|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Third-acre lot (13,000–16,000 sq ft): 23% of vacant lots; next, quarter-acre lot at 21%. Median lot: 0.35 acre (15,160 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $30,000 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $25,000 and $35,000 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | $30,000 median across 16 arm's-length sales of vacant lots in Sky Harbor (Jan 2025–Nov 2025); the middle half sold for $26,800–$40,000 [1] |
| Who bought lots in 2025 | Companies made 38% of those purchases, including 6% by homebuilders; individuals made the rest [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 60% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often FL, OH, SC) [1] |
| Subdivision, not a town | Sky Harbor is a subdivision name on the Sevier County roll, not one of the incorporated municipalities listed for Sevier County in the state's 2025 assessment report. [1],[6] |
| Current survey required | Sevier County Environmental Health specifically requires Sky Harbor septic applications to include a current original survey printed at 1 inch equals 50 or 100 feet. [2] |
| Local septic program | Sevier County runs its own septic program. The county lists a $300 septic permit, $75 repair permit, $100 inspection letter and a current three-week processing estimate. [2],[5] |
| Covenants are record work | County subdivision rules put plats and related covenants in the Register of Deeds records. Current association dues or road charges need a recorded-document and payoff check. [4] |
| Slope affects the permit | The county may deny a building permit when required setbacks cannot be met. Its zoning rules also require permit details before construction starts. [3] |
| Septic approval expires | Sevier County says its septic permits expire three years after issue and are not renewable, although they may transfer to a new owner. [2] |
| Great Smoky Mountains National Park | A Great Smoky Mountains National Park communications-center log recorded multiple fire rekindles at King Branch, Knatty Branch and Sky Harbor on November 29, 2016. That documented response makes vegetation and emergency access relevant to a vacant-lot review. [7] |
Pricing
What is a lot in Sky Harbor worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Sky Harbor sold for a median of $30,000 across 16 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $26,800 to $40,000. [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.
What moves the price in Sky Harbor
Survey, plat and association records come first
This page covers parcels with Sky Harbor in the subdivision field, so the lot number, recorded plat, easements and restrictions matter before anyone prices a homesite. Sevier County's current subdivision rules use a three-step review process and call for the approved final plat and related legal documents to be recorded. The county says approved final plats are sent for recording within 10 working days after signature. Those rules explain where to look, but they do not prove a current association balance. We check the legal description and title record, and the title company can obtain any current payoff tied to the parcel. [4]
A current survey is part of septic due diligence
A future septic system cannot be priced from the subdivision name alone. Sevier County Environmental Health singles out Sky Harbor, Shagbark and English Mountain for a current-survey requirement. For Sky Harbor, the survey must be an original printed by the surveyor at a scale of 1 inch equals 50 feet or 1 inch equals 100 feet. The county lists a $300 septic permit and a three-week processing estimate for a complete new application. Lot lines, house location, slope and usable soil area can therefore change both a builder's plan and a cash offer. [2]
Road access and slope can outweigh lot size
A road name on a map does not complete an access review. Sevier County's zoning resolution requires a building permit before construction and allows denial when setbacks or other zoning standards cannot be met. Meeting those standards can require additional site design even when the parcel is a common third-acre lot. We inspect the traveled access, apparent grade and room for a driveway before offering. Recorded easements and private maintenance duties also stay in the title review because county approval does not erase private restrictions. [3],[4],[1]
Recent lot sales are a benchmark, not a promise
The roll's 2025 data includes 16 arm's-length, single-parcel lot sales within the Sky Harbor subdivision-name scope. The median was $30,000, and the middle half ran from $26,800–$40,000. Those are recorded lot sales selected under the state-data rules, not a guarantee that every parcel has the same access, survey, soil approval or title position. The current appraised-value median is $30,000. A cash offer also accounts for inspection risk, closing costs and the work still needed to make one particular lot usable. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Sky Harbor in these situations
You inherited a lot with old paperwork
Yes. You can sell an inherited Sky Harbor lot even if the only paperwork you found is an old deed or tax notice. The subdivision plat and related restrictions belong in the county land records, while the current tax-roll parcel identifies the assessment account. We check access and title before offering. If the owner of record has died, the independent title company tells the heirs which estate, death or court documents are needed to convey the land. [4],[1]
The parcel has no recent septic approval
You can still sell a vacant parcel without a recent septic permit. A buyer who plans to build will need current site work, and Sevier County says Sky Harbor applications require a current original survey. The county's listed septic permit is $300, its inspection letter is $100, and issued permits expire after three years. We buy land that still needs utility and soil review, but those unresolved costs affect what we can pay. [2]
You live outside Tennessee
Yes. A remote owner can sell without traveling to Sevier County. 60% of owners in this subdivision-name scope have mailing addresses outside Tennessee. Documents can be signed electronically or through a mail-away closing, and the independent title company can pay by check or wire. Liens, back taxes or a verified association balance can be paid from sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent. [1],[4]

Questions
Selling land in Sky Harbor: common questions
Do I need a new survey before I sell my Sky Harbor lot?
No. Parcel Buyers can review the lot before you order a new survey. However, Sevier County requires a current original survey for a Sky Harbor septic application, at 1 inch equals 50 or 100 feet, so missing survey work may affect buildability and the offer.
Can I sell if my Sky Harbor lot has no septic permit?
Yes. We buy vacant land that has no current septic permit. Sevier County runs the local program and lists a $300 septic permit with a three-week processing estimate. We account for survey, soil and system uncertainty during inspection instead of requiring you to build first.
Who approves construction on a Sky Harbor lot?
The permit authority follows the parcel boundary. Sevier County handles zoning and building permits for unincorporated lots; its resolution requires a permit before construction. Confirm municipal limits before relying on the county path.
How do I check Sky Harbor dues or road charges?
Use the recorded covenants, deed and a current association payoff rather than a listing's old fee. Sevier County's subdivision rules place plats and related legal documents in county land records. The title company can check which obligations attach to your parcel before closing.
What if my lot is steep or hard to reach?
You can still request an offer. Steep grade, usable building area, road approach and recorded access can reduce what a builder can pay. We inspect access, utilities and title on every parcel, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing.

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.
- 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 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 Sevier County roll whose subdivision name is Sky Harbor. 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.
