FAQ
1. How much does a survey normally cost?
$.50+/- per linear foot
2. What is stumpage that I hear foresters referring to?
Stumpage is the amount of money that the landowner gets paid for their timber. It is the landowners portion only.
3. How much money will a landowner receive for a first thinning on a pine plantation?
Typically, the timber harvest will yield 35 tons/acre+/- at an average stumpage price of $9/ton. This totals $315/acre. The stumpage price for the timber will depend on the demand for pine pulpwood and the area of the state that your timber is located in.
6. How much does a typical water well cost?
The cost of a typical house well should be in the $7,500 to $12,500 range. It depends on the conditions of the drilling and the depth to good water.
4. Is there a pond site on the tract?
Generally, the topographic map will indicate if a tract of land has a potential lake site. It is recommended to hire a lake consultant to check the feasibility of the site. The type of soils and the acreage of watershed are the two most important factors.
The site will also need to be evaluated from a permitting standpoint.
5. How much does it cost to run power to a tract of land?
This question is site specific and it also depends on the power company that services the area. Different power suppliers have different rates, but a minimum to figure on a 1/4 mile line should be $3,500 for an Alabama Power service.
7. Where can I borrow money to buy land?
Consult with your land agent and they will give you the names of several lenders in your region that understand rural land lending. All Tutt Land Company agents have multiple lenders that we can recommend for timber, farm and hunting land loans.
8. What is the basis on the land that I bought?
The basis is the amount of money you paid for the tract and it should be allocated for each aspect of value on your property. For example, if you purchased a land and timber investment tract, then part of your purchase price is for dirt and part of the price is for the timber. They should be kept separate on your books. When you harvest timber, you should not realize a taxable gain on your timber until you harvest more than the original value of the timber.
9. How do I know if I have any mineral rights or how do I know if I am buying mineral rights?
A title company or an attorney that specializes in mineral rights can determine through a specific title search who owns the mineral rights for a tract. Most tracts that are sold today have all or a portion of the mineral rights reserved.
10. How do I know how much timber is on the tract?
We recommend that you consult with a local forester or timber dealer and allow the respective company to represent a timber value for the tract.
