How it works in Blount County
The local process, step by step
- Step 1
Identify the parcel
We pull the assessor record, the deed, and the plat to confirm exactly what you own.
- Step 2
Confirm the basics
Access, zoning, utilities, and taxes -- those four answers set the value on a small lot.
- Step 3
Close
Attorney closing, recorded deed, funds wired. Typically two weeks or less.
Blount County offices involved
- Deeds and plats
- Blount County deeds, plats, and old family land divisions are recorded with the Blount County Register of Deeds in Maryville, where many chains still trace back to farm splits done without surveys.
- Planning and zoning
- Blount County Planning handles zoning and subdivision outside the cities; Maryville and Alcoa administer their own ordinances inside their limits.
- Septic and soils
- Septic permitting and soil evaluations for Blount County parcels run through the county environmental health office under state rules, and rock close to the surface is a recurring issue toward the foothills.
- 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.
- 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.
Legal notes
- • Very small lots may not meet local minimum lot size or setback rules, which affects value.
- • Adjoining owners are sometimes the best buyers for a remnant, and we will tell you when that is true.
- • This is general information, not legal advice.
Your options
- • Keep paying the taxes
- • Offer it to the neighbor
- • Try a land listing site
- • Sell for cash and stop the bleeding
