How selling land works in Montgomery County
Land records answer different parts of the deal
The Assessor of Property discovers, values and lists taxable property, while the Register of Deeds stores the recorded deed, plat, liens and releases. This page's county roll contains 6,598 vacant residential parcels with a median appraised value of $65,000. That value is not a sale price and does not show whether the lot has legal access, public utilities or enough usable ground for a home and wastewater system. The recorded 2025 lot-sale median of $90,000 is also only a starting point; zoning, access, utilities, flood exposure and title determine an individual offer. [1],[2],[5]
City and county rules do not cover the same land
City and county zoning cases follow different paths. The Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission makes rezoning recommendations for both jurisdictions, but city cases go to the City Council and county cases go to the County Commission. County Building and Codes enforces the county zoning resolution, and its stormwater program applies outside Clarksville's corporate limits. A county building permit is only one approval; the county's own notice says it is not zoning, floodplain, septic, sewer, plumbing or electrical approval. A property-address city on a tax record does not replace a legal-jurisdiction check. [6],[7],[8]
Utilities, septic and floodplain can change site cost
Clarksville Water System reports more than 250,000 consumers in the broader Clarksville-Montgomery County area; that systemwide figure does not identify service at an individual parcel. Where a lot will use septic, TDEC requires a construction permit and may require a soils map or an engineered design. The published conventional permit is $400 for up to 1,000 gallons per day, plus a $100 construction inspection. Floodplain development adds another review: the county application asks for the FEMA zone, base flood elevation and map panel and asks whether a no-rise certification is attached for work in an identified floodway. [10],[9],[11]
Delinquent tax can end in a public sale
County property tax becomes delinquent after the last day of February. Beginning March 1, interest and penalty accrue at 1.5% per month, or 18% per year. Unpaid accounts can enter a lawsuit and tax sale. Montgomery County says property with two or more delinquent years is eligible, and the court sale is subject to a one-year redemption period. An owner may still explore a private sale before rights are lost. If title can be cleared, liens or back taxes may be paid from closing proceeds with the seller's consent. The title company confirms the payoff and court status. [3],[4]
How a Montgomery County cash sale works
Parcel Buyers reviews the deed, title claims, zoning, road access, water and sewer status, septic needs and flood information before offering. If the land fits, you receive a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. We charge no fees or commissions and cover closing costs. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. After a purchase agreement is signed, an independent, licensed title company handles title and closing, typically in about 10 days depending on title. Owners can sign electronically or close by mail and receive payment by check or wire. [5],[6],[11]

Questions
Selling land in Montgomery County: common questions
Which office values vacant land in Montgomery County?
The Assessor of Property does. The office discovers, values and lists taxable property and conducts the state-mandated countywide reappraisal, currently on a five-year cycle with the next reappraisal scheduled for 2029.
Who permits a septic system in Montgomery County?
TDEC does. A new septic system needs a construction permit, and the review may require a soil-consultant map or an engineered design depending on the system and site conditions.
Does a county building permit prove the lot is buildable?
No. Montgomery County's permit notice says the building permit is not zoning, floodplain, septic, sewer, plumbing or electrical approval. Those separate requirements must also work for the proposed home.
Can I sell Montgomery County land with late taxes?
Yes, if the title can be cleared before the tax-sale process ends the owner's rights. Delinquent charges begin March 1, and a title company can calculate the payoff for payment from sale proceeds with consent.
How do I check whether a Montgomery County lot is in a floodplain?
Use the FEMA panel and the county floodplain review for the parcel's legal jurisdiction. The county application requires the flood zone, base flood elevation and map date for development in a designated floodplain.

Guides for your situation
- 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.
- 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 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 all parcels in Montgomery County. 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 October 3, 2026.
