Pricing
What is a lot in Springfield worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Springfield sold for a median of $100,000 across 21 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $70,000 to $120,000. [1]
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. Homebuilders made 52% of the 2025 lot purchases in Springfield, and builder demand can lift sale prices above what a single owner usually gets from a cash buyer.
What moves the price in Springfield
City boundary and utility service come before price
The label in this dataset is a Robertson County community code, not a surveyed city boundary. A parcel carrying that label may be inside the city, outside it or beyond a particular utility line. Inside the city, Community Development handles zoning and building review, and the city operates water and wastewater systems. It also says some water and gas service reaches portions of the county, which means utility service and municipal jurisdiction are separate questions. Outside the city, the county permit checklist applies and asks for a recorded deed, site plan, driveway permit, 911 address, water evidence and a septic permit or sewer receipt. We verify the boundary and obtain a parcel-specific utility answer before treating a nearby line as an available tap. [1],[3],[2],[6],[10]
Water, sewer and development fees affect a homesite
A serviced lot can still have meaningful connection costs. The city posts a $700 water tap fee and a $700 sewer tap fee. A standard three-quarter-inch residential water installation is listed at $1,100 on the short side of a road or $1,300 on the long side, plus cost, while a standard six-inch wastewater installation is $900 plus cost. The city separately posts system-development fees. For a single-family unit, the listed general-government, fire, parks, police and transportation fees total $4,555; the three-quarter-inch water fee is $635 and wastewater is $4,778, for $5,413 in utility development fees. These schedules do not prove a line reaches the parcel or quote the final bill. The utility and permit offices must confirm capacity, frontage, installation and current charges. [7],[8],[5]
Floodplain, drainage and plan review can shrink the site
Usable area matters more than gross square footage. The city requires a development permit for grading, filling, new construction or another man-made change in its floodplain. It has participated in the federal flood program since 1974 and tells applicants to establish elevation to the nearest tenth of a foot. It also warns that floodplain construction can be difficult and costly and that work near streams may require state or federal review. A site plan with a building footprint of at least 50,000 square feet goes to the Planning Commission, while a smaller footprint may receive staff review; the city estimates 30 to 45 days. A residential buyer still needs to verify setbacks, drainage, access and the buildable pad for the specific zoning district. [9],[4],[3]
Community-code lot sales are only a starting point
The roll identifies 523 vacant residential parcels with the Springfield community code, and the median parcel is 0.28 acres, about 12,070 square feet. The most common category is micro lot, at 15% of this set. Qualifying 2025 lot sales had a median of $100,000, with the middle half at $70,000–$120,000, across 21 sales. The median appraised value is $50,000, with the middle half at $27,500–$70,000. Those figures are not confined to the legal city boundary and do not guarantee a parcel's market value. We adjust for jurisdiction, title, road access, utility capacity, sewer or septic, grade, floodplain and restrictions before offering. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Springfield in these situations
Your roll parcel is outside the city
Yes, it can still be sold. The community code is a county-roll label and does not prove municipal jurisdiction. Outside the city, Robertson County's permit checklist requires a deed, site plan, driveway permit, 911 address and water and wastewater evidence for new construction. We buy parcels in or outside a city boundary. We verify jurisdiction, utilities, access and title during our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. [1],[10]
The lot has no public sewer
Yes, a lot without sewer can be sold. The city operates wastewater service, but the community code does not prove that a line or capacity reaches the parcel. Where sewer is unavailable, TDEC handles septic review for Robertson County and may require a site sketch or licensed soils map. We buy vacant lots with no water or sewer and account for the likely investigation and site-work cost in the offer. [5],[11],[12]
The parcel is in a mapped floodplain
Yes, floodplain land can still be sold. Inside the city, grading, filling, construction and other man-made changes in the floodplain require a development permit, and the city warns that those projects can be difficult and costly. The exact elevation, access and usable pad determine the impact. We review mapped flood risk and physical conditions before making the written offer. [9]
You own the lot from another state
Yes. 94% of owners in this community-code set have Tennessee mailing addresses, while 6% have addresses elsewhere in the United States and 0% are outside the country. A remote seller can sign electronically or by mail through an independent, licensed title company and receive payment by check or wire. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Springfield: common questions
Is every community-code parcel inside Springfield city limits?
No. This page's numbers cover Robertson County roll parcels whose community code is Springfield. That label is not a legal boundary determination and does not prove city utility service. Confirm the parcel against the city boundary and obtain a service answer from the relevant utility before planning a build.
Who issues a building permit for my parcel?
Inside the city, Community Development handles city planning, development regulations, zoning and Building & Codes. Outside the city, Robertson County handles the county permit process. Because this dataset uses a community code rather than a city boundary, confirm jurisdiction from the parcel before filing an application.
Does every lot have city water and sewer?
No. The city operates both systems, but some services extend into portions of the county, and a community code does not prove line location or capacity. The city posts separate tap, installation and development fees. Request written availability and current cost for the exact parcel.
Who permits septic where sewer is unavailable?
TDEC's Division of Water Resources handles septic review because Robertson County is not a contract county. A construction permit is required before installation or repair. TDEC can require a site drawing or licensed soils map, and the approved disposal area must work with the proposed home and access.
What should I check on a floodplain lot?
Check the mapped zone, surveyed elevation, drainage path and usable building pad. The city requires a development permit for grading, filling, construction or other changes inside its floodplain and may require elevation work. Stream-related work can also need state or federal review, so the city map is only the starting point.
Can I sell without traveling to Tennessee?
Yes. A remote seller can sign electronically or use a mail-away closing through an independent, licensed title company. Payment can be made by check or wire. Closing is typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title.

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 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 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]

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 Springfield. 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 2, 2026.
