Pricing
What is a lot in Kingston Springs 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 Kingston Springs
Town sewer or septic decides the budget
Sewer is the biggest cost line for a buyer here. The town's municipal system reaches nearly three quarters of residences and businesses inside town limits, which leaves a quarter without it. Outside that reach, a buyer needs a septic permit from TDEC, since Cheatham County is not a contract county. A conventional permit up to 1,000 gallons a day is $400, with a $100 construction inspection, and TDEC says review generally takes 10 days. A lot that can tie into sewer skips the soil work. A lot that cannot may need a soil test first. [5],[8]
Acreage runs larger than a typical town lot
The vacant residential lots in this tax-roll scope have a median size of 1.24 acres across 162 parcels, so many are one-acre homesites or larger. Bigger lots give a builder room for a septic field and a long driveway. The same roll shows a median appraised value of $131,500, with the middle half between $74,700–$175,000. Appraised value is the assessor's estimate for tax purposes. It is not a sale price and it is not a Parcel Buyers offer. [1]
Floodplain land is off limits inside town
The town restricts all building within the 100-year floodplain, and it says that restriction keeps residents eligible for the National Flood Insurance Program. For a lot on a creek or low ground inside town limits, a mapped flood zone can remove the buildable area. The town points owners to its GIS map to check. Lots outside town limits are not under the town's flood rule, so the same lot line can mean a different answer. [4]
Town rules add cost to new homes
Inside town limits a builder follows the 2018 International Building Code and the town's design guidelines, and every new home needs a sprinkler system. The planning commission meets on the second Thursday of the month. Those steps add time and cost compared with unincorporated land, and a builder prices them into what a lot is worth. [3],[4]
Common situations
Selling land in Kingston Springs in these situations
You inherited land and do not live nearby
Yes. You can sell inherited land, and the title company will tell you what paperwork it needs. 5% of vacant-lot owners in this scope have a mailing address outside Tennessee. You can sign electronically, close by mail through an independent title company, and be paid by check or wire. Property tax stays with the parcel until the sale closes. [1]
Town taxes or county taxes are behind
You can still sell with back taxes. Town notices are due February 28 and carry a 1.5% fee for each month late. County taxes go to the Cheatham County Trustee and become delinquent March 1, with interest of 1.5% added that month and each month after. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [6],[9]
The lot may sit partly in a flood zone
A lot that touches a floodplain still has value to a buyer, but the usable part shrinks. Because the town bars building in the 100-year floodplain, a lot with a creek corner may be priced by the dry acreage alone. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [4]

Questions
Selling land in Kingston Springs: common questions
Can I sell my Kingston Springs lot if it has no sewer?
Yes. We buy lots with no water, sewer or road work. The town's sewer reaches nearly three quarters of residences and businesses inside its limits, so many lots rely on septic, which TDEC permits in Cheatham County at $400 for a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day.
Who issues building permits for a lot in Kingston Springs?
The town does, for lots inside its limits. It requires permits for residential construction, driveways and grading, and it uses the 2018 International Building Code. Lots outside town limits are not under the town's permits, so confirm which side of the line a parcel sits on.
Can I build on land in the 100-year floodplain?
Not inside the town. Kingston Springs restricts all building within the 100-year floodplain. The town directs owners to its GIS map to see if a parcel falls inside it. A lot that is only partly mapped may still have a buildable portion.
How much does it cost to hold an empty lot each year?
It depends on the tax bill. Town taxes are due February 28, and county taxes are billed separately by the Cheatham County Trustee. Late payments add 1.5% for each month. Check your latest bills for the exact amounts on your parcel.
Do I need a survey to sell vacant land here?
Not always. The title company on the closing decides what it needs, and a survey mostly matters when boundaries are unclear or a creek runs near the line. We check access and title on every parcel before offering.

Guides for your situation
- How to Sell Land in a Flood Zone
Flood-zone land can be sellable and sometimes buildable. A FEMA flood zone describes mapped risk; it is not a building permit. The buyer must verify the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and any map changes, then ask the local floodplain administrator what elevation, floodway, coastal, permit, and design rules apply.[1][2][4] Vacant land itself is not covered by an NFIP policy; flood insurance covers qualifying buildings and contents, not land value.[5][6]
- 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.
- 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]

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 Cheatham County roll whose community code is Kingston Springs. 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 November 7, 2026.
