How foreclosure and tax sales work in Tennessee

General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.

Tennessee mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by a trustee.

Tennessee generally sells a deed to tax-delinquent property through the county chancery or circuit court clerk, but the former owner can still redeem it for a set period after the sale.
