| Interstate 24 and county roads | The town's street department says it does not maintain I-24 or Highways 49, 257 and 431, and says border roads such as Sandy Springs and Jack Teasley are Robertson County's. It counts about 60 miles of roads in town. [5] |

What moves the price in Coopertown
Acreage, slope and the lot-size rules
Many parcels here are acreage, not small lots. The roll counts 264 vacant residential parcels with a median size of 1.76 acres, about 76,450 square feet, and the largest group is the mini-estate (2-3 acres), at 19%. The zoning ordinance ties slope to lot size: ground sloping 15 to 20 percent needs at least 1 acre and slopes over 20 percent need at least 2 acres. A parcel with a level building site is easier to use than one that is mostly hillside. Median appraised value on the roll is $70,000, middle half $52,900–$121,000; that is the assessor's figure, not a sale price or an offer. [4]
Septic, well and water access
Whether a parcel can take a house depends on water and wastewater. Robertson County asks applicants to show a water tap or a well letter and a septic permit or sewer tap receipt before a building permit. Septic requests go through TDEC, and the zoning ordinance's site-plan submittal rules call for a TDEC letter on any on-site sewage system. Plumbing permits in town run through the Springfield Water Department. A parcel with a proven septic site and a tap is worth more to a builder than one with neither. We buy lots with no water, sewer or road work, and check utilities on every parcel. [8],[2],[4]
What a builder pays the town
Town fees are posted and small next to site work. Enclosed living space is $1.00 per square foot, garages and accessory buildings $0.25, a new driveway $50, and mechanical work $75. Post-frame homes, including barndominiums, need an engineer-stamped drawing, and a driveway over 8 percent grade may need a civil engineer's plans. Grading under one acre has no fee, but 5 acres or more costs $200 plus $30 per acre. These costs shape what a buyer can pay for raw land. [2]
Greenbelt taxes and what a split can trigger
Some larger parcels are taxed on use value under Tennessee's greenbelt program, which needs at least 15 acres of farm or forest land or 3 acres of open space. When land leaves the program, rollback taxes for the prior three years (agricultural and forest) or five years (open space) can come due. Rollback is a recapture of the tax saved, payable after written notice from the assessor. Ask the Robertson County Assessor whether a parcel is enrolled before a sale or split. Property taxes are due in October and go delinquent on March 1. [9],[10]
Common situations
Selling land in Coopertown in these situations
You inherited acreage you do not use
Yes. You can sell inherited land even if you have never walked it. Where the land is a larger tract, the parcel's size, road frontage and any greenbelt status matter at closing, and an independent title company works through the title. You can sign electronically, close by mail, and be paid by check or wire. Closing is typically about 10 days after the agreement is signed, depending on title. [9]
The land is steep or has no septic approval
Yes. We buy vacant land that may not yet have a septic approval, and a steep parcel can be sold too. The zoning ordinance asks for at least 1 acre on 15 to 20 percent slopes and 2 acres above 20 percent, so steepness changes what a buyer can build. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. A failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [4]
Back taxes or a greenbelt rollback are owed
Yes. Delinquent taxes add 1.5% interest on March 1 and each month after. Rollback taxes from leaving greenbelt become delinquent on March 1 of the year after notice. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent, so you do not have to bring cash to the table first. [11],[9]
You live in another state
Yes. 97% of owners of vacant residential parcels in this roll group use a Tennessee mailing address, while 3% list another state. Selling needs no trip: sign electronically, close by mail through an independent title company, and get paid by check or wire.

Questions
Selling land in Coopertown: common questions
Who issues building permits for land in Coopertown?
Inside the town, the Building & Codes Department at 5153 Burgess Gower Road issues building, grading, driveway, fence, pool and sign permits. Plumbing runs through the Springfield Water Department and electrical through the State. For land outside town limits, check Robertson County's permit checklist.
How small can a building lot be in Coopertown?
No residence may be built on a lot narrower than 75 feet at the building line or smaller than 7,500 square feet, and each zoning district sets its own larger minimum. Steep ground raises it: 1 acre on 15 to 20 percent slopes and 2 acres above 20 percent.
What does a driveway or grading permit cost?
A new driveway is $50. Grading is free under one acre, $200 for 1 to under 5 acres, and $200 plus $30 per acre at 5 acres or more. A driveway steeper than 8 percent may need a civil engineer's plans. Fees come from the town's posted schedule.
How does greenbelt rollback work if I sell?
Greenbelt taxes land on its use rather than market value. If land leaves the program, rollback taxes cover the three prior years for farm and forest land or five for open space. They are payable after the assessor's written notice and go delinquent the following March 1.
Does Parcel Buyers buy land outside Tennessee?
Yes. Parcel Buyers buys vacant lots and land for cash nationwide. For a Coopertown parcel you get a written, no-obligation offer within 24 hours and no fees or commissions, and we cover closing costs. Our land inspection is the only contingency.
Owner resources
Guides for your situation
- 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]
- Cash Buyer vs. Realtor vs. FSBO for Land
No path always nets the most. A land agent can market the parcel broadly, FSBO can avoid hiring a listing agent but shifts the sale work to the owner, and accepting a direct cash offer can avoid public marketing and buyer mortgage approval. Compare written net proceeds, contingencies, closing costs, timing, and your workload—not the headline offer alone. Title problems can delay any route.

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 Robertson County roll whose community code is Coopertown. 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.
