Timber prices for Baldwin County

No county publishes its own timber prices. These are Alabama's published stumpage prices, what landowners are paid for standing timber, and the best public guide to what timber in Baldwin County is bringing. Your own timber can sell above or below them. Alabama publishes no free, maintained timber price series of its own, and Timber Mart-South's Alabama report is paid, so there is no Alabama-only figure to quote. The range above is not an Alabama number: it is the range a regional report gave for Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama together in Q4 2025, and only for pine sawtimber. Treat it as a rough regional marker, not as your county's price.

Compass Land and Timber, LLC is a land and timber business in Fairhope, Alabama. Most of its pages are about buying and selling land, but it calls itself "a full service forest management company" and runs its own logging crews. Its listed services include timber sales, timber appraisal, timber stand improvement and logging. The county it names is Baldwin. The crews do thinning, clear-cuts and swamp logging. The business names pine plantations, natural pine sawtimber, hardwoods and longleaf pines as the species it works with. It also says it can help manage land after it is bought. Jason Moore started the company in 2005, the year he moved to Baldwin County. His page says he holds a forestry degree from Auburn University and has more than two decades in land and timber. The smallest job it shows is a 40 acre tract in Washington County, AL, which has sold. That figure comes from that one job, not from a stated minimum. Its land sales cover large tracts in Alabama and surrounding states. It suits a landowner with a larger tract who needs thinning, clear-cutting or swamp logging, or someone buying land who wants help managing it afterward.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Baldwin County?

9 businesses are listed for Baldwin County: 3 consulting foresters and 6 buyers, loggers and mills. 5 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Baldwin County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Baldwin County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

Do I need a permit to cut timber in Alabama?

Alabama requires no state permit to harvest timber on your own land, but it does require a NOTICE, and the notice is state law rather than a county's own idea. Before timber is hauled out over county roads, the timber owner tells the county commission's regular office: four business days ahead where the harvest needs a new access point onto the road, two where it uses one that already exists. In exchange the statute closes the door on anything further — a county may not demand a second notice, a permit or licence, or a bond or other security as the price of using its roads. Separately, Alabama's forestry Best Management Practices are not a permit programme, but they are not merely advisory either: the Department of Environmental Management inspects forestry operations and will require BMPs where voluntary use falls short, because the water-quality law behind them is enforceable.

What is timber worth in Baldwin County?

No price series is published for Baldwin County on its own. Alabama's latest published stumpage figures (Southern Ag Today (from Timber Mart-South), Q4 2025) put pine sawtimber at $17–$21 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.

Forester listings for Baldwin County come from the Alabama Forestry Commission service provider directory, revised 21-Sep-26. The register is updated quarterly.
