SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS should consult legal
counsel, regarding their rights with respect to a redemption, as there
has been a change in the law pertaining to the redemption period.
Only certain parts of the law are set
out below; and, the Clerk & Master’s Office cannot give legal advice. Pursuant to T.C.A. 67-5-2701:
(a)(1) Upon entry of an order confirming a sale of a parcel,
a right to redeem shall vest in all interested persons. The right to
redeem shall be exercised within the time period established by this
subsection (a) beginning on the date of the entry of the order
confirming the sale, but in no event shall the right to redeem be
exercised more than one (1) year from that date. The redemption period
of each parcel shall be stated in the order confirming the sale based on
the following criteria: (A) Unless
the court finds sufficient evidence to order a reduced redemption period
pursuant to this section, the redemption period for each parcel shall be
one (1) year; (B) The
redemption period shall be determined for each parcel based on the
period of delinquency. Once the period of delinquency is established,
the redemption period shall be set on the following scale: (i) If the
period of delinquency is five (5) years or less, the redemption period
shall be one (1) year from the entry of the order confirming the sale; (ii) If the
period of delinquency is more than five (5) years but less than eight
(8) years, the redemption period shall be one hundred eighty (180) days
from the entry of the order confirming the sale; or (iii) If
the period of delinquency is eight (8) years or more, the redemption
period shall be ninety (90) days from the entry of the order confirming
the sale; and (C) For all
property for which a showing is made pursuant to subdivision (a)(2), the
redemption period shall be thirty (30) days from the entry of the order
confirming the sale without regard to the number of years of delinquent
taxes owed on the property, beyond that required to make the property
legally eligible for the sale. (2) A
reasonable basis to believe that real property is vacant, or, in the
case of vacant land, a reasonable basis to believe that the property is
abandoned, shall, at a minimum, be based upon periodic inspections of
the property over a two-month period at different times of the day where
three (3) or more inspections reveal evidence of abandonment.
T. C. A. § 67-5-2701(b):
In order to redeem a parcel, the person
entitled to redeem shall file a motion to such effect in the proceedings
in which the parcel was sold. … Prior to the filing of the motion to
redeem, the movant shall pay to the clerk of the court an amount equal
to the total amount of delinquent taxes, penalty, interest, court costs,
and interest on the entire purchase price paid by the purchaser of the
parcel. The interest shall be at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, which
shall begin to accrue on the date the purchaser pays the purchase price
to the clerk and continuing until the motion to redeem is filed. If
the entire amount owing is not timely paid to the clerk or if the motion
to redeem is not timely filed, the redemption shall fail. {2014 Pub.
Act, c. 883, eff. July 1, 2014}
