What land sells for nearby

Hamblen County's recorded land sales of this parcel's size:

  • 10 acres or more: $7.1k–$15.1k an acre (12 sales, Oct 2025–Sep 2026); median $10.9k

The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of the price per acre in Hamblen County's recorded land sales of 10 acres or more, over the months shown. Which sales count: Hamblen County's recorded sales; the county publishes no arm's-length flag, so a sale counts only through a price screen: one parcel on a warranty deed, $1,000 or more, and not a token price against the county's appraisal. Recorded sales only: this range has not been tested against later sales, and it is not an estimate of this parcel's price.

Home values in Hamblen County rose about 71% over 5 years and 2% in the last year (FHFA, 2025).

Soil for septic and building

Soils here are rated somewhat limited for a septic drain field. They rate somewhat limited for a house with or without a basement. The main soil shrinks and swells moderately as it wets and dries, which foundations should allow for.

  • Septic drain fieldSomewhat limitedLimit: slow water movement
  • House, no basementSomewhat limitedLimit: shrink-swell
  • House with basementSomewhat limitedLimit: shrink-swell
  • Shrink-swellModerateLinear extensibility about 4.5% at 10 to 39 in. deep

A soil-survey screening of the parcel's main soil, not a perc test. A septic permit needs the local health department's site evaluation, and a foundation design needs a soil test on the lot.

Ground screening

Public geologic maps flag karst ground (where sinkholes can form) near this parcel. Screening, not a geotechnical survey.

Sources & methodWhere these lines come from

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS): Karst in the United States: a digital map compilation and database (Weary and Doctor, Open-File Report 2014-1156), as of Jul 2014. A national map compiled from state geologic maps at 1:24,000 to 1:500,000; USGS says it should not be used to draw site-specific boundaries. Left out: soluble rock the map shows buried under glacial or other deposits (any depth), units whose main rock is sand, clay, shale or another insoluble rock even where the map files them as carbonate or evaporite terrain, and sandstone, volcanic and piping pseudokarst; the page says nothing there.

Distances are from the parcel's map point. Screening, not a geotechnical survey. A soil or geotechnical engineer can say what the ground under a building site will do.

Comps and value

Rates: Tennessee Comptroller, tax year 2025 (the 2026 rates are not loaded yet). The estimate is the county's taxable value times those rates, before exemptions; it is not a bill. The county trustee's bill is the official figure.

Value history

This tracks home values, not land values. Land buyers read it as a sign of demand nearby: where homes gain value, builders and buyers follow. A vacant lot can move differently.

How: the change in FHFA's annual county index from 2020 and 2024 to 2025, rounded. The index follows repeat sales and refinance appraisals of the same single-family homes with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages. It is in today's dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and FHFA calls these local indexes developmental. Where FHFA's sample is too small it publishes no figure, and none prints here.

Can I build?

FEMA USA Structures (FEMA and Oak Ridge National Laboratory), release of Sep 2026, traced from satellite imagery of 2016-2025. Building outlines of about 450 sq ft and up traced from satellite imagery, counted where the outline's centre lies inside the parcel outline. A footprint is the building's outline seen from above, not its living area; the county file we load gives no building details (rooms, size or year built) for this parcel. Licence: CC BY 4.0.

Federal disaster declarations

Each federal declaration whose designated areas include the county, declared from January 2000 on, counted once by its FEMA disaster number. An emergency declaration and a major-disaster declaration for the same storm are two declarations, as FEMA numbers them. Declarations for tribal lands alone are not counted. The date shown is when the most recent incident began. Types are FEMA's incident types: an evacuation emergency for a storm elsewhere (Hurricane Katrina, 2005) is listed as that, not as a storm that struck the county. By kind: 5 major disasters and 5 emergencies.

Risks

Source: USDA NASS Cropland Data Layer, 2021–2025 (USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service; 30 m satellite classification; public domain).

How: we count the 30 m cells whose centres fall inside the parcel outline, class by class and year by year, and scale the counts to the outline's acres.

Cropland means CDL cultivated land: cells in a cultivated class in at least 2 of the 5 years, or in the latest year, the rule NASS uses for its Cultivated Layer. Fallow and idle cropland counts; hay other than alfalfa, pasture, grass and forest do not. Where a listing would say tillable acres, this figure means CDL cultivated land only: it is not a survey, a farm's reported acres or USDA FSA field (CLU) records, which are not public.

Limits: NASS puts the accuracy of the major crops at about 85 to 95%. Field edges, roads, farmsteads and small patches are often misclassed, so any parcel's figures can be off by a few acres. The rotation names the largest crop each year; a year counts as cropped with crops on at least 10% of the parcel or on 5 acres or more, and no rotation is named when cropland is under 10% of the parcel. Acres are shares of the parcel's acres on this page; where the parcel outline and those acres differ by more than 20%, this read is not shown.

Risks

Source: USDA NRCS soil survey (SSURGO), survey area TN063, version Aug 2026, read through NRCS Soil Data Access.

The parcel's main soil map unit covers about 50% of its outline: Dewey-Urban land-Udorthents complex, 2 to 12 percent slopes. Its main component is Dewey (55% of the unit).

The ratings are NRCS's own map-unit interpretations (dominant condition): ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields, ENG - Dwellings W/O Basements and ENG - Dwellings With Basements. The limits listed are the features NRCS names for the main component. Shrink-swell is that component's linear extensibility, depth-weighted from 25 to 100 cm, the layer NRCS's homesite rule reads; NRCS classes: low under 3%, moderate 3 to 6%, high 6 to 9%, very high 9% or more.

A screening, not a perc test or a soil boring: soils vary inside a map unit (survey scale about 1:12,000 to 1:24,000), and fill or grading may have changed the lot.

Risks

Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.

Risks

Insured buildings near this parcel, not the parcel itself. FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land that never had an insured building has no claims to count. The count is the parcel's census block group when it has 10 or more, else its tract's; a count under 10 prints as "Fewer than 10". Source: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3.

Nearby

Counted from USGS Annual NLCD land cover (USGS Annual NLCD Collection 1.2, 30 m maps made from Landsat imagery, 2015, 2020 and 2025; public domain, DOI 10.5066/P94UXNTS). A 30 m square counts when it was forest, shrub, grassland, pasture, cropland or wetland in the start year and developed in 2025: NLCD's developed classes, from lawns, parks and roads to dense buildings. The squares are summed over the land within about a mile of this parcel's center on a 240 m grid, so the figures are rounded. "Most of the county" compares the same one-mile figure across the county's land. A satellite land-cover map misses some changes and mislabels a few, so read it as a guide to how fast the area is building out, not a survey. As of 2025 land cover.

How each fact is measured

Nearest public wastewater plant: Not a sewer line at this lot.

Nearest fire station: USGS National Structures Dataset, fire and EMS stations, Oct 2026.

Nearest fire station: Straight line, not road miles. Insurers' fire protection class (ISO) counts road miles to a responding station, often 5 or fewer. A station missing from the federal list would be closer.

Nearest emergency room: CMS Care Compare hospital list (hospitals that report an emergency department), located by the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder, the USGS building or the county parcel record, Jul 2026.

Nearest emergency room: Straight line, not road miles or drive time. Names are the hospital's Medicare listing or its building name on the USGS map. Veterans', military, children's and psychiatric hospitals are not counted.

Nearest public schools: Straight line from the parcel's map point, not road miles. The nearest school is not necessarily the one a home here is zoned for. The school district sets attendance zones, so check with the district. Regular public schools only; charter, online and alternative schools are not counted.

Drinking water system: A record of the water system, not a test of the water at this lot.

Buildable acres: Slope, soils, setbacks and zoning are not netted out.

USDA home loan area: Household income limits also apply.

Public land nearby: Being nearby does not give access or hunting rights.

School district: A district, not an assigned school.

Crop productivity, whole parcel (NCCPI): A soil rating, not a yield.

Forest cover: Deciduous, evergreen and mixed forest classified from satellite imagery, not a timber cruise.

Timber site index: Soil ratings, not a timber cruise.

Cropland (CDL): Satellite-classified cultivated land over the parcel outline, not FSA field records.

Home electricity price: Your bill depends on your use and rate plan.

Water system area: Not a water line at the lot.

Tax value

Tax value from the county’s last revaluation, not a market price. County file, October 2026.

Appraised value (the county assessor's appraisal at its last reappraisal), not a market estimate. Tennessee taxes 25% of it for homes and farms and 40% for commercial and industrial property.
