Chattanooga Posts Surplus of 1517 Old Ringgold Rd on Sept. 15
Chattanooga’s revised Sept. 15 Council agenda includes a District 9 resolution to surplus 1517 Old Ringgold Road, Tax Map 156F-C-016, as recommended by MR-2026-0101 on Aug. 10, 2026.
Chattanooga City Council’s revised Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026 agenda includes a District 9 resolution declaring the surplus of property at 1517 Old Ringgold Road, further identified as Tax Map No. 156F-C-016, as recommended by Resolution MR-2026-0101 on August 10, 2026.
Surplus is the paperwork hinge between city ownership and a future private buyer. For homeowners along Old Ringgold Road and the wider East Brainerd approach corridors, the question is not the resolution title — it is what use lands after disposal.
What the Sept. 15 agenda says
Under Resolutions, the revised Council agenda lists a resolution declaring the surplus of property located at 1517 Old Ringgold Road, further identified as Tax Map No. 156F-C-016, as recommended by Resolution MR-2026-0101, in substantially the form attached, on August 10, 2026 (District 9).

Surplus vs rezoning — do not mix the files
Sept. 15 also carries rezoning ordinances on other corridors. Those are zoning map amendments. Old Ringgold is a surplus declaration on a specific tax parcel. Mixing them in a listing conversation creates false comps.
If your buyer asks whether the city is selling land nearby, answer with 1517 Old Ringgold Road / 156F-C-016 and the MR-2026-0101 recommendation date — not with a rezoning case number from a different corridor.
What neighbors should underwrite next
After surplus, watch for sale method, any deed restrictions, and whether the parcel is marketed for residential or nonresidential reuse. Until those documents post, do not invent a unit count or a retail concept.

What surplus property is on Chattanooga’s Sept. 15 agenda?
A resolution declaring the surplus of property located at 1517 Old Ringgold Road, further identified as Tax Map No. 156F-C-016, as recommended by Resolution MR-2026-0101 on August 10, 2026, in District 9.
What does surplus mean for neighbors?
Surplus is the city’s formal step toward disposing of publicly held land. The next documents — appraisal, sale method, deed restrictions — decide whether the parcel returns as housing, commercial, or open land.
Is this the same as the Sept. 15 four-rezones hearing?
No. The Old Ringgold surplus is a separate District 9 resolution on the Sept. 15 revised agenda, not the Hixson Pike / Dayton Blvd / Mountain Creek / Champion Road rezoning petitions.
When was the mandatory referral recommendation dated?
The agenda text states the surplus is as recommended by Resolution MR-2026-0101, in substantially the form attached, on August 10, 2026.
What should Old Ringgold corridor sellers do?
Watch for the disposition method and any deed conditions after surplus. Get a fresh valuation if a city sale next door could change your comps set.
Homeowners who need to sell before they buy should treat local government calendars as part of the underwriting file. Bring the exact case number, tax map, or action-form number to staff, then decide whether list price, inspection length, or possession date needs to move. A free home valuation and a cash-offer conversation are tools for that decision — not substitutes for reading the primary packet yourself.
Buyers should put utility, zoning, and transportation contingencies in writing when a live file sits next door. Sellers should disclose what is known, attach the agenda link, and avoid predicting a vote that has not been recorded. That discipline keeps East Tennessee closings on schedule when Council or Board calendars slip a week.
