Bill overview
This bill changes Tennessee law to allow counties to sell real property they no longer need more quickly and efficiently. Counties can now sell surplus, obsolete, or unusable land to a third party without holding a public auction or sealed bid process. The sale price must meet or exceed the property’s fair market value, as determined by at least two licensed Tennessee appraisers, and requires approval from the county legislative body. This streamlines the process for counties to dispose of unwanted property.
