Useful offices
Assessment, tax accounts, recorded deeds and court dockets are different records. Start with the office that matches the notice or question, and check the exact property address when the City or County’s jurisdiction matters.
Hamilton County · assessments and property records
Contact the Assessor for assessment, valuation and property-record questions. An assessment record is different from a current tax-balance statement or a recorded deed.

A Tennessee sale rule
Tennessee charges 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater. A $100,000 sale has $370 in state realty transfer tax. The buyer is legally responsible for this tax, and the county register of deeds collects it. Some transfers are exempt, including certain transfers between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor’s deed carrying out a will, and transfers into or out of a revocable living trust.
If you are comparing sale paperwork, ask the closing professional to show the amount and check whether an exemption applies to your transfer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee’s realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
