Zoning permit The town says a permit is required before any excavation or building in town limits. Applicants apply at the Bean Station Police Department, and the zoning ordinance was passed in July 1998. [4]

Pricing

What is a lot in Bean Station 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 Bean Station

Whether the lot can reach town sewer

The town runs its own wastewater utility, and its 2026 application shows how a new customer connects. Where service needs a low-pressure sewer pump, the town operates the pump. The owner then grants a 15-foot line easement and a 20-by-20-foot pump easement, pays the pump's electricity and keeps the easement mowed. Fees are set by the town's rate schedule. A lot with no sewer needs a TDEC septic permit, which costs $400 for a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day, plus $100 for the inspection. [5],[8]

What the tax roll shows about vacant lots

Of the 181 vacant residential parcels in this tax-roll scope, the median is 0.47 acres, and the largest group is the third-acre lot, at 22% of the total. The roll also gives a median appraised value of $27,500, with the middle half between $21,600–$38,300. Appraised value is the assessor's estimate for tax purposes, not a sale price or an offer from Parcel Buyers. [1]

Town zoning applies only inside the limits

A buyer inside town limits needs a zoning permit before any excavation or building, applied for at the police department under an ordinance passed in 1998. The town posts its zoning map and zoning book online, so a buyer can see a lot's zone before making an offer. A parcel outside town limits follows county rules instead. This tax-roll scope follows the community code on the Grainger County roll, so some parcels may sit on either side of the line. [4],[3]

Lake proximity and reservoir rules

Cherokee Lake shapes the area, but the reservoir is not simply private shoreline. TWRA says TVA owns the land up to the 1,075-foot elevation mark and controls water levels, with winter drawdowns up to 40 feet. A lot near the water may have a different value than one inland, and a buyer will want to know where the owned line ends and TVA land begins. [6]

Common situations

Selling land in Bean Station in these situations

You inherited a lot and live out of state

Yes. You can sell inherited land from anywhere. 4% 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. The title company will tell you what estate paperwork it needs. [1]

Back taxes have piled up on the lot

You can still sell. County property tax is delinquent on March 1 after the October due date, and 1.5% interest is added on that date and on the first of each month after. Nobody can waive that interest, according to the University of Tennessee's county advisory service. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [10],[11]

The lot has no sewer line nearby

A lot far from the town's sewer is still sellable. A buyer would plan for a septic system under a TDEC permit or ask the town about a low-pressure connection. We buy lots with no water, sewer or road work, and we check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [5],[8]

Questions

Selling land in Bean Station: common questions

Does the town have to approve a building plan before I sell?

No. The town's permit page covers excavation and building, not sales. It requires a zoning permit before any excavation or building inside its limits, applied for at the police department. That step falls on whoever builds, so a buyer handles it after closing.

How does a lot in Bean Station connect to sewer?

Through the town's wastewater utility. The owner applies, pays the application, deposit and connection fees, and where a pump is needed grants a 15-foot line easement and a 20-by-20-foot pump easement. The owner also pays the pump's electricity.

Who issues a septic permit for a Grainger County lot?

TDEC does. Grainger County is not on the state's contract-county list. A conventional permit up to 1,000 gallons a day costs $400 plus a $100 inspection, and TDEC says review generally takes 10 days and must finish within 45.

What happens when county property tax is late?

Interest of 1.5% is added on March 1 and on the first of each month after. The trustee has to take late payments with interest until the account goes to the delinquent-tax attorney. Back taxes can be paid from sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent.

Is part of the town in another county?

Yes. Bean Station is mostly in Grainger County, with a small part in Hawkins County. The tax-roll figures on this page cover only parcels on the Grainger County roll whose community code is Bean Station.

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 Grainger County roll whose community code is Bean Station. 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.
