| Vacant residential lots | 218 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 Tennessee parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Sub-half-acre lot (16,000–19,000 sq ft): 44% of vacant lots; next, half-acre lot at 34%. Median lot: 0.44 acre (19,300 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $18,000 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $7,200 and $25,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few arm's-length vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Ocoee Mountain Club [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 66% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often FL, GA, OH) [1] |
| Platted as 216 homesites | A 2011 Tennessee Court of Appeals opinion says the developer's first Polk County purchase was in 2007, over 100 acres platted as 216 homesites, and names Ocoee Mountain Club as the development. [2] |
| Recorded plat and documents | The Polk County Register of Deeds records plats and other instruments. A subdivision plat must have Planning Commission approval before the Register can record it. [3] |
| Roads in new plats | Polk's December 2024 subdivision rules bar private roads in a new plat unless built to county-maintained standards and marked private on the plat. Maximum street grade is 14 percent. [4] |
| No-sewer lot size, new plats | For new plats, lots without public water and sewer must be at least three-quarters of an acre, or larger if the county health authority says so. Well and septic field must stay 100 feet apart. [4] |
| County building permit | Outside municipal limits Polk County requires a building permit, issued in person only, with a $25 fee. A new E-911 address is required before a new electric meter. [5],[6] |
| Septic permit from the state | Polk is not a TDEC contract county, so septic permits come from TDEC. A new conventional permit is $400 up to 1,000 gallons a day, plus $100 for the construction inspection. [11],[5] |
| 2025 county tax rate | The Comptroller lists Polk County's 2025 rate at $1.6895 per $100 of assessed value, unchanged from 2024. Polk reappraises on a five-year cycle. [9],[5] |

| Ocoee reservoirs | TVA says Ocoee 1 Reservoir, known as Parksville Reservoir, is 16 miles east of Cleveland, and the Ocoee reservoirs lie in Polk County. The roll does not say these lots touch the water. [12] |
Pricing
What is a lot in Ocoee Mountain Club 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 Ocoee Mountain Club
A recorded plat and recorded restrictions
This is a platted subdivision, not loose acreage. A 2011 court opinion says its land was platted as 216 homesites after a 2007 purchase, and the roll counts 218 vacant residential parcels under the subdivision's name. The Polk Register of Deeds records plats and other instruments, so a lot's plat and any recorded restrictions are public. Any association dues come from those recorded documents and the association's own bills, not from a county rate. Pull them before you price the lot. [2],[1],[3]
Roads, addresses and who maintains what
Road upkeep depends on whether a road is county-maintained or private, and the plat says which. Polk's 2024 rules for new plats require private roads to meet county standards and be marked private on the plat, with streets capped at a 14 percent grade. Those rules govern new plats, not this older subdivision, but they show what the county expects. A new home also needs an E-911 address before the electric meter, and the building permit is $25. [4],[6],[5]
Small lots and the septic question
The median lot is 0.44 acre, or 19,300 square feet, and the largest group is the sub-half-acre lot, 44% of the total. On a lot without public sewer, the septic system and its field must fit the site. TDEC permits a conventional system for $400 up to 1,000 gallons a day plus a $100 inspection. For new plats, Polk requires three-quarters of an acre without public water and sewer, so a lot's size and its soil both matter. [1],[11],[4]
Appraised value is not an offer price
The median appraised value of these vacant lots is $18,000, and the middle half runs $7,200–$25,000. Appraised value is the assessor's market appraisal. Residential land is assessed at 25% of it, and the county's $1.6895 rate per $100 applies to that smaller number. These are tax figures, not a sale price and not a Parcel Buyers offer. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [1],[10],[9]
Common situations
Selling land in Ocoee Mountain Club in these situations
You bought a homesite years ago and never built
Yes, you can sell a lot you never built on. 66% of vacant-lot owners in this subdivision have a mailing address outside Tennessee, so absent owners are the norm here. You can sign electronically, close by mail through an independent title company, and be paid by check or wire. The title company finds the recorded plat and any restrictions before closing. [1],[3]
Taxes or other liens have built up
Yes, you can sell a lot with back taxes or liens. The Polk Trustee collects property tax, and the Chancery Court handles property sold for delinquent taxes. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent, so a balance does not have to be cleared before you ask for an offer. [7],[8]
You own two or more lots side by side
Adjoining lots with the same owner can be offered together. Most lots here are close to a half acre, so two or three together give a buyer a wider site and more room for a septic field. Size alone does not settle access, setbacks or buildability, which is why we check access and title on every parcel. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Ocoee Mountain Club: common questions
Can I sell my Ocoee Mountain Club lot if it has no sewer?
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant lots for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. A buyer without public sewer uses a state septic permit, which is $400 for a conventional system up to 1,000 gallons a day plus a $100 inspection. We check utilities, access and title before offering.
What do I need from the association before I sell?
Ask the association for any dues statement, and pull the recorded plat and restrictions from the Register of Deeds. No county rate sets dues, so the covenants control. The independent title company finds recorded restrictions and liens, and liens can be paid from proceeds at closing with your consent.
Do I need a county permit to build on a lot here?
Yes. Polk County requires a building permit outside municipal limits, issued in person only, with a $25 fee. A new E-911 address is required before a new electric meter, and septic approval comes separately from TDEC.
How much does it cost to hold an empty lot each year?
The 2025 county rate is $1.6895 per $100 of assessed value, and residential land is assessed at 25% of appraisal. Polk reappraises on a five-year cycle, so the appraisal can change. Add any association dues, which depend on the covenants. Your tax bill shows the actual amount.
Can I sell if I live in another state?
Yes. 66% of vacant-lot owners in this subdivision 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, without travelling to Polk County.

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 Polk County roll whose subdivision name is Ocoee Mountain Club. 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.
