If the condemner’s right to take is not questioned [59], the condemner may take possession of the property 30 days after the notice has been given. T.C.A. § 29-17-903. [60] If the property owner is satisfied with the amount of the deposit, he or she may withdraw that amount from the court by filing a sworn statement stating that he or she is the owner of the property or property interests described in the petition for condemnation and that he or she accepts the deposit in full settlement for the taking of the property and all damages occasioned to the remainder thereof. T.C.A. § 29-17-904. The court will then enter an order divesting the property owner of title and vesting it in the condemner. T.C.A. § 29-17-904. If the property owner is dissatisfied with the deposit, he or she may file an exception to the amount deposited by the condemner, and a trial before a petit jury may be held on the amount of just compensation due the property owner. T.C.A. § 29-17-905.
[59] If the right to take is challenged, the condemner has no right to possession until that issue is resolved. Shelby County v. Armour, 495 S.W.2d 816 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1975). See The Right to Take [1] for more information.

Notice (Supplementary Procedure)
As with the jury of view procedure, notice of the filing of the condemnation proceeding must be given to all defendants. T.C.A. § 29-17-903. This notice must be given at least 30 days before any additional steps are taken in the case by the condemner. T.C.A. § 29-17-903. The constitutional limitations on service by publication that were discussed under the jury of view procedure apply to the supplementary procedure. Service of the notice, accompanied by a copy of the petition for condemnation, can be accomplished in any manner authorized by the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.
MTAS-1282
Default (Supplementary Procedure)
If the property owner does not appear and accept the amount of the deposit or take exception to the amount of the deposit, the court can enter a default judgment against the property owner. The court will then hold a hearing upon the record and, in the absence of the property owner, determine the amount of just compensation to which the property owner is entitled. T.C.A. § 29-17-907.
MTAS-1283
Acceptance (Supplementary Procedure)
If the defendant is satisfied with the amount of the damages, he or she may file a sworn statement verifying that he or she is the owner of the property or property rights being condemned and that he or she accepts the deposit as a full settlement for the taking of the property and any incidental damages to the remainder of the property of the defendant. T.C.A. § 29-17-904. The court will thereafter enter a final judgment divesting the property owner of title and vesting title in the condemner. T.C.A. § 29-17-904. If the condemner identifies the amount of the deposit that should be allocated to the various defendants, a defendant may accept that amount in full settlement of his or her interest. [64]

MTAS-1284
If the property owner files an exception or answer to the amount deposited by the condemner, a trial may be held before the petit jury as in other civil cases. T.C.A. §§ 29-17-905 and 29-17-105. To obtain such a jury trial, the property owner should make a demand for a jury under Rule 38.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, or file a motion for a jury trial under Rule 39.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. [65] The trial will be limited to determining the amount of compensation to be paid to the defendant for the property or property rights taken. When adverse claims by multiple defendants are made for compensation, the court and jury must also resolve those claims. T.C.A. § 29-17-908.
