Sell Land With a Boundary or Survey Dispute in Luttrell, TN
We buy Union County parcels with the kind of history that stops a retail buyer cold. Deeds, plats, and easements are recorded with the Union County Register of Deeds. Luttrell is a small Union County town where Tazewell Pike meets Highway 61, north of Knoxville and a short drive from Norris Lake. The land end of that market is Highway 61, Luttrell and Tazewell Pike and the acreage past the Union County line. We pay for the survey, the title work and the recording, and you sign wherever you live.

How it works in Union County
The local process, step by step
- Step 1
Records and surveys
Deeds, plats, and prior surveys are compared. Recorded plats generally carry more weight than a memory of where the fence used to run.
- Step 2
Occupation on the ground
Long-standing fences and use can matter. Tennessee recognizes adverse possession and boundary by acquiescence in defined circumstances.
- Step 3
Agreement or suit
Neighbors can sign and record a boundary line agreement, or a court can establish the line in a boundary dispute action.
Union County offices involved
- Deeds and plats
- Deeds, plats, and easements are recorded with the Union County Register of Deeds.
- Planning and zoning
- Union County planning and zoning governs lot size, setbacks, and subdivision outside the city limits.
- Septic and soils
- Soil evaluations and septic permits for Union County parcels run through the local environmental health office under state rules.
- Delinquent taxes
- The Union County Trustee in Maynardville collects taxes, and delinquent parcels go to a court-confirmed tax sale with a one-year redemption period.
- Probate
- Probate is handled by the Union County Chancery Court in Maynardville. This is a rural county north of Knoxville along Norris Lake, and files here often involve acreage that has never been surveyed. 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
- • Tennessee adverse possession periods vary depending on whether the possessor holds under color of title and whether taxes were paid.
- • A recorded boundary line agreement is usually far cheaper than litigation.
- • Surveyors are not lawyers -- a survey shows a line, it does not adjudicate ownership.
- • This is general information, not legal advice.
Your options
- • Order a new survey and negotiate directly with the neighbor
- • Sign and record a boundary line agreement
- • File a boundary dispute action
- • Sell for cash and let us take on the line and the neighbor
