If you own Texas land you used for hunting, camping or getaways and do not use it anymore, you can sell it as it is. Before you do, check three things: any hunting lease still running, the property tax valuation and what a change of use triggers, and how the land is reached. We look at recreational land as it is and make a written offer with no obligation.
1. Any hunting lease. If you lease the land to hunters, a buyer will ask about it. Keep a copy of the lease and its end date, and check what it says about a sale. Texas A&M AgriLife's Texas Agriculture Law program explains that a landowner who leases land for hunting for any compensation must hold a Hunting Lease License from Texas Parks and Wildlife. Our guide on leasing your land for hunting or selling it compares the two.
2. The tax valuation. Much Texas hunting land carries an agricultural or wildlife management valuation. The Texas Comptroller says wildlife management counts as an agricultural use only for land that was already qualified, and that if land changes to a non-agricultural use, rollback tax is due for each of the previous three years. A sale by itself is not a change of use, but the buyer's plans can be. See rollback taxes on Texas land with an ag valuation.
3. Access. Hunting land is often back off the road, reached through a neighbor's gate. Buyers will ask whether the access is recorded. If it is not, see our page on selling land with no road access.
Fall and winter are when many buyers walk recreational land, with the brush down. Texas Parks and Wildlife lists the 2026-27 white-tailed deer general season from November 7, 2026. If a lease is running for the season, a buyer may want to close after it ends, or take the land with the lease in place. Our checklist for buying hunting land shows what careful buyers look at.

Yes. Tell the buyer, give them a copy of the lease and its end date, and check what the lease says about a sale. Some buyers want the lease to end at closing; others are glad to take it over. A Texas attorney can tell you what your lease allows.
A sale by itself does not change how the land is used. The Texas Comptroller says rollback tax is due when land with an agricultural appraisal changes to a non-agricultural use, for each of the previous three years. Ask the county appraisal district and a CPA how the buyer's plans could affect it, and who pays.
The valuation follows how the land is used. The new owner may need to file with the appraisal district and keep up a qualifying use. Ask the appraisal district what the buyer must file.
You can still sell it, but fewer buyers will want it and the price is usually lower. See our page on selling Texas land with no road access for your options.
