How it works in Blount County
The local process, step by step
- Step 1
Leases run with the property
A sale does not terminate an existing lease in Tennessee; the buyer takes subject to it.
- Step 2
Deposits and notice
Security deposits transfer to the new owner and tenants are notified where to pay rent going forward.
- Step 3
Closing
Rents are prorated and deposits credited at closing, exactly like taxes.
Blount County offices involved
- Probate
- Probate runs through the Blount County Chancery Court at the courthouse in Maryville. Family land that has passed informally for two or three generations usually needs an estate opened before a clean deed can be signed. Tennessee has no statutory right of redemption after a foreclosure sale in most deeds, but tax-sale purchases carry a one-year redemption period. Probate in Tennessee typically runs 6-12 months; a house can be sold during probate with court approval or by the executor once appointed.
- Delinquent taxes
- Delinquent taxes are handled by the Blount County Trustee and then the Clerk & Master, who conducts the tax sale under Chancery Court. Redemption runs one year from the sale.
- Codes
- Alcoa handles property maintenance and codes cases inside the city limits; anything outside goes through Blount County codes administration.
- Permits
- Building permits for work inside Alcoa are issued by the city, with Blount County covering the unincorporated area around it.
Legal notes
- • In URLTA counties -- which include Tennessee's larger ones -- security deposit handling and notice rules are specific; the closing attorney will handle the transfer correctly.
- • Tenants generally must be given notice of the new owner and payment instructions.
Your options
- • Hire a property manager and keep holding
- • Empty the units, renovate, and list retail
- • Sell occupied, as-is, in one transaction
How we handle it
Selling to us in Alcoa
Keep the tenants in place -- we buy occupied and take over the leases. We buy single houses and small portfolios in one closing, and deposits and prorated rents are simply credited at the closing table.
- We buy occupied, so you do not have to end a tenancy, turn the unit, or lose months to vacancy.
- Deferred maintenance across a portfolio does not need to be caught up before closing.
- Security deposits and prorated rents are handled properly on the settlement statement.
- Single doors or small portfolios, and we can stagger closings if you are unwinding gradually.
Alcoa is a straight twenty-five minutes down Alcoa Highway, so walkthroughs happen fast.
