Behind on property taxes? You still have options.

Falling behind on Rutherford County property taxes does not have to end with losing your home.

We work with Murfreesboro and Rutherford County homeowners who are behind on property taxes, who have received a delinquent tax notice, or whose property is headed toward — or has already been through — the county tax sale. We explain where you stand and what your options are, in plain English, and you decide what happens next.

There is no cost to talk with us, and no obligation. We explain your options first — you decide what happens next.

How It Works in Rutherford County

What happens when property taxes fall behind

When Rutherford County property taxes go unpaid, the county can file suit to collect them. If the taxes are still owed, the property can be sold at a public tax sale conducted through the court. Losing a home this way is usually the worst outcome for everyone — and in many cases it can still be avoided.

If a property has already been sold at a tax sale, Tennessee law generally gives the former owner a period of time after the sale is confirmed — usually one year — to redeem the property by paying what is owed. That window does close, so the exact deadline on your property matters.

Either way, the first step is the same: find out exactly what is owed on your property and what your deadline is. We can walk through that with you.

Who We Help

Homeowners in situations like these

  • Behind on Rutherford County property taxes
  • Received a delinquent tax or tax sale notice
  • Property already sold at tax sale, still inside the redemption window
  • Inherited a property with back taxes owed
  • Not sure what you owe or what your deadline is

Whatever the situation, we listen first. Life happens, and there is no judgment here — just a clear explanation of the choices in front of you.

Your Options

Three paths we can talk through with you

Every situation is different, and not every option fits every home. We explain all three, with the real numbers, and you choose — nothing happens without your say-so.

1. Stay in your home — leaseback

We can help clear the back taxes and set up a leaseback, so you stay in your home under a clear written agreement instead of losing it at a tax sale.

2. More time at home — temporary stay

If you expect to move within about a year but need time to plan it, we can look at a rental or temporary-stay arrangement — a planned move on your schedule, not a rushed one.

3. Sell the property directly

If staying is not the right fit, you can sell the property directly to us. The back taxes get paid off through closing, and you walk away with what is left instead of losing the property at auction.
