Local data
What is land in Crockett County 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.
| Vacant residential lots | 998 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 Tennessee parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | One-acre homesite (40,000–46,000 sq ft): 13% of vacant lots; next, mini-estate (2-3 acres) at 11%. Median lot: 1.00 acre (43,560 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $16,200 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $10,300 and $29,900 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Crockett County [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 5% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often NC, TX, GA) [1] |
| County zoning and building permits | The County Clerk's office is the county contact for building permits. The county also publishes its land-use plan, subdivision regulations, zoning ordinance, zoning map and rezoning application. [2] |
| Water service is not sewer service | County Wide Utility District serves water in several unincorporated areas, but the county says it does not provide sewer there. A future home in those areas may need an approved septic system. [3],[4] |
| County Wide serves about 3,400 customers | County Wide Utility District says it began as a public utility in the late 1960s and now serves about 3,400 customers across its service area. Confirm whether a line can serve the particular parcel. [4] |
| Septic permit before construction | TDEC says a conventional septic permit is required before dirt work or construction. The application identifies the lot, planned home, well, driveway and utilities; soils information may also be required. [5] |
| Splitting land can trigger septic review | For a division into two or more buildable lots that will use septic, TDEC requires a subdivision evaluation with a survey and soils map. Its septic definition excludes divisions in which every tract is at least 5 acres. [5] |
| Property tax payment date | The county says property taxes are typically due by February 28. The Trustee's Office accepts payment, and late payments may carry penalties and interest. [6] |
| Greenbelt can create rollback taxes | Qualified Greenbelt land is valued on present use rather than market value. If agricultural or forest land is disqualified, rollback taxes can recapture the prior 3 years of savings; open-space land can reach 5 years. [8] |
| Ridges, slopes and flood plains | The county land-use plan describes nearly level to moderately sloping upland ridge tops, short to medium moderately steep hillsides, and broad flat flood-plain bottoms along streams. Grade, drainage and flood status can change a build plan. [9] |
| Middle Fork Forked Deer River | The Middle Fork Forked Deer River has a USGS gage near Alamo in Crockett County. Its recorded peaks provide a local high-water record for land along the river. [10] |

How selling land works in Crockett County
Start with the rules that apply to the parcel
Crockett County land is subject to county zoning and permitting rules. The County Clerk's office is the county contact for building permits, and the county publishes its zoning ordinance, zoning map, subdivision regulations and rezoning application. Start with the parcel number, legal description and intended use, then compare the tract to the zoning map and recorded access. The county land-use plan describes upland ridges ranging from nearly level to moderately sloped, shorter steeper hillsides and broad stream flood plains. Acreage alone therefore does not show whether a homesite, driveway or drainage plan will work. The current parcel record identifies 998 vacant residential lots countywide; the most common size group is one-acre homesites. Site layout, access, grade and drainage can make similar-size tracts worth different amounts. [2],[9],[1]
Water and septic are separate checks
Water availability and wastewater approval are separate questions. County Wide Utility District says it serves about 3,400 customers and, per the county, provides water in several unincorporated areas. That does not confirm a line, meter capacity or connection for one tract. The county also says it does not provide sewer in unincorporated areas, so a future home may need septic. TDEC requires a conventional septic permit before dirt work or construction; its application asks for the lot location and a rough layout of the house, well, driveway and utilities. A proposed division into two or more lots using septic requires a TDEC subdivision evaluation, survey and soils map. TDEC excludes divisions where every tract is at least 5 acres from that septic definition, but county zoning and subdivision rules can still apply. These checks affect a builder's budget and a direct offer. [3],[4],[5]
Taxes, Greenbelt and property records
Property taxes are typically due by February 28 through the Crockett County Trustee's Office; late payments may bring penalties and interest. For ownership questions, the county directs owners to its Property Assessor and Register of Deeds. Those offices can help confirm the current owner, legal description or recorded documents before a sale. Greenbelt needs separate attention on larger tracts. Tennessee values qualifying agricultural, forest and open-space land on present use rather than market value. Disqualifying agricultural or forest land can bring rollback taxes based on the prior 3 years; open-space land can reach 5 years. The assessor calculates the amount. The current roll's median vacant residential appraisal is $16,200, with the middle half at $10,300–$29,900. That is an assessment figure, not a cash offer. [6],[7],[8],[1]

Questions
Selling land in Crockett County: common questions
Who handles taxes and property records in Crockett County?
The Trustee's Office handles property-tax payments, which the county says are typically due by February 28. For property ownership questions, the county directs owners to its Property Assessor and Register of Deeds. Bring the parcel number or legal description when you ask about a specific tract.
Can I sell vacant land with no county sewer?
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant land with no sewer service. The county says it does not provide sewer in unincorporated areas, so septic may be needed for a future home. TDEC requires a septic permit before dirt work or construction, which is one reason utilities and soil conditions affect an offer.
Can I split my tract into two homesites?
It depends. If two or more proposed lots will use septic for current or future construction, TDEC requires a subdivision evaluation, survey and soils map. TDEC excludes divisions where every tract is at least 5 acres from that septic definition, but county zoning and subdivision rules still need review before a split is priced or marketed.
What happens if my tract has Greenbelt status?
Greenbelt can lower the tax assessment while qualifying land stays in agricultural, forest or open-space use. If that status ends, the assessor calculates rollback taxes. Agricultural and forest land can include the prior 3 years of savings; open-space land can include 5 years. Check the classification before signing a development contract.
Do slopes or low ground change a land offer?
Yes. The county land-use plan describes upland ridges, moderately steep hillsides and broad stream flood plains. A buyer may need to budget differently for a driveway, drainage work, a septic layout or flood compliance depending on where the usable homesite sits. We review access and site facts before offering.

Guides for your situation
- 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.
- 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.
- Selling Land With Boundary or Survey Problems
Land with a boundary or survey problem can still be offered for sale, but closing may depend on how the buyer, lender, and title insurer handle it. The contract and closing requirements determine whether a survey is needed. A fence does not by itself establish the record boundary. A survey can identify gaps, overlaps, occupation lines, and encroachments; a competing Florida title claim may require a quiet-title action.[1][6][7]

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 all parcels in Crockett County. 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 8, 2026.
