Helpful Tennessee rule
Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when a deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater; a $100,000 sale owes $370. The buyer pays the tax by law, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. It is a state tax, not a separate city tax.
Some transfers are exempt, including certain transfers between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor’s deed carrying out a will, and some transfers into or out of a revocable living trust. Ask the Register of Deeds for the county tied to the property about recording requirements, and have your closing professional confirm whether the tax or an exemption applies to your transaction.
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.

Morristown’s city boundary intersects Hamblen and Jefferson Counties, so the market label alone does not identify the county or whether an address is inside city limits. Use the City GIS Department’s “Am I in City Limits?” lookup, then confirm the county and account with the appropriate property office.
For an assessed value or parcel record, contact the assessor in the county that holds the property record. Hamblen County says its Assessor prepares both County and Morristown City rolls. For county property-tax collection, contact the relevant County Trustee; for a Morristown city tax account, contact the City Tax Office. Ask about the specific address and account.
Use the Register of Deeds for the county where the property record is held to ask about a recorded deed. A court judgment is a different record: start with the court named on the judgment or notice. The county directory and Chancery Court links above provide local contact routes, but they do not identify the right court for every case. A title professional can explain how a record relates to a particular property.
Tennessee charges 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater, when the deed is recorded. A $100,000 sale owes $370. The buyer pays the tax by law, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. Ask the applicable Register of Deeds about recording requirements and a closing professional about the taxable value or any exemption.
