Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 18, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Carlton J. Ditto, Chattanooga, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Charles Walker, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, REO Holdings, LLC, pro se successor in interest.

Attorneys 3: W. Thomas Bible, Jr., Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Cherilyn E. Bryant.

Attorneys 4: Harry R. Cash, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, Inc.

Judge(s): USMAN

Following lengthy proceedings arising out of a delinquent tax sale of real property and attempted redemptions by two parties, the chancery court concluded that the taxpayer properly redeemed her property. The court then awarded the tax sale purchaser interest on the amount he had tendered for the sale, to be paid in part by the redeeming taxpayer and in part by another party that had unsuccessfully attempted redemption. The purchaser appeals, arguing that the court should have awarded him greater interest. The party that unsuccessfully attempted redemption argues that the trial court improperly disbursed to the purchaser funds beyond those to which he was entitled. We affirm.
