Ohio Land Value Calculator: What’s My Land Worth Per Acre?
If you own land in Ohio, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: “What’s my land worth per acre?” The answer depends on location, parcel size, and whether the land is buildable. That’s why we created this free Ohio land value calculator — to give you a quick, county-based estimate you can trust as a starting point.
How the Calculator Works
- Pick your county – the calculator will auto-load an average price per acre for that county.
- Enter your parcel size in acres.
- Adjust for property factors like road access, terrain, utilities, zoning, and flood risk.
The tool combines these inputs and gives you both a total land value and a per-acre estimate range.
Why County Averages Matter
Land in Franklin or Delaware County can sell for more than double what you’ll find in Vinton or Meigs. Metro proximity, schools, and infrastructure all drive demand. By starting with county-specific averages, your estimate is much closer to reality than using a single statewide number.
What Else Impacts Land Value?
- Road Access – Public road frontage adds value compared to landlocked parcels.
- Utilities – Access to electric, water, and sewer connections boosts per-acre worth.
- Buildability – Zoning that allows homes “by right” makes land more valuable.
- Terrain & Floodplain – Flat, dry land is more desirable than steep or flood-prone tracts.
- Septic Suitability – Land that passes a soil test (perc test) usually commands a premium.
Using Your Estimate
This calculator is an educational guide, not a formal appraisal. Once you have your estimate:
- Check recent sales through your County Auditor’s website.
- Review zoning rules and restrictions in your township.
- Confirm flood maps and soil test results before buying or selling.
