Pickwick Lake sits about two to two and a half hours southeast of Memphis, a TVA Tennessee River reservoir where Hardin County, Tennessee, Tishomingo County, Mississippi, and Colbert County, Alabama meet. The pin is Counce and Pickwick Landing State Park. Counce is unincorporated. It has no city hall. Hardin County Clerk Kathy Smith answers at from 65 Court Street, Suite 1, Savannah. Tishomingo County Chancery Clerk Peyton Cummings answers at from 1008 Battleground Drive, Iuka. Colbert County Probate answers at from 201 North Main Street, Tuscumbia.

The published year stays on this cell. Counce is $18,613 on one hundred cards, ADR $254, occupancy 31.9 percent, RevPAR $78, vintage August 2025 through July 2026. Peak months are March, May, and August. January is the hole. Iuka $14,650 is eighty-four cards. Florence $18,962 is a Quad Cities desk. Do not average those desks. The 2018 Short-Term Rental Unit Act is statewide in Tennessee. It does not cover Mississippi or Alabama. Tax remittance still exists on the Hardin shore.

This page is the call sheet. Pick the clerk the driveway actually has, bring the parcel, and confirm 2026 before you advertise a stay.The three-state rules fileis the ordinance companion.The finance fileis where $18,613 belongs. This file is only the hall, the phone, and what to carry through the door. A launch itinerary can wait until the counter has a name and a 2026 answer.

Pick the Clerk the Driveway Actually Has

The first question is not which launch the guest will book. The first question is which desk holds the driveway. Hardin County, Tishomingo County, and Colbert County are three desks on one reservoir. Memphis is a fourth desk two hours up the road. A listing that says lake house near Memphis has not named a clerk. A listing that says Tennessee when the tax map says Mississippi has named the wrong one. Pull the parcel before you pull the photography. Confirm the 911 address against county GIS before you dial. A shared launch does not move the parcel. The lake is not a jurisdiction.

The drive from Memphis does not assign the hall. Pickwick Landing sits at 116 State Park Lane, Counce. The Hardin clerk sits in Savannah. The Tishomingo clerk sits in Iuka. The Colbert probate desk sits in Tuscumbia. Guests can launch on more than one shore in a day. The clerk cannot.The three shoreskeep the cells apart on the tile. The call sheet keeps them apart on the phone. Florence is a Quad Cities desk. It does not inherit this Hardin line.

If the address is ambiguous, stop advertising. Call the county that matches the tax map and ask which desk owns the parcel in 2026. Do not ask Hardin to speak for Tishomingo. Do not ask Tishomingo to bless a Colbert driveway. Do not ask a Memphis metro desk to bless a Counce use. The pin is modest. The hall is specific. Unincorporated Counce does not make the map optional. Read the map, then dial the phone that matches it. A bass itinerary is not a tax map.

Counce Has No City Hall

Counce is unincorporated. There is no Counce city hall, no Counce city clerk, and no Counce short-term license shop to invent. Do not write a city permit path because a listing platform asked for a city name. Do not invent a hall so the packet looks finished. A missing hall is a fact, not a hole you fill with Savannah stationery. City of Savannah hall at 140 Main Street, main, is the county-seat city, not the lake pin. Label it. Do not file Savannah city paper on a Counce driveway you have not confirmed.

The published year is still $18,613 on one hundred cards. That year does not create a city.The market extractalready records the cell. The clerk file records the missing hall. Savannah is the Hardin county seat, inland and upriver. Iuka is the Tishomingo county seat. Tuscumbia is the Colbert seat. Memphis is the drive market, not this city. Unincorporated travels with the missing hall. A platform city field is not a hall.

If a broker packet lists a Counce city license fee, send the packet back. No dedicated Hardin County short-term permit was confirmed this pass. Flag that unknown. Even without a confirmed permit line, there is no Counce city to collect one. Confirm remittance at the county clerk. Confirm whether the driveway sits inside Savannah or on unincorporated Hardin land. A park Saturday does not rewrite the town line. One hundred percent of cards on this extract are entire homes. That filter is not a city license, and no hall will mint one because a guest wants a Friday key.

Hardin County Clerk Is Seven Three One Nine Two Five Three Nine Two One

Hardin County Clerk Kathy Smith sits at 65 Court Street, Suite 1, Savannah, TN 38372. This is the Tennessee shore desk, not a Counce city hall and not a Memphis clerk. Hotel and motel occupancy privilege tax and county business licenses live here. That line matters for which packet you carry and which remittance path you confirm. The 2018 Short-Term Rental Unit Act is statewide in Tennessee. Do not invent a Counce permit fee. Do not rebuild the Nashville or Memphis statute posts onto this counter.

There is a published Counce year. It is $18,613 on one hundred cards. Do not quote Iuka $14,650 as this hall's year. Do not quote Florence $18,962. Do not quote Muscle Shoals $31,093. Pickwick Landing is a park hook. It is not a license.Startup costskeep the hall path first. The clerk file records the Hardin phone. A lodge address is not a Counce parcel.

Ask the hall whether the parcel sits in unincorporated Hardin County or inside Savannah, what remittance path 2026 still requires, and whether any non-STR building or occupancy paper still applies. Bring the parcel, the site plan if you have it, and the platform URL you intend to run. Leave a Memphis overlay out of the zoning question. This hall answers for Hardin County. Confirm remittance separately. Tax is not banned. A launch Saturday does not rewrite the county line. If the tax map says Tishomingo or Colbert, hang up and call that shore. Hardin does not cover the whole reservoir because the lake has three states.

Tishomingo Chancery Is Six Six Two Four Two Three Seven Zero One Zero

Tishomingo County Chancery Clerk Peyton Cummings sits at 1008 Battleground Drive, Iuka, MS 38852. This is the Mississippi shore desk, not the Hardin desk and not a Counce city hall. For an Iuka or Tishomingo shoreline driveway, this is the parcel clerk. No dedicated Tishomingo short-term ordinance was confirmed this pass. Flag that unknown. Direct the host to the chancery clerk and county planning before treating the Mississippi shore as interchangeable with Counce. Recording, tax questions, and parcel identity still live at this counter.

The county seat is Iuka. The county is not a spare Hardin clerk. Do not carry Tennessee short-term paper into 1008 Battleground Drive. Do not carry a Counce packet and hope the 2018 Act will cover a Mississippi driveway.The buyer packetalready warns that three halls travel with the deed. This section keeps the chancery phone in view. Iuka city hall at 118 South Front Street, main, clerk Kelsey Smith, is the incorporated city on that shore. It is not Counce.

Ask whether the parcel is inside Iuka or unincorporated Tishomingo land, what 2026 remittance looks like, and which other county desk, if any, still touches a lodging stay. Bring the parcel inside this county, not a Hardin card you hope Mississippi will cover. If the driveway is Hardin, hang up and call Savannah. If the driveway is Colbert, that is a third desk. The two towns do not share this chancery line. Remittance is still not occupancy, and occupancy is still not the clerk. Iuka $14,650 stays on eighty-four cards. The water does not move the year.

Colbert Probate Is Two Five Six Three One Four Five Eight Two Two

Colbert County Probate sits at 201 North Main Street, Tuscumbia, AL 35674. The probate court phone is. Privilege and business license on that shore answers at. This is the Alabama shore desk, not Hardin and not Tishomingo. For a Colbert shoreline driveway, start here. No dedicated Colbert short-term ordinance was confirmed this pass. Flag that unknown. Do not invent an Alabama cap, a TOT rate, or an HOA stack. Privilege and business license is a real county desk. Ask it.

The county seat is Tuscumbia. Florence $18,962 is a Quad Cities desk,. Muscle Shoals $31,093 is a studio desk,. Label those cells. They are not this county and they are not a Counce year. Do not carry Tennessee 2018 Act paper into 201 North Main Street. Do not carry an Iuka packet and hope Mississippi will cover Alabama.The rules filealready says the three states do not flatten. This section keeps the probate phone in view. Lauderdale County is an adjacent western shore. Waterloo is a 404 on this scrape.

Ask whether the parcel is in Colbert, what 2026 privilege or business license still requires, and which other county desk, if any, still touches a lodging stay. Bring the Colbert parcel, not a Hardin card you hope Tuscumbia will cover. If the driveway is Hardin, hang up and call. If the driveway is Tishomingo, call. The three desks do not cover for one another because the guest launched on the same water. Remittance is still not occupancy. Occupancy is still not the probate counter.

The 2018 Act Does Not Cover Mississippi or Alabama

Tennessee's 2018 Short-Term Rental Unit Act is statewide in Tennessee. On the Hardin shore it is the live frame. Cross-link the Nashville and Memphis statute posts already live. Do not rebuild them here. The Act does not cover Mississippi. It does not cover Alabama. A Counce driveway does not export Tennessee session law across the state line because the reservoir is one body of water. Treat the Mississippi shore as a different desk. Treat the Alabama shore as a third desk. Do not flatten three states into one year.

AirROI Low on the Counce scrape is not the session law. The vendor label said low regulation. The live Tennessee text is the 2018 Act. Tax remittance is not banned on the Hardin shore. Hardin County clerk collects hotel and motel occupancy privilege taxes. Confirm remittance at the desk that matches the driveway.The rules fileis where the three-state stack sits in this cluster. This clerk page only refuses to turn a Tennessee statute into a Mississippi or Alabama form you can invent.

Ask the Hardin hall how they read remittance in 2026. Do not ask them to speak for Iuka. Do not ask them to speak for Tuscumbia. If a broker packet rebuilds the 2018 Act as a lake-wide license, send the packet back. The three phones still matter because parcel identity and tax still matter. A statewide Tennessee bar on a local ban is not a three-state bar on a clerk. Call the desk the tax map names. Write the date. Keep the statute on the Tennessee statute, not on a form you invented for the whole shoreline.

Confirm the Parcel Before You Advertise

Parcel is the first line. Confirm whether the driveway sits in Hardin County, Tishomingo County, or Colbert County. Confirm that it is not a Memphis card and not a Quad Cities card you have not mapped. Pull the tax bill. Pull the GIS pin. If those two disagree, stop advertising until the courthouse says which county holds the land. A tile that names the wrong state teaches the guest the wrong overnight. A tile that names Memphis as the pin teaches the guest the wrong region. Memphis is the two-hour drive, not this driveway. The 2018 Act does not travel with a wrong pin.

AirROI neighbors mash Savannah, Iuka, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Corinth, and Killen into this map. Label those desks. They are not Counce. Waterloo, Pickwick Dam as a town, Crump, Adamsville, Shiloh, and Cherokee are 404s or adjacent desks on this scrape. Do not invent a year for them.The marketing fileis where dock language belongs after the parcel is right.The tourism fileis where visitor acres stay off the host year.

Confirm parcel, then confirm the hall, then write the stay. Do not advertise a Tennessee 2018 Act path on a Tishomingo driveway. Do not advertise a Counce year on a Florence card. The three phones exist because the three desks do not cover for a metro. A live tile that already named the wrong state should come down until the hall and the remittance path match the driveway. Copy is cheaper to fix than a tax desk you advertised in public. A Memphis mash on the tile is not a parcel.

What to Bring to the Desk

Bring the parcel number, the street address, the county, the state, and a simple statement of use: entire home or not, nights you intend to advertise, and whether you already have a live tile. Bring the platform URL if it exists. Bring proof of ownership or authorization. Bring a floor plan only if the hall asks. Do not bring a blended Iuka T12. Do not bring TVA acres or park attendance as zoning evidence. Do not bring a Memphis license story.

For Hardin County Clerk at, ask whether the parcel is unincorporated or inside Savannah and what remittance 2026 still requires. For Tishomingo Chancery at, ask the same questions on Mississippi land and on recording. For Colbert Probate at, ask privilege and business license, not for an ordinance this pass did not confirm. Confirm every answer as 2026.The DIY filecan wait until the hall has spoken. Copy is cheaper to rewrite than a listing that never had a clerk.

Leave with a name, a date, and the next form. If the Hardin hall says no dedicated short-term permit was on the desk, write that down and still confirm remittance. If the hall says confirm in writing, wait for the writing. The modest lake overnight starts at the counter, not at the launch. Write the answer into the listing packet the same day. If two counties both claim the parcel, stop and get the tax map in writing before either tile or note moves.The visitor guidecan name the drive after the clerk has a name.
