Timber prices for Marengo 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 Marengo 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.

Before you take the first offer
A timber buyer's job is to buy your timber as cheaply as they can. A consulting forester works for you — they measure what's standing, tell you what it's worth, and run a competitive sale, usually for a percentage of the price. That makes their interests line up with yours. 6 of the 8 foresters covering Marengo County offer the full set — appraisal, cruise, and running the sale itself. How to decide whether you need one

Sumter Timber Company LLC is a timber buying, logging and forestry business in Demopolis, Alabama. It has operated since 1984 and serves West Alabama and East Mississippi. Buying timber is its main trade, with logging, site preparation, tree planting and forest management alongside it. The buying side has foresters with years of experience selling wood to pulp and paper mills, pine lumber and plywood mills, pine pole facilities and hardwood lumber mills. They buy pine plantations, natural pine and hardwood stands, and cedar. Logging covers first thinning in pine plantations, understory removal, harvesting in mature stands and salvage cuts. The crew foremen have completed Professional Logging Manager training, and the company ensures a "job well done" with the latest equipment. It runs its own trucks, trailers and chip vans, which can haul most types of forest products. For the land itself, registered foresters and forest technicians write management plans that include timber marking, cruising, GPS and GIS mapping and plantation thinning. Planting crews work by machine or by hand, putting in genetically improved loblolly pines, containerized longleaf pines, cherrybark and water oaks, and sawtooth oaks. Site preparation is mechanical, done in one to three passes of shearing, raking, ripping and bedding on contours.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Marengo County?
18 businesses are listed for Marengo County: 8 consulting foresters and 10 buyers, loggers and mills. 16 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Marengo 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Marengo 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 forestry consultant? →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.
Permit rules in Alabama →What is timber worth in Marengo County?
No price series is published for Marengo 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.
