Tennessee Land Contract Template

Updated June 18, 2022

A Tennessee land contract is an agreement in with which two parties transfer ownership of vacant land. The contract contains all terms and conditions regarding the sale, including the agreed-upon purchase price as well as the legal descriptors of the land/lot as evident on the deed. Both parties can negotiate until reaching a finalized accord, at which point they shall execute the contract and schedule a closing. The seller must sign over the property deed to the new owner at closing, and the parties can exchange any funds due at signing or broker a payment plan with installations.

Where to Record? (TN Code § 66-5-106) – All deeds are filed with the County Registers Office in the jurisdiction where the property is located.
