Sell a Hoarder House or Uninhabitable Property in Maryville, TN
We are a licensed contractor first, so hoarder house in Maryville reads to us as a scope of work rather than a reason to walk. Building permits for work inside Maryville are issued by the city, with Blount County covering the unincorporated area around it. Around Maryville we see it most in Greenback Road, Montvale and Eagleton Village, out toward the Blount County Courthouse. Maryville is the Blount County seat, with the courthouse, Maryville College, and Greenbelt Park all within walking distance of downtown. Because our own crews do the repairs afterward, we can price a Maryville house that other cash buyers pass on.

How it works in Blount County
The local process, step by step
- Step 1
Habitability and code
Accumulation cases often draw code enforcement attention, and repeated citations can escalate to fines or condemnation.
- Step 2
Access and assessment
A cash buyer needs enough access to judge the structure, but not a staged or cleaned house.
- Step 3
Clean-out after closing
Contents are removed by the buyer after funding, so the seller never has to face the job.
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
- Maryville handles property maintenance and codes cases inside the city limits; anything outside goes through Blount County codes administration.
- Permits
- Building permits for work inside Maryville are issued by the city, with Blount County covering the unincorporated area around it.
Legal notes
- • Personal documents and valuables should be retrieved before closing -- once it is ours, contents are disposed of.
- • Code cases attached to the property transfer with it, so tell us about any citations.
Your options
- • Pay for a professional clean-out and then list
- • Sell to a wholesaler and take a lower net
- • Sell directly, contents included, with clean-out handled by the buyer
