The County Trustee serves as the treasurer for the county.  The main function of the office is to collect property taxes. The County Commission sets the tax rate each year in July.   The Property Assessor establishes your property assessment values for your real property and for business personal property.

Property taxes are due and payable in October and must be paid by the last day of February of the following year.  Taxes become delinquent on March 1st.  Interest accrues at a rate of 1.5 % on the first day of each month.  Tennessee state law allows for partial payments for property taxes but the total tax must by paid by February to avoid interest.

The County Trustee also assist taxpayers with the State of Tennessee Tax Relief Program and Property Tax Freeze Program For more information, please click on the Tax Relief and Tax Freeze tabs.
