Zoning code 6ZZ Metro's zoning data labels the whole city 6ZZ, a satellite-city code. The city keeps its own zoning map for properties inside its limits, so the Metro zoning layer does not show the city's actual district. [3]
Separate city property tax Belle Meade, Ridgetop and Goodlettsville are the only cities in Davidson County with their own city property tax, billed apart from Metro's. Other city taxes are collected by the Metropolitan Trustee. [11]
City sewer system The city's sewer department owns 78 miles of sanitary sewer pipe and five pumping stations. Service starts through White House Utility District, Madison Suburban Utility District or Metro Water Services, depending on the address. [7]

Pricing

What is a lot in Goodlettsville 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 Goodlettsville

Two permit offices on one project

A Goodlettsville lot in Davidson County runs through two governments. The city issues the building permit and does the building and fire inspections. Metro Nashville Codes issues the plumbing, gas and mechanical, and electrical permits and inspects them. The city holds the certificate of occupancy until all Metro finals pass. The city also lists the 2024 International Codes, approved March 19, 2026, so a buyer plans to current code. That extra coordination is a cost a builder weighs before paying for a lot. [4],[5]

Sewer access depends on the address

The city's sewer system covers 78 miles of pipe with five pumping stations, but service is started through one of three providers: White House Utility District, Madison Suburban Utility District or Metro Water Services. Which one applies depends on where the lot sits. A lot with a sewer line at the curb needs only a tap. A lot without one needs a septic design, which in Davidson County Metro Public Health handles, including soils interpretation and percolation-test monitoring. [7],[10]

Larger lots and the shape of the roll

The Davidson County roll lists 183 vacant residential parcels with a Goodlettsville address. The median size is about 0.91 acres, or 39,640 square feet, so many parcels are close to an acre. Half-acre, one-acre and two-to-three-acre parcels each make up a notable share. Acreage matters here because a bigger lot may fit a septic field or be split, if city subdivision rules allow it. Planning reviews plats and site plans before a split is final. [1],[8]

Stormwater and the I-65 corridor

The city runs a stormwater program for runoff and nuisance flooding, and a lot near a creek or low ground may need drainage work. The interstate is also changing. TDOT's 3.4-mile Phase 3 widening adds a lane each direction, replaces eight bridges including the ones over Long Hollow Pike and East Cedar Street, and is due by November 30, 2027. Construction adds closures and detours near the corridor until then. [9],[14]

Common situations

Selling land in Goodlettsville in these situations

You inherited a lot and are unsure who taxes it

A lot inside the city limits can carry two tax bills. Goodlettsville is one of only three Davidson County cities with its own city property tax, separate from Metro's, so ask both offices what is owed. Metro's own tax is due the first Monday of October and must be paid in full by the last day of February. The lot can still be sold; an independent title company confirms who may sign and what is owed. [11],[3]

Back taxes or liens are piling up

Yes. Metro adds 1.5 percent interest on the first day of each month starting March 1. Delinquent parcels can go to a Chancery Court tax sale, and the former owner has a one-year right to redeem afterward. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent, so you do not have to pay them first to get an offer. [11],[12]

You live out of state and cannot visit

You can sell without visiting. 4% of owners on this vacant-lot roll use a mailing address outside Tennessee. Documents can be signed electronically, the title company can handle a mail-away closing, and payment goes by check or wire. The deed is recorded with the Davidson County Register of Deeds, so nothing requires you to be in town. [1],[13]

Questions

Selling land in Goodlettsville: common questions

Does Goodlettsville issue its own building permits?

Yes. For a project in Davidson County, the city issues the building permit and does building and fire inspections. Plumbing, gas and mechanical, and electrical permits come from Metro Nashville Codes.

Why does Metro's zoning map show 6ZZ for my Goodlettsville lot?

Because 6ZZ is the code Metro assigned to the entire city as a satellite city. The city keeps its own zoning map for properties inside its limits, so ask the city planning office for the real district.

Do I pay a separate city tax on a Goodlettsville lot?

Yes. Goodlettsville is one of three cities in Davidson County, with Belle Meade and Ridgetop, that have separate city property taxes. Metro's bill is due the first Monday of October and is delinquent after the last day of February.

Can I sell a Goodlettsville lot that has no sewer line?

Yes. We buy vacant land without a sewer connection. City sewer service starts through White House Utility District, Madison Suburban Utility District or Metro Water Services, and in Davidson County Metro Public Health handles septic design.

Does this page cover the Sumner County side of the city?

No. It covers Davidson County roll parcels with a Goodlettsville address. The city also lies in Sumner County, where the city issues the permit directly and a county adequate facilities tax applies to new development.

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 to Sell Land From Another State

    You usually do not have to travel to sell land in another state. A title company, escrow company, or closing attorney can coordinate title review, approved signing and notarization, recording, and payment by check or wire. The main limits are state-specific deed rules and title: every owner and signer must have authority. Independently verify the parcel, closing company, and payment instructions before signing.

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 Goodlettsville. 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.
