Tennessee Live Bidding and Reports
This article only applies to Tennessee live bidding. Other states may have a different type of live bidding. Bidding increments may vary from county to county. The Live Bidding page will be available when the live bidding begins for that specific county/city. For upcoming auction times and dates, please check out the following link: Upcoming Auctions. Also, live bidding will continue until all parcels are auctioned off. This typically excludes weekends and holidays.
*It is important to note that the bidding clock time and the bid increments are set by the county. To see a list of bidding clock times and minimum bid increments per county, please review the Registration page and the Rules of the Auction page. Please do not wait until the last second to bid.*
