Dennis Wilson v. Blount County, Tennessee; Darrell McEachron; and Danny K. Carrigan

In this action against the County, which sold plaintiff’s properties at a back tax sale, plaintiff charges sheriff failed to comply with process statutes before returning the process “not to be found” and county improperly relied on publication to give notice to plaintiff. The Trial Court held sheriff exercised due diligence and constructive notice was proper. On appeal, we reverse.
