The Full Timber Ecosystem
Timber Buyers
Timber buyers assess your land and purchase standing timber. They work for logging companies and mills, so having a forestry consultant in your corner first can help you get the best price.
Find Timber Buyers (82)Forestry Consultants
A forestry consultant (forester) works for YOU — not the buyer. They walk your land, estimate timber value, and negotiate on your behalf to maximize what you receive.
Find Foresters (154)Independent Loggers
Independent loggers are ideal for smaller parcels (1–10 acres) that larger operations pass on. They handle harvesting directly and often work with local mills.
Find Loggers (19)Mills
Sawmills and pulp mills purchase harvested timber. Some mills have in-house timber buying divisions, letting landowners sell direct — cutting out the middleman.

The order matters more than the price. Here is the whole sequence, from finding your lines to cashing the check and paying the tax, with nothing skipped.

Harvesting is what the forestry present-use value program is built around. What ends the deferral is losing eligibility, and your county assessor decides.
Do I Have to Pay Taxes When I Sell Timber?
Yes, timber money is taxable. It is usually a long-term capital gain rather than ordinary income, and basis comes off before tax is owed on the rest.
How Many Acres of Timber Is Worth Selling?
There is no minimum acreage in North Carolina. What decides whether a crew will come is how much wood is standing and how cheaply it gets to a mill.
