How selling land works in Davidson County
What the county land records can tell you
The Assessor of Property sets land and building values through reappraisal, while the Register of Deeds holds the deed, recorded plat, liens and other real-property documents. Those offices answer different questions. The county roll used for this page lists 7,224 vacant residential parcels, with a median appraised value of $100,000. That appraisal is not a sale price or a cash offer. An owner can use the appraisal record and recorded documents together before evaluating access, title and price. [1],[2],[5]
Buildability depends on zoning, utilities and water flow
A vacant parcel needs more than a street address. Metro Codes starts with the parcel's zoning and coordinates other approvals that may include Water, Stormwater, Health, Planning and transportation. Metro Water Services publishes county-level service areas, not a connection finding for each vacant parcel, so service still needs a parcel check. Where an on-site system is needed, Metro Public Health handles soils work and septic review. River and creek drainage also matters because the county lies entirely in the Cumberland basin. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [6],[9],[7],[10]
Property taxes turn delinquent after February
The Metropolitan Trustee sends real-property tax statements in early October and collects current taxes through the last day of February. Beginning March 1, delinquent tax accrues 1.5% interest each month. The Trustee collects delinquent taxes from March through the following February; after that, the Clerk and Master's office collects them. The Chancery Court Clerk and Master also conducts delinquent-property-tax sales. The owner may pay the amount owed any time before the sale, and the lawsuit is then dismissed. A voluntary sale can also settle the debt: liens or back taxes may be paid from sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent. [3],[4],[11]
How a Davidson County cash sale works
Start with the parcel number, current deed and any tax or lien information you have. Parcel Buyers reviews the parcel's utilities, access and title, then sends a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. There are no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs. After a purchase agreement is signed, an independent, licensed title company examines ownership and recorded claims. Closing is typically about 10 days, depending on title, and remote owners may sign electronically or use a mail-away closing and receive payment by check or wire. [5],[6]

Questions
Selling land in Davidson County: common questions
Which Davidson County office shows who owns a vacant lot?
Use the Register of Deeds for the recorded deed and other ownership documents. The Assessor handles appraisal and assessment, while the Register keeps deeds, plats, liens, releases and other recorded real-property instruments.
Who issues building permits for land in Davidson County?
Metro Codes is the building-permit hub. Its zoning examiner identifies the approvals a project needs, which may include Metro Water Services, Stormwater, Health, Planning and transportation agencies.
Who approves a septic system in Davidson County?
Metro Public Health handles local septic and sewage-disposal work in Davidson County. TDEC lists Davidson as a local program, so owners should use the Metro process instead of the state's general online septic application.
What happens when Davidson County land taxes are late?
Taxes unpaid after the last day of February become delinquent. Interest begins March 1 at 1.5% per month, and older accounts can move into Chancery Court collection and a delinquent-tax sale.
Can I sell Davidson County land from another state?
Yes. You can sign electronically or complete a mail-away closing through an independent title company. The title company verifies the deed and claims, and payment can be made by check or wire after closing.

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.
- 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 all parcels in Davidson 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.
