Title 67 - Taxes and Licenses
Chapter 5 - Property Taxes
Part 24 - Tax Lien -- Enforcement Generally
§ 67-5-2409. Consolidation of suits -- Amendment of suit.
Universal Citation: TN Code § 67-5-2409 (2017)
- (a) If any other suits for delinquent taxes are pending against any particular piece of property, such suits shall be consolidated as a matter of right upon the filing of a notice of consolidation on behalf of the complainant. All taxes for which any given piece of property is liable and for which suits are pending may be included in the final decree.
- (b) At any time after suit has been filed, whether delinquent tax defendants have or have not been served with a copy of such suit, the court may amend the suit by adding delinquent taxes that became delinquent more recently than the taxes being enforced pursuant to subsection (a). Once amended, all delinquent taxes, both delinquent prior to filing the complaint and added later by amendment, shall be included in the first bid submitted to purchase the property at the tax sale. Amendment of the suit to include more recent delinquent taxes owed shall not require the issuance of leading process and formal service upon the defendant or defendants, as all property owners are already on notice pursuant to this title 67 that taxes are due every year and become delinquent, if not paid by March 1 of the following year.
