Tennessee Court of Appeals Finds Redeeming Taxpayer Owes No More Than One Years Interest

The Tennessee Court of Appeals held that, under then existing law, a property tax sale redeeming party was only required to pay interest within one year from entry of an order confirming the tax sale. The tax sale purchaser sought to recover statutory interest for two periods of time totaling over five years. The Court of Appeals ruled that under the then existing statute, the redeeming party was only required to pay interest within a year from the date of confirmation of the tax sale. [Hamilton Cty. v.
