson Active Management Area covers 3,866 square miles across Pima, Pinal and Santa Cruz counties, with two sub-basins, Avra Valley and the Upper Santa Cruz. Outside it, or where a parcel is not served by a utility, a domestic well is generally an exempt well under A.R.S. 45-454, a pump of 35 gallons a minute or less with a notice of intent to drill filed first. Ask the seller, and ask a driller, what the water is on that specific parcel.
These are medians, so one 590-acre sale does not drag them around. The town rows for 10 to 40 acres rest on 10 to 31 sales each, enough to show a direction and not enough to price a particular parcel. Where we say a sale was screened out, it had a building on the parcel record or new-home wording in its listing. The screen is a filter and not a title search, and a few houses may still be in the data.
When we list a parcel in Pima County, the listing will say what the legal access is, who maintains the road, what power and water are at the lot line, and what comparable parcels sold for. Because it is outside a city, the seller of five or fewer parcels hands you an affidavit of disclosure under A.R.S. 33-422 at least seven days before transfer, and you have five days after you get it to rescind. We will use the same form on every parcel.
If you want to compare Pima County with the rest of the state, the Arizona land prices per acre page carries the band table for every county. Our pages on Tucson and Vail cover those two markets from the seller's side, and the land for sale page has what we have today.
