What the Hamblen County GIS map shows about lot lines
Parcel boundaries on the Hamblen County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Tennessee is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in Hamblen County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. A survey is the only document that settles where a Hamblen County boundary actually runs.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Five steps for vacant land in Hamblen County:
- Follow the roads out of Russellville with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Click each empty tract near Whitesburg and note the owner, acreage and mailing address.
- Make sure the parcel near Morristown actually touches a public road, and ask how it's reached if it doesn't.
- Compare land values on similar Hamblen County tracts to see whether an asking price is in the ballpark.
- Before you sign for land near White Pine, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.
Before you buy near Morristown, read how to tell if land is buildable.
