Tennessee Chancery Court Procedure (T.C.A. § 67-5-2501 et seq.)
Under Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.) § 67-5-2501, delinquent property tax sales are judicial proceedings prosecuted in the Chancery or Circuit Court. When the confirmed high bid exceeds all taxes, penalty, interest, attorney fees, and court costs, the excess funds are retained in the Clerk and Master's registry.
Clerk & Master Motion Process
Interested parties or their legal counsel must file a formal Motion for Distribution of Excess Sale Proceeds in the Chancery Court case docket. Notice must be served on all recorded parties of interest before a hearing is set.
Statutory Priority Waterfall
Proceeds are distributed strictly by priority: first to recorded mortgagees and superior judgment creditors, and second to the record owner or legitimate estate heirs at the time of the tax sale confirmation.
