Tax sales in Tennessee
Channel
Redeemable tax deed via Chancery Court / Clerk & Master delinquent tax sales
Sale schedule
Annual per county (dates vary; many spring/fall)
Redemption basics

Wholesaling rules in Tennessee — read before you market a deal
SB 909 (2025): written disclosure of intent to assign/sell equitable interest to the homeowner is mandatory.
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
Memphis/Shelby + Nashville/Davidson dominate; GovEase coverage makes TN v1-friendly.
