If the officer cannot find personal property to satisfy the distress warrant, the officer may levy the distress warrant upon any real estate in the officer's county belonging to the taxpayer. If levying on land, the distress warrant, together with the officers' return on the distress warrant, shall be returned to the circuit court of the county in which the land lies, and the land shall be condemned and sold under the orders of the circuit court in the same manner as in the case of the levy on land of an execution issued by a general sessions court.Acts 1941, ch. 36, § 3; C. Supp. 1950, § 1613.8 (Williams, § 1613.13); impl. am. Acts 1979, ch. 68, § 3; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 67-2204.
