State guide

How government auctions work in Tennessee

Redeemable deed state

Tennessee counties collect delinquent taxes through chancery court lawsuits, ending in a Clerk and Master sale that conveys a deed subject to a redemption period. Parcels the county buys in are later sold as county-owned surplus.

Redemption period
The redemption period is commonly up to one year, shortened to as little as 30 days for long-vacant or abandoned property; the buyer's deed is confirmed after it runs.
Interest or penalty
The redeeming owner pays the purchase price plus interest, commonly cited at 12% per year, plus any taxes the buyer paid.

Who sells in Tennessee

  • County Clerk and Master delinquent tax sales
  • County-owned tax-sale property programs (for example Washington County)
  • Tennessee Department of General Services state surplus
  • County sheriff and trustee foreclosure sales
  • Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions and TVA

How it works for a first-time buyer

The Clerk and Master publishes the sale with a parcel list and opening bids, holds it in person at the courthouse or online through the court's vendor, and requires payment by the deadline in the order confirming the sale. The court then enters a decree, and the buyer waits out the redemption period before recording a clear deed. Counties that bid in unsold parcels list them separately for public acquisition. Verify the years delinquent, since that determines the redemption length, and check for city taxes assessed separately.

Tennessee auction FAQ

Is Tennessee a tax lien or tax deed state?

Tennessee is a redeemable deed state. The court sells the property, but the owner may redeem for a period after the sale by paying the price plus interest.

How long is the redemption period in Tennessee?

Up to one year, but the court can shorten it to 180, 90 or 30 days based on how long the taxes were delinquent or whether the property is vacant.

Where does Tennessee sell surplus state vehicles?

The Department of General Services' surplus program sells state vehicles and equipment through public auctions and online listings, while counties sell their own fleets locally.
