Typical appraised value $144,800 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $102,600 and $219,500 [1]
Recent lot sale prices $140,000 median across 21 arm's-length sales of vacant lots in Jasper Highlands (Jan 2025–Dec 2025); the middle half sold for $100,000–$215,000 [1]
Who bought lots in 2025 Companies made 0% of those purchases; individuals made the rest [1]
Owners who live elsewhere 77% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often CA, FL, GA) [1]
What these numbers cover Vacant residential parcels only where the Marion County roll lists a Jasper Highlands section. That is a subdivision plat, not every lot inside the Town of Jasper. [4]
Who platted the sections The June 2020 newsletter says the community was "Developed by Thunder Enterprises." It described an 8,893-acre plan, about 1,500 lots, and a fifth phase of 150 lots. [12]
Gate, dues, and fire bill The homepage calls this a private gated mountain community. The company FAQ lists association dues of $82 a month and fire department coverage at $324 a year. [9],[11]
Drinking water The company says the JH Water System is provided and treated by the South Pittsburg Board of Water Works. The services page names city water and never names a sewer utility. [10]
Power lines and fiber The company says the utilities are underground and that gigabit internet comes from the Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative. The co-op says SVEConnect fiber serves Marion County. [10],[13]
Septic permits Marion County will not issue a septic permit or run a perc test. On the TDEC fee list, a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day is $400. The March 27, 2026 county sheet says that state permit lasts 3 years. [8],[2]
Which office permits a house Outside a city, Marion County issues the building permit and has used the 2018 International Codes from January 1, 2020. A lot inside a city goes to that city. Jasper has its own inspector. These sections were not pinned to the town line. [7],[5]
State construction permit TDEC permit TN0081949, issued to Thunder Enterprises, covered about 2,700 acres of residential construction. The state terminated it on April 19, 2024. A note that day said later lot work would move to general construction-permit coverage. [3]
Fiery Gizzard State Park Fiery Gizzard State Park spans Marion and Grundy counties, with its south trailhead at Foster Falls. Its 7,811 acres form a large state-managed land block across those counties. [14]
Mini-estate (2-3 acres) 30% Acre-plus 10% One-acre homesite 9% Oversized half-acre 9% All other sizes 43%
Vacant residential lots in Jasper Highlands by lot size, 2026 Tennessee parcel and assessment data [1]. Mini-estate (2-3 acres) 30%, Acre-plus 10%, One-acre homesite 9%, Oversized half-acre 9%, All other sizes 43%.

Pricing

What is a lot in Jasper Highlands worth?

In 2025, vacant lots in Jasper Highlands sold for a median of $140,000 across 21 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $100,000 to $215,000. [1]

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 Jasper Highlands

Most 2025 lot sales started with the developer

Most 2025 lot sales in these sections started with the developer, so read them as lot sales, not a later handoff from one owner to the next. This roll shows 21 lot sales. The median is $140,000, and the middle of that set runs $100,000–$215,000. The median is only the midpoint of those deeds. Do not treat that midpoint as the market price of the lot you hold, and do not treat the count as every sale recorded in 2025. Each counted deed is a warranty deed, the lot was vacant at the sale, the deed covers one parcel, and the price is at least $1,000. The median appraised value on that same group is $144,800, the assessor's market appraisal. It is not the taxable assessment, and it is not a cash price. The middle half of the appraisals is $102,600–$219,500. Only sections the Marion County roll files under this subdivision are in the set. [4]

Association dues and the fire bill on a vacant lot

A vacant lot here can still carry a monthly association bill and a separate fire bill. The company FAQ page lists a home owners' association fee of $82 a month, which is $984 a year before anything else. It lists fire department coverage at $324 a year and prints no separate rate for an empty lot. That pair leaves out county property tax. The FAQ also says there are no time restrictions to build, which is one reason a lot can sit empty and keep getting billed. Those dollars are what the company posts on its website. They are not a tax bill, and they are not a statement with your name on it. [11]

Large homesites, two acreage figures, and named creeks

Vacant lots here are mostly large homesites. The leading size is a mini-estate (2-3 acres), about 30% of this set, and the midpoint lot is 1.40 acres (60,880 square feet). The company FAQ gives its own range: 0.57 acres to more than 7 acres, with an average of about 1.5 acres. Keep that company average separate from the roll median. Read the June 2020 newsletter as a 2020 statement. Lots were typically one to five acres, a fifth phase would add 150 lots, and the plan was about 1,500 lots on 8,893 acres. State permit TN0081949 described about 2,700 acres of residential construction. Those acreages measure different things, and neither is your lot. The permit names receiving streams for construction runoff, including Raulston Branch and tributaries of Battle Creek and Big Fiery Gizzard Creek. The homepage describes wooded homesites on a plateau behind a gate. [4],[11],[12],[3],[9]

City water, paved roads, and a state septic fee

Water, the street, and sewage each sit apart from the association bill. The services page says drinking water is the JH Water System, treated by the South Pittsburg Board of Water Works, and that the lines are buried. The company FAQ adds paved roads, its own fire department, and fiber-optic web access. Gigabit internet on that page is credited to the Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative, and the co-op says SVEConnect fiber serves Marion County. That is not proof of a drop on your lot. No company page opened here names a public sewer. Septic permits come from TDEC's Division of Water Resources. A conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day costs $400, plus $100 to inspect the installation. An alternative system is $500. A usual review is about 10 days, and 45 days is the outside limit after a complete application. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [10],[11],[13],[2]

Common situations

Selling land in Jasper Highlands in these situations

Dues keep coming while nothing is built

You can sell an empty lot that the association is still billing. The company FAQ lists the association fee at $82 a month and fire coverage at $324 a year, and it says there are no time restrictions to build. Those charges can run for years beside a median appraised value of $144,800. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer, or road work. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. [11],[4]

The road, the tap, or a drain field is unfinished

You can sell before a road, a water tap, or a septic field is finished. The June 2020 newsletter still told people to stay off unpaved roads and hunting areas, so some stretches were not paved then. The current services page describes city water and underground lines, and it never describes a sewer. You do not have to extend a main, pave a private street, or dig a drain field in order to sell the vacant lot. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [12],[10]

The owner lives outside Tennessee

Yes, you can close from another state. In this set, 77% of owners use a mailing address outside Tennessee, and the biggest group of those addresses is in California. The share is not a tally of every buyer in 2025. You can sign on a screen or with mail-away papers, and you can be paid by check or by wire. Appraisal is the Assessor of Property's job. Collecting the tax is the County Trustee's job. A cash offer is a separate number from both of those. [4]

Covenants can bind a lot that has no zoning

The plat and the association can limit a vacant lot even if you never build. Outside city limits the county has no zoning, so those recorded limits are often the only use rules. Ask the Register of Deeds for the covenants, and bring the state tax map and parcel number that office requires. The Town of Jasper is a separate city with its own inspector and its own water and sewer. Nothing opened for this page proves every section is outside that town. A building permit in a mapped flood plain also needs a FEMA elevation certificate under the county sheet revised April 1, 2026. A sale of vacant land does not require that certificate. [6],[7],[5]

    If you accept, everyone signs the purchase agreement electronically. There is nothing to print or mail at this stage.

Questions

Selling land in Jasper Highlands: common questions

Is Jasper Highlands the same place as the Town of Jasper?

No. These figures follow subdivision sections on the Marion County roll, not the town boundary. A Jasper or Kimball mailing city is not the same thing as a city limit. TDEC's construction permit lists the site on Jasper Highlands Boulevard and puts Kimball in the city field. The county building sheet revised April 1, 2026 says the county permits unincorporated land only, and a lot inside a city goes to that city. MTAS lists Jasper as an incorporated town with its own building inspector, water, and sewer. Check your parcel's location before you assume which office would permit a house.

How much does it cost to keep an empty lot here each year?

The company FAQ lists two owner charges that apply before property tax. Association dues are $82 a month, or $984 a year. Fire department coverage is $324 a year, and the FAQ prints no separate rate for an empty lot. County property tax is a separate bill from the Trustee. The FAQ is the company's posted schedule, not an invoice for your parcel.

Can I sell my lot if the road or a sewer line is not in?

Yes. The empty lot can change hands before anyone paves, taps water, or installs septic. The company describes paved roads and city water, and the services page never names a sewer utility. In June 2020 the newsletter still told residents to avoid unpaved roads, so some sections were not finished then. None of that work, and none of the septic fee, has to be done first.

Who issues the building permit, the town or the county?

It depends on the city limit. The county sheet revised April 1, 2026 says that office permits unincorporated Marion County and sends a city lot to that city. Those county permits follow the 2018 International Codes, adopted January 1, 2020. The Town of Jasper has its own building inspector. Unincorporated land has no zoning, but covenants and association rules can still be stricter. The Register of Deeds is where you ask for the recorded set, using the state tax map and parcel. This page did not confirm a town boundary for every section.

Must I get a septic permit before I sell an empty lot?

No. That permit is only for putting in a new system or fixing one that failed. It is not part of transferring the deed. On the state fee list, a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day costs $400, and the follow-up inspection costs $100. The alternative-system permit is $500. A normal review is about 10 days, with a hard stop at 45 days. Marion County's building office does not take septic applications or perc tests. Its March 27, 2026 sheet says a TDEC permit remains good for 3 years. You can sell the vacant lot without opening a test pit.

Does the company require me to build by a set date?

No. The company FAQ says there are no time restrictions to build, and the company also has an in-house building division plus other approved builders if you do build later. No build clock is one reason a lot stays vacant while the $82 monthly association fee and the $324 yearly fire charge continue. You can sell the lot instead of starting a house. The association papers still travel with the land.

Guides for your situation

  • 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]

  • 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.

  • 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 whose subdivision on the Marion County roll is a Jasper Highlands section. 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 September 30, 2026.
