Where we buy in Warrick County
We buy in all ten townships: Boon, Ohio, Hart, Pigeon, Skelton, Campbell, Greer, Owen, Lane and Anderson.
Warrick covers 384.82 square miles, about 246,285 acres. That is roughly 1.65 times the land area of Vanderburgh County with about a third of the people, and roughly half of it is in farms.
The population is concentrated in one corner. Ohio Township held 41,238 of the county's 63,898 residents in the 2020 Census on 44.14 square miles — about 64% of the population on roughly 12% of the land. Everything north and east of that is genuinely rural ground.
Incorporated places — 2020 Census

- Chandler — 3,693
- Newburgh — 3,344

Plus Victoria Woods, which incorporated in April 2023 — Indiana's first new municipality in over 20 years.
Warrick borders Vanderburgh County to the west, Gibson to the northwest, Pike to the north, Dubois to the northeast and Spencer to the east, with Henderson and Daviess counties, Kentucky across the Ohio River.
What land is worth in Warrick County
Purdue University's Indiana Farmland Value Survey (June 2025) reports the region Purdue's survey treats as the Southwest at $14,233 per acre top quality, $10,825 average and $7,488 poor. Those values fell between 2.1% and 11.5% year over year depending on land quality, while Indiana statewide set records. Purdue does not publish its county roster, so we describe it as the region the survey treats as the Southwest rather than claiming a specific county list.

As a statewide yardstick, the USDA NASS Land Values 2025 Summary reported Indiana cropland at $7,000 per acre and Indiana pastureland at $2,300 per acre for 2025. Those are averages for all of Indiana rather than measurements of Warrick ground, and they are built differently from Purdue's quality-tiered survey, so read the two side by side rather than mixing them.
Consolidation, not conversion
The 2022 Census of Agriculture shows something in Warrick that most land pages miss. The county had 335 farms, down 8% since 2017 — but 123,966 acres in farms, up 18%, with average farm size at 370 acres, up 28%. Soybeans covered 52,317 acres and corn 45,187 acres.

Vanderburgh lost farms and farmland — land leaving agriculture. Warrick lost farms but gained farmland acreage. That is consolidation, not conversion: fewer operators working more ground. For a Warrick landowner it means there are active neighbouring operators expanding, which is a different sale picture than ground being pulled out of production. See the Vanderburgh County page for how that side compares.
Why land sits here — and the Newburgh premium
Average time on market across current Warrick County land listings — 72 listings covering about 506 acres, median asking price $169,900, averaging $41,692 per acre. Asking prices from current listings, not closed sales.
Median days on market for a house in Indiana (Indiana Association of REALTORS, March 2026). Land sits roughly 16 times longer.
The spread inside the county is the standout.
Newburgh-area land averages about $131,347 per acre in asking price. Boonville-area land averages about $47,094 per acre. Same county, nearly triple. Riverfront position and school-district proximity drive it.
A higher price does not mean a faster sale, though. Newburgh-area land listings average 474 days on market — about 25 times the statewide house figure. All of these are asking prices on active listings, not closed sales.
Property taxes and assessment
Indiana bills property tax in two installments and bills in arrears. For 2026 in Warrick County, the spring installment is due Monday, May 11, 2026 by 4 p.m. and the fall installment Tuesday, November 10, 2026 by 4 p.m.
Farmland is not assessed at market value in Indiana. The state applies a statewide base rate per acre, $2,120 for 2026 — unchanged from 2025 — adjusted by a soil productivity factor.
County offices
- Assessor — Sarah Redman, Boonville, (812) 897-6125, with a Newburgh branch office at 8211 Bell Oaks Drive, (812) 853-2409. Parcel lookup runs on XSoft Engage — the same platform as Vanderburgh, not Beacon.
- Treasurer — Tabitha Heilman, (812) 897-6166.
- Recorder — Patricia E. Perry, (812) 897-6165. Deed recording is $25, plus the Auditor's $10 transfer fee and $10 sales disclosure filing — about $45 minimum per parcel to record a deed here.
Behind on property taxes?
Warrick's tax sale is administered jointly by the County Auditor and Treasurer and conducted online at zeusauction.com through SRI. The 2025 sale was held on October 9, 2025, and minimum bids included a $30 postage and publication charge.
Warrick posts its notice in late August, so the sale is typically held in early October — but we will not print a date that has not been published. Check the county's tax sale notice for the confirmed date each year.
Redemption rules are statewide and identical to Vanderburgh: one year from the date of sale, 110% of the minimum bid within six months or 115% after that, plus 5% annual interest on the overbid. If a sale brings in more than what is owed, the former owner has three years to claim the surplus.
We buy land with back taxes or liens. In most cases the balance is settled out of the sale proceeds at closing through the title company.
Warrick is the growth county
Population ran 59,840 in 2010, 63,898 in 2020 and an estimated 66,803 in 2025 — up 4.6% since 2020, against Vanderburgh's 1.0% over the same period.
Schools are a primary driver of residential land demand around Newburgh: the Warrick County School Corporation ranks #37 of 291 Indiana districts and #1 in the Evansville area for 2026.
Newburgh itself chose infill over annexation around 2001. The town added 19 people between 2010 and 2020 while surrounding Ohio Township reached 41,238. The growth happened around the town boundary, in unincorporated county land — which is where a lot of the sellable ground is.
Major employers include Alcoa Warrick Operations, The Women's Hospital, Walmart, Encompass Health Deaconess Rehabilitation and Deaconess Clinic II.
The I-69 Ohio River Crossing does not touch Warrick County. It connects Evansville to Henderson, Kentucky. People often assume a regional project reaches the neighbouring county, so it is worth stating plainly.
Zoning here is the Warrick County Area Plan Commission in Boonville, director Molly Barnhill, (812) 897-6190, covering all unincorporated Warrick plus Elberfeld, Lynnville and Tennyson — separate from the Evansville–Vanderburgh APC. Details at warrickcounty.gov/area-plan.
Current and worth knowing: on July 13, 2026 the APC tabled a proposed data center ordinance that would have restricted facilities over 40,000 square feet, and recommended a moratorium through December 2026 pending Commissioners' approval. This is an active proceeding as of writing.
Reclaimed mine land, subsidence and mineral rights
Warrick has a long surface coal mining history, and it still shapes what is under a lot of parcels here. No other land-buying page in this market covers it, so here is the plain version.
The Liberty Mine near Boonville, operated by Alcoa Fuels, closed in 2019 with 86 workers. In 2018 IDNR permitted a 3,516-acre expansion there over objections from the City of Boonville and a citizens group. Boonville could not block the permit, though its ordinance banning blasting within 1,000 feet of utilities was upheld.
Victoria Woods — the town that incorporated in April 2023 — sits in Boon Township on ground altered by surface mining in the 1960s and 70s. Its lakes are former mine pits.
Mine subsidence
Mine subsidence is excluded from standard homeowners policies. Indiana operates a Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund covering up to $500,000 per structure, and Warrick is one of 26 eligible counties. That is relevant to anyone buying or selling ground over old workings. IDNR's Coal Mine Information System maps documented mines statewide, though the published Warrick surface-mine map runs only through December 2011 — absence from the map is not proof of absence underground.
Severed mineral rights, IC 32-23-10: a coal, oil, gas or other mineral interest lapses after 20 years of non-use and reverts to the surface owner unless it is used, taxed, or the holder files a statement of claim with the county recorder, who maintains a dormant mineral interest record. The practical point: if your deed shows severed minerals from decades ago, that interest may already have reverted — worth checking with the Recorder before assuming it clouds a sale.
Anything involving severed minerals or subsidence is worth running past an attorney or title company. This is information, not advice.
What paperwork actually applies
Indiana's residential seller's disclosure statute (IC 32-21-5) reaches residential real estate with no more than four dwelling units. Vacant land has none, so it does not apply. The "vacant land disclosure" forms sold by commercial vendors are voluntary, not statutory.
What does apply is the Sales Disclosure Form, State Form 46021 under IC 6-1.1-5.5. It is a property-tax filing rather than a condition disclosure, it carries a $10 fee, and the Assessor sees it before the Auditor will move the deed.
Filings go to the Warrick County Recorder in Boonville, Patricia E. Perry, (812) 897-6165. Budget about $45 minimum per parcel: $25 recording, $10 Auditor transfer fee, $10 sales disclosure filing.
Inherited land in Warrick County
Indiana repealed its inheritance tax for deaths after December 31, 2012, so an inherited Warrick parcel does not carry a state inheritance tax bill.
The trap people hit is the small estate affidavit. It cannot transfer real estate, whatever the dollar figure. Land moves by a passage of title (devolution) affidavit under IC 29-1-7-15.1 and IC 29-1-7-23, recorded with the Warrick County Recorder, and that instrument has no dollar limit.
A transfer on death deed is void unless it was recorded before the owner died — signing one and leaving it in a drawer accomplishes nothing.
Legal information, not legal advice. Every estate is different; talk to an attorney about yours.
