Tennessee surplus records · verified official sources
The local court file controls the docket, service, proof, and order; Davidson County's packet is an example, not a statewide form.
Court motion and case-specific service
Davidson County's current information sheet describes a signed motion, supporting documentation, service, Clerk and Master review, and a court order under T.C.A. § 67-5-2702.
Locate the delinquent-tax docket, sale report, confirmation or distribution order, and any excess-proceeds balance.
Run a free name check — no upfront fees. Or call (307) 323-4303.
Use the responsible court's current motion, proof, service, fee, and hearing instructions; do not import Davidson forms into another county.
Build from docket to order
The supported local example is court centered, so the file must be traced through the responsible Clerk and Master rather than a generic web form.
Confirm the county, court, case number, parcel, sale date, and report of sale.
Ask the Clerk and Master for the accounting, current balance, prior orders, and whether the court still holds the proceeds.
Prepare only the motion, documentation, service, fee, and hearing steps required by the responsible court and current law.
Treat payment as authorized only by the filed order and custodian record; submitting a motion does not guarantee a result.
Missing facts stay unresolved
Collect the state-specific records below and verify them against the current custodian.
Preserve the exact case style, number, division, and Clerk and Master contact.
Confirm the excess amount, deductions, custody, and any earlier distribution.
Organize deeds, lien releases, probate authority, assignments, or other records without deciding priority.
Download them from the responsible court at the time of filing; Davidson materials are county-specific.
