Useful local offices
Assessment, tax collection, deeds, and court records are different jobs. Start with the office that matches the document or question, and ask about the specific address or account.
Bradley County · assessed values and assessment records

A Tennessee sale-cost fact
Tennessee charges a state realty transfer tax of 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater. If both the price and value are $100,000, the tax is $370. State law places this tax on the buyer. Some transfers are exempt under state law, 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.
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.
