Questions
Who is the largest landowner in Tennessee?
On county property records, STATE OF TENNESSEE holds the most land in Tennessee: 278,444 acres across 2,205 parcels in 86 counties.
How much land do the largest landowners in Tennessee hold?
The 50 institutions on this list hold 1,045,124 acres between them. 16 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.
Why are no individuals on this list?
Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the assessor files of 95 Tennessee counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
