Pricing

What is a lot in LaFollette worth?

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 LaFollette

City boundary decides the state and local permit path

A LaFollette mailing or community code does not settle permit jurisdiction. This page's figures cover parcels on the Campbell County roll whose community code is LaFollette, while the incorporated city is a legal boundary. Tennessee lists residential construction inside LaFollette under the state building-permit program. The city Codes Department links to local zoning, subdivision and codes forms. Outside incorporated limits, the Campbell County Clerk issues the county building permit and requires the TDEC septic permit first. That distinction affects the permit sequence and which rules a builder must price. The parcel has to be matched to the boundary before city utility or zoning information is treated as controlling. [2],[4],[3],[7],[1]

A nearby utility line is not a paid connection

Public service can reduce a builder's wastewater and well costs, but connection details matter. LaFollette Utilities Board publishes a $950 fee for a 3/4-inch water tap and $825 for a 6-inch sewer tap. It also lists a $35 water connection charge. New construction applicants must show a building permit, an E-911 address and either a septic permit or proof of public sewer. Those published amounts do not include every trench, extension, meter or site cost, and they do not prove a main reaches the lot. A parcel with confirmed sewer at the frontage can therefore be worth more to a builder than a similar parcel requiring an extension or a private septic design. [6]

Soil, slope and flood mapping shape the usable homesite

The usable building area matters more than the total deeded acreage. For septic, TDEC asks for the proposed house, bedrooms, well or spring locations, driveway and utilities. Its scientist may request a licensed soil map or engineered system, and the state tells owners to mark property lines and the building pad before the visit. FEMA's Map Service Center is the official source for an address-level flood map. On a small or sloped tract, the home, driveway, setbacks and drain field must fit together without relying on a flood-prone or inaccessible corner. That is why two standard city lots with the same community code can receive different cash offers after inspection. [11],[12],[13],[1]

Sparse 2025 lot evidence calls for parcel-level pricing

There were too few qualifying 2025 lot sales in this tax-roll scope to publish a reliable sale-price median. That does not mean the land has no value. It means a buyer should avoid presenting a thin sample as a market trend. The roll still gives useful context: the median vacant lot is 0.29 acre, the most common size group is standard city lots, and the median appraised value is $16,900. The specific parcel's road access, city boundary, utility frontage, topography, flood map and title still have to be checked. [1],[3],[6],[13]

Common situations

Selling land in LaFollette in these situations

You inherited a small city or address-area lot

Yes. You can sell an inherited lot even when you have never visited it or do not know whether it lies inside the city. The title company first confirms the owner of record and tells the heirs which estate, death or identity documents are needed. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. That review separates a city parcel served by municipal rules from an outlying tract that merely uses the same community code. We offer electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire, with closing through an independent, licensed title company. [9],[7],[1]

The lot has no confirmed sewer connection

Yes. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. LUB requires proof of public sewer or a septic permit for new construction service, so a line shown nearby is not enough. If public sewer is unavailable, TDEC reviews the proposed wastewater system. A conventional permit currently starts at $400 for up to 1,000 gallons per day, with a $100 construction inspection; alternative systems start higher. The soil and site review can change the usable home area or reveal that a more costly design is needed. [6],[11]

City or county property taxes are behind

Yes. A delinquent tax bill does not automatically prevent a voluntary sale. The City Clerk says city tax is payable October 1 and delinquent March 1. The County Trustee uses an October-through-February payment period and adds 1.5% each month after the county deadline. Closing runs through an independent, licensed title company. With the seller's consent, liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Acting before a completed tax sale leaves more room to clear title and avoid additional interest, legal fees and publication costs. [5],[8],[10]

Questions

Selling land in LaFollette: common questions

Is LaFollette a city or an unincorporated community?

LaFollette is an incorporated city. MTAS traces its incorporation to February 1, 1897. This page's data, however, follows the Campbell County roll's LaFollette community code, so some address-area parcels may fall outside the legal city boundary and use county permitting instead.

Who issues a building permit for land with a LaFollette address?

Tennessee requires a state residential building permit inside LaFollette, while the city handles its local zoning and codes. The Campbell County Clerk handles county permits outside incorporated limits and requires the septic permit first. A mailing address alone does not establish which path applies.

Can I sell a LaFollette lot without water or sewer?

Yes. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. LUB asks a new-construction customer for proof of public sewer or a septic permit. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering.

Why is there no 2025 sale-price median on this page?

The qualifying 2025 lot-sales sample is too small for a reliable median. The page therefore withholds sale-price tokens instead of turning a few deeds into a price trend. Parcel size, utility status, permit jurisdiction, flood exposure, road access and title still provide a defensible basis for an individual cash review.

What should I check before paying for a soil test?

Confirm whether public sewer is available first. If septic is needed, TDEC asks owners to mark the property lines and desired house location and to mow or bush-hog the site before the visit. Its environmental scientist may request a detailed site plan or a soils map from a licensed soil consultant.

Can I close a LaFollette land sale from another state?

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 LaFollette. 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.
