| Vacant residential lots | 232 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 Tennessee parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Mini-estate (2-3 acres) (70,000–140,000 sq ft): 22% of vacant lots; next, 5-acre ranchette at 12%. Median lot: 2.00 acre (87,120 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $69,400 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $48,800 and $125,600 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Woodlawn [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 6% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often AZ, KY, TX) [1] |
| Unincorporated community | Woodlawn is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, on U.S. Route 79 west of Clarksville, with ZIP code 37191. The Census place list for Tennessee has no entry named Woodlawn. [2],[3] |
| County issues the permits | Montgomery County Building and Codes issues building and plumbing permits, enforces the county zoning resolution and reviews subdivision plats before preliminary and final approval. [4] |
| A building permit is not zoning | The county's permit notice says a building permit is not zoning approval, floodplain compliance, a septic or sewer permit, or a plumbing or electric permit. It is void if work does not start within 180 days. [5] |
| Acreage minimums in county zones | The county zoning resolution sets a 1.5-acre minimum lot for a dwelling in the AG district and 1 acre in the E-1 estate district, and 15,000 square feet in R-1, or 20,000 with an on-lot septic system. [6] |
| No sewer, TDEC sets the area | Where no sanitary sewer serves a zone, the resolution says lot area is set by TDEC groundwater protection staff, but never below the district minimum. [6] |

| Fort Campbell | Fort Campbell occupies about 107,000 acres across four counties, Montgomery among them, between Hopkinsville and Clarksville. The Army's plan gives no distance to Woodlawn. [11] |
Pricing
What is a lot in Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn
Acreage lots, not small town lots
The median lot among 232 vacant residential parcels is 2.00 acres, or 87,120 square feet. The largest group is the mini-estate (2-3 acres), 22% of the total. That is above the county's 1.5-acre AG minimum for a dwelling and the 1-acre E-1 minimum. Frontage, a usable building site and a cleared path to the road shape the value more than the number of lots. [1],[6]
County rules, not a city's
Woodlawn has no city government of its own, so the county zoning resolution and the county building office apply. Building and Codes issues the permits and enforces the zoning, and the same office checks zoning compliance on subdivision plats. The county's notice warns that a building permit is only that: it is not zoning approval, a floodplain check or a septic permit, and it expires if work does not begin within 180 days. [2],[4],[5]
Septic where no sewer reaches
Where no sewer line serves a lot, the zoning resolution has TDEC set the lot area, never below the district minimum. TDEC permits a new conventional system for $400 up to 1,000 gallons a day, plus a $100 construction inspection, and says review generally takes 10 days. A buyer prices the septic site review, the well or water line and the driveway together. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [6],[10]
Appraised value is not an offer price
The median appraised value of these vacant lots is $69,400, and the middle half runs $48,800–$125,600. Appraised value is the assessor's market appraisal. Residential land is assessed at 25% of it, and the county's $2.1000 rate per $100 is applied to that smaller figure. The appraisal and the rate are tax numbers, not a sale price and not a Parcel Buyers offer. [1],[9],[8]
Common situations
Selling land in Woodlawn in these situations
You inherited acreage you have never walked
Yes, you can sell inherited land you have never seen. Many tracts here run several acres, and Parcel Buyers buys land with no water, sewer or road work. The independent title company traces the recorded deed before closing, and signing can be electronic with a mail-away closing paid by check or wire. [1]
The taxes have fallen behind
Yes, you can sell a lot that owes back taxes. The Montgomery Trustee says land delinquent two or more years can go to the county tax sale, where the Chancery Court orders a cash sale with a one-year redemption period. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent, which can resolve the balance before a sale is ordered. [7]
You live in another state
Yes. 6% of vacant-lot owners in this scope have a mailing address outside Tennessee, so a seller who has never visited is common. You can sign electronically, close by mail through the title company and be paid by check or wire, without travelling to the county. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Woodlawn: common questions
Can I sell my Woodlawn land if it has no water or sewer?
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant land for cash, including parcels with no water, sewer or road work. Without sewer, a buyer uses a state septic permit, $400 for a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day plus a $100 inspection. We check utilities, access and title before making an offer.
How much does it cost to hold vacant land here each year?
The county rate is $2.1000 per $100 of assessed value for 2025, and residential land is assessed at 25% of its appraisal. An unincorporated lot does not pay Clarksville's added city rate. Your bill comes from the Trustee and the assessor's current appraisal, so check the tax bill for the actual amount.
Do I need a county permit to build on a lot here?
Yes. Montgomery County Building and Codes issues building and plumbing permits and enforces the county zoning resolution outside the city. A building permit does not replace zoning, floodplain, septic or electric approvals, and it is void if work does not start within 180 days.
Can I split my acreage before I sell it?
A split is a plat decision, and it is optional for a sale. Building and Codes reviews subdivision plats for zoning compliance before preliminary and final approval. Parcel Buyers can make an offer on the parcel as it stands, so you do not need a plat to ask for one.
What happens to my land if I stop paying the taxes?
After two or more delinquent years it can be placed in the county tax sale. The Chancery Court orders the sale for cash and the owner keeps a one-year right of redemption. Selling first lets liens or back taxes be paid from proceeds at closing, with your consent.

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 on the Montgomery County roll whose property-address city is Woodlawn. 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.
