In 1741 Tadamochi was appointed a sōshaban and jisha-bugyō simultaneously, and later the same year, he became Osaka-jō dai. In 1747 his courtesy title was changed to Sanuki-no-kami and his court rank was increased from Lower 5th, Junior grade to Lower 4th, Junior grade. From 1752 to 1756 he was appointed the 21st Kyoto Shoshidai, and he added the title of Jijū to his honorifics.
