For Landowners
Name your price.
Set your rate.
Get paid on both.
Your land becomes a thriving, sustainable town. You decide what it's worth — a sale price per acre, and an annuity per square foot, both set by you in the app.
You set the sale price
Not an appraiser, not a lowball offer. Your number, submitted directly.
You set the annuity rate too
A per-square-foot rate, on top of the sale, paid monthly on the acreage you deeded — your land, your rate.
You're on your county's team
Your county's raise allocation funds the purchase. Sharp numbers make your county's whole bid stronger — you're not just selling, you're helping them win.
Built for real landowners, not investors
Eligible sellers are named individuals who've actually owned and worked the land — not corporations or funds looking to buy in right before a raise.
Still a farmer, if you want to be
Keep working the land around the town, held permanently in the same trust that protects the town itself.
Paid at Labor Day, then every month after
One county is announced each Labor Day and builds that whole year. If it is yours, the sale closes then. The annuity starts after construction, when stewards move in, and keeps paying.
Verify. Set your numbers. Sign. Get paid twice.
Your county may come to you — they know which land they want, and they'll reach out. Or submit through the app on your own terms, any time. Either way, it's the same process:
- Verify ownership
- Set your two numbers — a sale price per acre, and an annuity rate per square foot
- Sign the standard LOI, right alongside your county
Both come out of the county's raise allocation once they win, and both feed directly into your county's competitive score, so this works best as a partnership. Win the year together, and the sale pays out at Labor Day.
The annuity is paid on the land you actually deeded, at the rate you set:
It depends on nothing but your own acreage and your own number — not on how big the town turns out to be, and not on what any other landowner deeded or asked for. A town sits on 640 acres, and you can deed anywhere from 40 up to all 640 toward a single raise. It pays out every month, starting after construction, when stewards move in.
Site requirements
Your county is assembling LOIs across a contiguous area — 16 square miles minimum, up to 64 at full scale. Sixteen is exactly one Bunch: nine square miles of towns, city and park, plus its share of the Commons ring around them. That is what a county wins in a year, because the twelve monthly raises of $5B each are one Bunch, up to $60B of construction. Every mile past sixteen ranks your county higher, and the land keeps counting in later years — 64 square miles is four Bunches, the most any county can win.
Eligibility
You must be a single named individual — not a corporation, LLC, or trust — and must have owned the parcel for at least 12 months before submitting. This keeps the program for real landowners, not speculators buying in once a raise is announced.
Your land is one piece of up to $60B.
Twelve raises build out a full Bunch. Every landowner who signs on adds to the total — your signature is what makes your county's bid whole.
Every child gets a 529 account.
$100M per raise in custodial education accounts — $1.2B across a full twelve-raise year — divided equally across every child in county public schools, announced on Labor Day before a stone is cut.

Keep farming
Grow for your neighbors. Bid for the right, same as everyone else here.
If you're a working farmer, selling your town parcel doesn't mean leaving the land behind. The Commons — the one-mile-wide ring surrounding every Bouquet — stays in production — sixteen square miles of working farmland per Bouquet, broken into 20-acre parcels, and you can bid a rent rate per acre to work one, same as anyone else who wants in.
What you grow is your call. The only rule: it goes directly into URBAL's own towns and cities — real food for real neighbors, not an anonymous crop headed for a distant market. And like every other business here, you keep your spot by earning it, year over year, held to the same standard the whole town holds itself to.
The land stays protected the same way everything else here does — held permanently in trust, never sold, never bought up by an outside investor looking to consolidate it.

Not a warehouse. Not a subdivision.
CNC-machined limestone, with precision-fit tongue-and-groove joints. A structural design life of 500 years isn't a marketing claim — it's what mass stone construction has proven for centuries, needing minimal maintenance, and re-cut in place by the same automated robotic milling that shaped it. A town of roughly 25,000 will live on your land. The town is car-free, stone, and built to last.
