Pricing
What is a lot in Lewisburg 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 Lewisburg
What a water and sewer tap costs
Lewisburg Water and Wastewater lists a 3/4-inch water tap at $3,000 plus a $2,000 capacity fee, $5,000 in all, effective under its November 20, 2024 policy. A 4-inch residential sewer tap is $2,400. Developer-installed taps are priced lower, at $1,000 for sewer and $3,000 including capacity for water. A lot without a tap in front of it adds that bill, or a septic permit, to a builder's budget, and offers reflect it. [6]
Two offices, two sets of rules
The city Planning and Codes Department covers zoning, planning and stormwater. Marshall County's Building Codes Office takes building permit applications, wants a septic permit and proof of water with each one, and adds a $1.00 per square foot adequate facilities fee. The county also expects work to start within 6 months of the permit. Because the city and county each hold part of the process, a buyer checks both before pricing a lot. [3],[7]
Floodplain and drainage
The city states that certain areas of Lewisburg are subject to periodic flooding, and its mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas come from riverine flooding. A substantially improved home there must sit at least one foot above base flood elevation, and an elevation certificate may be required. [5]
Lot size, splits and joining lots
The median lot in this tax-roll scope is 0.18 acres (7,840 square feet), and 26% of the 736 vacant lots are standard city lots. The city charges $125 to plat two lots or fewer, so combining or dividing parcels carries a modest filing fee. The roll's median appraised value for these lots is $29,900, an assessor appraisal and not a sale price. [1],[4]
Common situations
Selling land in Lewisburg in these situations
You inherited a lot from a relative
Yes, you can sell it. Deeds and other real estate documents are recorded by the Marshall County Register of Deeds, which keeps and indexes them for public access. Parcel Buyers sends the offer in writing, you sign electronically, and an independent title company works out what the estate must provide before closing. No trip to Lewisburg is needed. [8]
You live outside Tennessee
Yes. 3% of the vacant-lot owners in this scope have a mailing address outside Tennessee, a small group, but nothing about the sale requires you to be here. Closing can be done by mail, you e-sign, and payment comes by check or wire. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [1]
Your lot sits in a flood-prone area
That does not rule out a sale. Parcel Buyers buys lots that carry flood limits, and the offer accounts for them. Lewisburg requires a floodplain development permit for new residential construction in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and substantially improved homes there must be raised to at least one foot above base flood elevation. [5]

Questions
Selling land in Lewisburg: common questions
Who approves a building permit on a Lewisburg lot?
Marshall County's Building Codes Office takes building permit applications at 206 Legion Avenue, and the city's Planning and Codes Department handles zoning and stormwater. The county permit guide says approval does not waive zoning rules. Call both offices before you list or build.
How much does it cost to connect a Lewisburg lot to water and sewer?
Under the utility's November 2024 policy, a 3/4-inch water tap is $3,000 plus a $2,000 capacity fee, and a 4-inch residential sewer tap is $2,400. Larger water taps cost more, and large sewer taps are priced case by case.
Can I sell a Lewisburg lot that is in a flood zone?
Yes. The city says certain areas flood periodically and requires a floodplain development permit for new residential construction in mapped hazard areas. A flood zone limits what a buyer can build and how, but it does not stop us from making an offer.
Do I need a septic permit before building outside the sewer?
Yes. TDEC issues the permit for a new septic system, at $400 for a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons per day, and Marshall County asks for a valid septic permit with a building permit application. TDEC says review can take up to 45 days.
What does the city charge to split or rezone a lot?
The city's fee schedule, effective June 29, 2022, lists $125 for a minor plat of two lots or fewer and $500 for a rezone. Fees are non-refundable and due at submission, so confirm today's amounts with Planning and Codes.

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]
- How to Sell Land in a Flood Zone
Flood-zone land can be sellable and sometimes buildable. A FEMA flood zone describes mapped risk; it is not a building permit. The buyer must verify the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and any map changes, then ask the local floodplain administrator what elevation, floodway, coastal, permit, and design rules apply.[1][2][4] Vacant land itself is not covered by an NFIP policy; flood insurance covers qualifying buildings and contents, not land value.[5][6]
- 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 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 Marshall County roll whose community code is Lewisburg. 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.
