Can a 1031 exchange land?

Can a 1031 exchange be used to swap land for another piece of land? I understand that 1031 exchanges are typically associated with real estate investments, allowing investors to defer capital gains taxes by exchanging one investment property for another of equal or greater value. However, I'm curious if this tax-deferred strategy can also be applied to land transactions. For instance, if an investor owns a plot of vacant land and wants to acquire another plot of land for development purposes, can they utilize a 1031 exchange to facilitate this transaction and avoid paying taxes on the capital gains from the sale of the original land? Can a 1031 exchange land?

Section 1031 of the tax code is a unique provision tailored for investment and business assets, excluding personal property from its scope.

These requirements ensure that the property has transitioned from personal use to investment or business use, aligning with the spirit of Section 1031.

The primary intention behind this section is to facilitate the exchange of like-kind real estate or business properties for tax-deferred gains.

Personal residences, traditionally, do not qualify for 1031 exchanges due to their nature of personal use.
