SB 727 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Real Property - As enacted, revises present law relative to advertising the sale of land to foreclose a deed of trust, mortgage, or other lien securing the payment of money or other thing of value or under judicial orders or process. - Amends TCA Title 35.

SB 727 amends Tennessee law to extend the required notice period for foreclosure sales of residential property from 10 to 12 business days before the sale. This change directly affects homeowners facing foreclosure and the entities (like banks or trustees) handling foreclosure sales, requiring them to advertise the sale for two additional business days. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 35-5-114(d) to specify the new 12-business-day notice period, without altering other foreclosure procedures or requirements. This is a procedural adjustment to notice timing, not a substantive change to foreclosure rights or processes.
