Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases

Parcels struck to the county at the tax sale can be bought from the county afterward. Each county mayor must publish a list of county-held parcels by July 1 every year, and any person may file a written offer for one. The county advertises the offer, competing bidders have ten days to raise it by 10 percent or more, and the highest offer wins, sometimes through an online resale. A parcel bought before the redemption period expires stays subject to redemption. Ask the county mayor's office or the clerk and master where the current list is posted.

County-held parcel listings are published per county under Tenn. Code Ann. 67-5-2511; find the current list on the county's website or newspaper of record

County notes

  • The Clerk & Master's office page confirms the office handles "Suits for collection of delinquent property taxes after two years." Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fax is 931-363-2106 and the clerk's email is [email protected].
  • Giles County does not maintain a standing tax sale page. A site-wide search of gilescountytn.gov returns exactly one delinquent tax sale item, a news post dated October 16, 2024 that carries only the line "For details please visit this link." The parcel list and sale terms reach the public through the Chancery Court's published legal notice instead.
  • The list URL cited here is a weekly public-notice page, so it captures one specific sale cycle rather than a permanent list. Expect a new notice each February for a sale later that March.
  • Tony Risner is the Giles County Trustee and is named as a party to the delinquent tax suit. The Trustee's office (931-363-1676, 1 Public Square, Pulaski, TN 38478, [email protected]) collects current taxes and publishes nothing about the tax sale itself.
  • Purchasers take a redeemable deed. The notice restates the statutory position without quantifying it: the sale is made "subject to the right of redemption as provided by law." Tennessee's redemption period and 12 percent per annum interest come from Tenn. Code Ann. 67-5-2701 and run from entry of the order confirming the sale, not from the auction date.
  • GovEase publishes no public county calendar; its auctions page is a marketing landing page and the bidder portal sits behind a login at liveauctions.govease.com. Confirm the current sale date from the February court notice or by calling the Clerk & Master.

Tennessee rules

Redemption
The right to redeem vests when the court enters the order confirming the sale and never runs longer than one year from that date. The court sets each parcel's period before the sale on a statutory scale: one year when the taxes were delinquent 5 years or less, 180 days when delinquent more than 5 but less than 8 years, 90 days when delinquent 8 years or more, and 30 days when the court finds the property vacant and abandoned. To redeem, an interested person files a motion in the same lawsuit and must first pay the clerk the full redemption amount; the purchaser then has 30 days after notice to ask the court for additional reimbursements. When the court declares the redemption complete, title divests from the purchaser and the clerk refunds the purchase money plus everything owed. During the redemption period the purchaser owes no duty to insure the parcel and is not liable for damage to it except from the purchaser's own intentional acts. Separately, a suit attacking the validity of the sale itself must normally be filed within one year of the confirmation order, with an absolute three-year outer limit.
Deed deposit
No statewide deposit percentage exists. The statute fixes the form of payment (cash, certified funds, cashier's check, money order, or ACH transfer) and each court sets its own payment terms. Davidson County takes cashier's checks only, Rutherford County requires payment by close of business the day after the sale, and counties selling through GovEase collect payment through the platform. Confirm the terms with the clerk and master that runs the sale before bidding.
Surplus proceeds
Sale proceeds pay the delinquent tax attorney, then court costs, then the taxing entities. Any excess is claimed by motion in the same case: remaining taxes are paid first, then lienholders in order of priority (pre-sale liens before post-sale liens), then the former owner. Filing the motion ends any remaining redemption period as to the movant. Excess proceeds nobody claims pass to the state under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.
Governing statute
Tenn. Code Ann. Title 67, Chapter 5, Parts 25-27

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
