land cost

The asking or paid price of a property's land at a given time, apart from the value of structures on it.

The land cost for any property is the cost asked for or paid for the land belonging to it at a given time. This is normally determined when the land is undeveloped, or when an existing structure on the land is worth nothing, but it can theoretically be determined for a developed parcel of land as well, as if the land were sold without conferring ownership of the structure(s) on it.

The price concerns the land itself. A developed parcel can still have a land value considered separately from its buildings.

An assessed value is a government valuation, while land cost is an asking or paid amount. The full price of an improved property can include more than the land component.
