Welcome to Benton County's most recent, improved, efficient, and convenient way to pay taxes.... online! The Benton County Trustee's Office continually strives to find and offer new services to benefit our taxpayers. We believe that this new service will prove to be extremely beneficial locally as well as statewide. The current year taxes are due and payable beginning October 1st through the last day of February of the following year.

The Trustee serves three primary functions: (1) Collecting all county property taxes (all property, real and personal, tangible and intangible, must be assessed for taxation by the state or its political subdivisions unless property is declared to be exempt by some provision of Tennessee law); (2) Keeping a fair and regular account of all money received; and (3) Investing temporarily idle county funds.

The trustee disburses sales tax revenues and may collect municipal property taxes and other state and local taxes. The trustee generally acts as treasurer for the county, receiving and paying out funds. The trustee must keep a detailed account of these transactions.
