About Property Taxes in Tennessee

Tennessee property taxes are administered at the county level. Residential property is assessed at 25% of its appraised value (market value), giving Tennessee one of the lower assessment ratios in the country. Combined with moderate mill rates, effective property tax rates in Tennessee are among the lowest in the nation. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, which makes property taxes more important as a local revenue source. Tax bills are mailed in the fall and due February 28.

Payment & Assessment

Tennessee property taxes are due February 28 of the year following the tax year. For example, 2024 taxes are due February 28, 2025. A penalty of 1.5% per month applies to taxes paid after February 28. Unpaid taxes become delinquent and may ultimately be subject to a tax sale. Most counties offer online payment through the county trustee's website. Contact your county trustee for payment options. In Tennessee, property taxes are collected by the county trustee (the equivalent of a county treasurer).
