Pricing
What is a lot in Maryville worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Maryville sold for a median of $110,000 across 19 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $58,500 to $195,000. [1]
These are open-market sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.
What moves the price in Maryville
City limits decide which permit and zoning rules apply
The tax-roll figures on this page cover parcels on the Blount County roll whose community code is Maryville. That code is not, by itself, proof that every parcel is inside the municipal boundary. For land inside the city, Maryville Planning reviews zoning and subdivision questions, and Maryville Codes handles building permits, plan review and inspections. Land outside the city follows the proper county jurisdiction instead. This boundary check matters because the permit office, zoning district, utility rules and tax bill can change across it. The boundary has to be confirmed before a city standard is treated as a parcel fact. [2],[3],[4]
A buildable infill lot needs more than enough square feet
Lot dimensions, setbacks, drainage and access all affect the usable building area. The city requires a residential site plan to show the proposed work, existing structures, distances from lot lines, driveway approaches, drainage culverts and erosion controls. Retaining walls supporting more than 48 inches of backfill need a Tennessee structural engineer's design; a shorter wall also needs that design when it supports a building or accessory structure. Those details can shrink the practical house pad on an irregular, narrow or sloping lot even when the parcel has legal road frontage. [5],[4]
Water, sewer and septic are separate parcel questions
Maryville operates public water and sewer, but an address label does not prove that a main is available at a particular lot or that a connection has already been installed. The city's engineering office publishes water and sewer plan requirements, details, rates and fees. Effective January 1, 2026, the inside-city water minimum is $15.05 for the first 500 gallons or less; inside-city residential sewer carries a $25.82 customer charge plus $4.87 per 1,000 gallons. If a parcel cannot use public sewer, Blount County Environmental Health regulates the septic system under TDEC rules. Availability and connection work can materially change a builder's budget. [6],[7],[10]
Recorded lot sales are a starting point, not a promise
The qualifying 2025 roll set contains 19 Maryville-coded lot sales, with a median recorded amount of $110,000 and a middle range of $58,500–$195,000. The page covers 795 vacant residential parcels, and the median lot is 0.37 acre. Those roll figures do not tell whether a parcel lies inside city limits, has a usable utility connection, meets setbacks or has a floodplain issue. The city's ordinance adds a specific warning for unmapped streams: structures and fill generally must stay 60 feet from the top of bank unless an engineer demonstrates the required flood result. A cash offer therefore follows parcel review, not a median alone. [8],[5]
Common situations
Selling land in Maryville in these situations
You own a small lot between existing homes
Yes. A small infill lot can be sold even when you are unsure what fits on it. The roll's largest size group is micro lot, but it accounts for only 13% of vacant lots, so the inventory includes many shapes and sizes. City permit review looks beyond acreage: the site plan must show new and existing structures, distances from lot lines, driveway approaches and drainage. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [5]
The parcel may sit near a creek or drainage path
Yes. You can sell land near a creek or drainage path, but the usable area needs careful review. Maryville's floodplain ordinance addresses both mapped flood zones and unmapped streams. Along an unmapped stream, it generally keeps encroachments, fill and structures 60 feet from the top of bank unless a registered engineer supplies the required certification. A development disturbing one acre or more, or a smaller piece of a larger common plan, also needs a stormwater management plan when it discharges to the city system. [8],[9]
You live outside Tennessee and inherited the land
Yes. You can sell inherited land without traveling to Tennessee. 5% of the owners in this Maryville-coded vacant-lot group receive tax-roll mail outside the state. We offer electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire, with closing through an independent, licensed title company. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent.

Questions
Selling land in Maryville: common questions
Who issues a building permit for my Maryville lot?
Maryville Codes does if the parcel is inside city limits. The department handles plan review, permit issuance, inspections and code enforcement. A Maryville community code on the county roll is not enough to establish municipal jurisdiction, so the boundary must be confirmed first.
Can I sell a Maryville lot without a sewer connection?
Yes. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. Public utility availability still affects the offer because a future builder must confirm the nearest usable main and connection requirements. Where public sewer is unavailable, Blount County Environmental Health regulates septic systems under TDEC rules.
Do all Maryville lots have association dues?
No single dues figure applies to every parcel in this roll group. Association duties and private restrictions depend on the specific subdivision and recorded documents. The Blount County Register of Deeds says restrictions are often referenced in the deed, its office does not perform title searches, and a title agency can assist.
What does the city need on a residential site plan?
It needs the lot layout, proposed and existing structures, distances from lot lines, driveway approaches, drainage culverts and erosion controls. Construction drawings may also need foundation, framing, floor-plan and retaining-wall details. These requirements help show whether the planned home fits the site.
How fast can I close on a vacant lot?
You get a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. Closing runs through an independent, licensed title company, typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title. There are no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?
Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- How Cash Land Buyers Price Offers
A cash-land offer may start with verified sales of land with similar use, then adjust those sales for meaningful differences.[1] Buyers may also account for access, utilities, legal use, size, shape, flood and soil questions, title issues, demand, and costs and risk they will carry. No universal assessed-value percentage applies. Compare each written offer by expected net proceeds, contingencies, seller work, and timing—not one asking price or headline number.

How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover parcels on the Blount County roll whose community code is Maryville. Source [1] is our own count of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's county parcel and assessment files (assessment data dated August 28, 2026): a vacant lot is a residential parcel with no buildings, mobile home or improvement value; values are the county assessor's appraised (market) value; sale prices count only 2025 warranty-deed sales of a single lot that was vacant when it sold, at $1,000 or more, with bulk deeds and development-land deals removed. Treat medians as a guide to recent recorded amounts, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 2, 2026.
