Local data
Antioch land at a glance
Tax-roll figures cover parcels on the Metro Nashville and Davidson County roll whose property-address city is Antioch in Davidson County. Local rules and services are sourced below.
| Vacant residential lots | 284 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 Tennessee parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Sliver / remnant (0–2,000 sq ft): 17% of vacant lots; next, quarter-acre lot at 11%. Median lot: 0.26 acre (11,330 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $80,000 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $37,100 and $119,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Antioch [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 6% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often CA, TX, GA) [1] |
| Not a separate city | Antioch is a neighborhood of Nashville that never formed as an incorporated city; it is served by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. [2],[4] |
| Who issues building permits | Metro's Department of Codes and Building Safety is the hub of the building permit process, and a permit can bring in other Metro departments such as Stormwater and Health. [4] |
| Community plan | The Antioch/Priest Lake Community Plan is part of the NashvilleNext long-range plan. Metro Planning lists several overlays and specific plans for the area, including a Murfreesboro Pike overlay adopted July 25, 2013. [3] |
| Bakertown limits | The Bakertown/Antioch Pike Specific Plan, approved November 18, 2008, limits traffic and controls industrial development in the Bakertown community. [3] |
| Floodplain rule | A home in a Metro floodplain must have its lowest finished floor four feet above the 1-percent-annual-chance flood elevation, and fill must be offset by an equal volume of cut. Building in the floodway is prohibited with few exceptions. [5] |
| Grading permit | Metro Water Services exempts some small grading jobs only when the work disturbs no more than 10,000 square feet and is not in a designated floodplain. Larger or floodplain work needs a grading permit. [6] |
| Water and sewer | Metro Water Services lists Davidson County as its water service area. It delivers about 109 million gallons of water a day through more than 3,000 miles of main and has over 3,200 miles of sewer pipe. [7] |
| Septic review | Metro Public Health handles septic work in Davidson County, including soils interpretation, system design and percolation-test monitoring. [8] |
| Percy Priest Lake | The Army Corps of Engineers describes J. Percy Priest Lake as about 14,000 acres of water and 19,000 acres of land within 10 miles of downtown Nashville. Metro's planning area is named for it, and the lake was built partly to reduce flooding. [9],[3] |
Pricing
What is a lot in Antioch 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 Antioch
Metro's permit path decides what an infill lot can hold
Antioch has no separate city hall, so every building plan goes through Metro Codes and Building Safety. The permit page says other departments may also review a plan, and Stormwater and Health are among them. Zoning that allows a house does not end the review. A buyer of an infill lot prices in the time and cost of that process. The community plan adds a second layer: Metro Planning lists overlays and specific plans for parts of the area, so check whether one touches the lot. [4],[3]
Floodplain and creek buffers can shrink the buildable area
Metro's stormwater rules are written for lots with creeks and low ground. A house in the floodplain must sit with its lowest floor four feet above the 1-percent-annual-chance flood elevation. Fill placed in the floodplain must be matched by cut, and the floodway is closed to development with few exceptions. Sites that need a grading permit must also keep water-quality buffers along streams, lakes and wetlands. A lot with a mapped creek corner may have far less usable ground than its size suggests. [5],[6]
Lot size and shape on the tax roll
The Davidson County roll lists 284 vacant residential parcels with an Antioch address. The median is about 0.26 acres, or 11,330 square feet. Tiny remnant strips and large acreage tracts sit in the same list, so the median hides a wide spread. Tract size says little about frontage or shape, and a thin sliver can be worth very little to anyone but the neighbor. Larger parcels get weighed against slopes, creek frontage and road access. [1]
Sewer connection versus a septic permit
Metro Water Services runs one large water and sewer system across Davidson County, but its published service area does not say whether a particular lot has a sewer line at the curb. If a lot has none, Metro Public Health handles soils interpretation, on-site system design and percolation-test monitoring. A lot with no sewer and poor soil costs more to build on, and buyers account for that. We check utilities, access and title before making an offer. [7],[8]
Common situations
Selling land in Antioch in these situations
You inherited a lot and the taxes are unpaid
Yes, you can sell it. In Davidson County, property tax is due the first Monday of October and must be paid in full by the last day of February, and 1.5 percent interest is added on the first day of each month starting March 1. Delinquent parcels can go to a Chancery Court tax sale, and the owner has a one-year right to redeem after it. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [10],[11]
The lot sits in a flood-prone spot
A lot near a creek can still be sold. The floodplain rules limit how a buyer builds there, not whether an owner can sell. Metro requires the lowest floor of a house four feet above the flood elevation and bars building in the floodway with few exceptions. Our land inspection looks at that kind of limit. A failed inspection costs the seller nothing, and the only contingency is that inspection. [5]
You own a lot but live far from Tennessee
You can sell without visiting. 6% of owners on this vacant-lot roll use a mailing address outside Tennessee. Documents can be signed electronically, and the title company can arrange a mail-away closing, with payment by check or wire. The Register of Deeds records the deed in Davidson County, so the local steps happen without you being there. [1],[12]

Questions
Selling land in Antioch: common questions
Is Antioch a city with its own building department?
No. Antioch is a neighborhood of Nashville, not an incorporated city. Metro's Department of Codes and Building Safety issues building permits for it, and other Metro departments may review the plan too.
Can I build on an Antioch lot that is in a floodplain?
Sometimes. Metro requires a residence in the floodplain to have its lowest floor four feet above the 1-percent-annual-chance flood elevation and offsets any fill with cut. Building in the floodway is prohibited with few exceptions. Ask Metro Water Services about the specific lot.
Do I need a grading permit to clear my lot?
It depends on how much ground you disturb. Metro Water Services exempts some jobs that disturb no more than 10,000 square feet, but not work in a designated floodplain. Bigger jobs need a grading permit and water-quality buffers.
When are property taxes due on an Antioch lot?
Taxes are due the first Monday of October and must be paid in full by the last day of February. Starting March 1, interest of 1.5 percent is added on the first of each month. Metro mails statements the first week of October.
What happens if I let the taxes on a lot go delinquent?
The Metro Trustee collects delinquent taxes first, and unpaid parcels can be sold at a Chancery Court auction. The buyer takes the lot subject to a one-year right of the former owner to redeem it. You can still sell before then.

Guides for your situation
- 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 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 Metro Nashville and Davidson County roll whose property-address city is Antioch. 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.
