Wilson County tax sales & property search
The county's own sites for looking up a property, checking taxes, and finding upcoming tax sales:
- Property search: Wilson County Property Assessor
- Tax office: Wilson County Trustee
- Tax sales: Wilson County court auctions and delinquent tax sales
In Tennessee, unpaid property taxes are collected through a lawsuit in chancery court, and the court's clerk and master sells the property at a public auction — some counties now run these auctions online. The buyer gets title through a court order confirming the sale, not a tax certificate. For sales confirmed on or after July 1, 2026, the former owner can still redeem within one year if the taxes were three years or less delinquent, or within 90 days if they were more. Property that draws no other bid goes to the county, which can resell it later.
Many investors skip the auction and write to owners directly. Build a Wilson County owner list.
