We are a licensed Tennessee BC-A contractor license #70201 holder and cash buyer based in Knoxville, TN, buying houses across Knox County in any condition.

Knox County process

What the county side of a sale looks like

Probate

Probate is handled by the Knox County Chancery Court, Probate Division, at the City-County Building at 400 Main Street downtown. An executor with letters testamentary can sign a sale contract once the court has appointed them. 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 property taxes are collected by the Knox County Trustee. Parcels that stay unpaid are turned over to the Clerk & Master and sold at tax sale through Chancery Court, and a tax-sale purchase carries a one-year redemption period.

Foreclosure notice

Tennessee foreclosures are non-judicial. Notice of a Knox County sale is published three times in a local paper and the sale can be held roughly 20 to 30 days after first publication, usually at the courthouse in downtown Knoxville.

Recording the deed

Deeds are recorded with the Knox County Register of Deeds at the City-County Building, and Tennessee transfer tax is paid at recording.
