DeKalb County, TN — Out-of-State Vacant Land Owners

Description

Center Hill Lake's plats and the surrounding hill country hold vacant parcels whose owners live out of state. This list pulls every unimproved parcel with an out-of-state mailing address from the Tennessee Comptroller's monthly parcel export. Nashville's eastward growth keeps the exit market improving.

Best use case

Direct mail into lake plats with a strengthening retail market behind the offers.

Included fields

• Owner name
• Mailing address
• City/State/ZIP
• County
• Parcel ID
• Acreage
• Land use code
• Situs address

Exclusions

Every record is unimproved land under the Comptroller's land-use model criteria (no buildings or mobile homes, improvement value under $2,000). Deduplicated to one record per owner name and mailing address — owners holding multiple parcels appear once, so the count reflects mailable owners rather than raw parcels.

Caveats

Lake-adjacent parcels can sit below US Army Corps flowage easements — confirm the easement line before assuming buildability.

Due diligence notes

Verify ownership, back taxes, legal and physical access, flood status, POA dues and assessments, and zoning independently before mailing offers or contracting.
