Pricing
What is a lot in Jacksboro worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Jacksboro sold for a median of $51,200 across 10 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $38,700 to $56,300. [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 Jacksboro
Town limits control building and zoning jurisdiction
Jacksboro is an incorporated town, and its own building and land-use rules apply inside the legal boundary. MTAS lists a town building inspector, while the municipal code says land use is governed by the Jacksboro Zoning Ordinance and keeps that ordinance with the town recorder. LaFollette Utilities Board's new-construction checklist also treats Jacksboro as an exception to the state structural-permit route used elsewhere in Campbell County and directs applicants to the town for a city building permit. This page's figures use the county roll community code, not a town-boundary polygon. Before pricing a lot, a buyer must establish whether the town office or County Clerk controls, then confirm zoning, setbacks and the required permit sequence. [2],[3],[5],[6],[1]
Public water and wastewater need frontage confirmation
A sewer application is not proof that a vacant lot can connect. Jacksboro's code assigns sewer applications and fees to Caryville-Jacksboro Utilities Commission, but says receiving an application does not obligate the commission to make a connection. The code also makes the owner responsible for private-side installation and connection costs. Where public sewer is unavailable, the property must use a private wastewater system that meets state and local rules. A builder therefore needs a parcel-specific answer on the connection point, elevation, easements and private work. Those items can separate two similar half-acre lots on nearby streets. [3],[1]
Septic, flood mapping and grade define usable land
Land outside practical sewer reach may need a TDEC-approved septic system. The state asks for the proposed house, bedrooms, lot size, well or spring locations, driveway and utilities, and may require a licensed soil map or engineer's design. Current fees start at $400 for a conventional permit up to 1,000 gallons per day plus a $100 construction inspection. Flood exposure is a separate check: Jacksboro maintains a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, and FEMA's Map Service Center provides the official map by address or coordinates. On a sloped, low or irregular lot, the house, driveway, drain field, setbacks and mapped flood area all compete for usable space and can materially change an offer. [10],[11],[3],[12]
Utility investment helps the system, not every parcel equally
TDEC announced a $242,500 Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan in December 2024 for the Town of Jacksboro and Caryville-Jacksboro Utilities Commission to improve the wastewater treatment plant. The five-year loan carries 2.38% interest and includes $121,250 in principal forgiveness. That is useful evidence of system investment, but it does not mean a sewer main serves each vacant lot or that private connection work is free. A cash buyer still has to obtain a location-specific utility answer and price any extension, tap, excavation or private wastewater alternative. Parcel value follows the actual connection path and buildable envelope rather than a general announcement about the treatment system. [4],[3]
Recent lot sales provide a narrow starting point
The 2025 roll contains 10 qualifying arm's-length lot sales in the Jacksboro community-code scope, with a median of $51,200 and a middle-half range of $38,700–$56,300. These are lot sales, and the roll has no seller field. The roll also shows a median vacant-lot appraisal of $38,400. With a small sample, no one should treat one median as the automatic value of every tract. Permit jurisdiction, town zoning, public-sewer access, septic feasibility, flood exposure, road grade and title determine the individual offer. [1],[3],[12]
Common situations
Selling land in Jacksboro in these situations
The public sewer is nearby, not on the lot
Yes. You can sell before paying for a sewer connection or line extension. Jacksboro's code says a submitted application does not obligate Caryville-Jacksboro Utilities Commission to make the connection. The owner is responsible for private-side sewer installation and connection costs. If public sewer is unavailable, TDEC reviews a septic option. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [3],[10]
You inherited a parcel with an old town description
Yes. A title company can close an inherited parcel after confirming the heirs' authority and the current legal description. Old deeds and tax mail may use Jacksboro as an address without proving that the parcel sits inside today's town limits. The boundary decides which building and zoning office applies. Campbell County's Register of Deeds records instruments but does not prepare a new deed or clear title. The title company reviews the deed chain, estate documents, liens and tax status, then tells the heirs what must be signed or recorded. We offer electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire. [7],[6],[2],[1]
Taxes are behind and you do not plan to build
Yes. A voluntary sale may still close if the title company can obtain payoffs before the delinquent-tax case ends the owner's rights. County taxes are payable October 1 through February 28. Beginning March 1, the Trustee adds 1.5% per month, and older unpaid accounts are filed with Chancery Court for tax sale. With your consent, valid liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds. Selling also ends the future cost of holding a lot you do not plan to develop. There are no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs. [8],[9]

Questions
Selling land in Jacksboro: common questions
Is Jacksboro a city, town or unincorporated community?
Jacksboro is an incorporated town. MTAS lists a general-law mayor-alderman charter and a January 1, 1967 incorporation date. This page's roll figures use the Jacksboro community code, so the parcel boundary still must be checked before town zoning is applied.
Who issues a building permit for a Jacksboro lot?
The Town of Jacksboro handles building review inside town limits and MTAS lists its building inspector. Outside the incorporated boundary, the Campbell County Clerk handles county permits. Because this page uses an address-based community code, confirm jurisdiction from the parcel map first.
Can I sell a Jacksboro lot without sewer service?
Yes. The town code allows adequate wastewater treatment through a public connection or an appropriate private system where the sewer is unavailable. TDEC must approve a new septic system. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering.
Does a sewer application prove my lot can connect?
No. Jacksboro's code says receiving a sewer application does not obligate Caryville-Jacksboro Utilities Commission to make the connection. A future home also needs the correct zoning, road access, a workable sewer or septic path, room for setbacks, flood compliance and clear title.
Could private restrictions or road dues affect my lot?
Yes. Town zoning does not replace recorded private covenants. A particular subdivision or shared road can impose use limits, maintenance duties or assessments that are not city charges. The title company reviews the deed and recorded instruments, while the town office answers zoning and public-street questions.
Can I sell Jacksboro land from outside Tennessee?
Yes. We offer electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire, with closing through an independent, licensed title company. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering.

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 Campbell County roll whose community code is Jacksboro. 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.
