Here are some Frequently Asked Questions regarding making payments in person, online and general tax bill questions.

{slider=Is the City Recorder required to mail tax notices?}

Tennessee law does not require the mailing of tax notices indicating the amount of taxes due. Owners of property are presumed to know that taxes are due without personal notice. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the responsibility of payment, nor is this a reason for interest charges to be dismissed if the tax bill becomes delinquent. (CTAS-1573), T.C.A. § 67-5-2101

{slider=When are property tax bills mailed out?}

Tax Statements are mailed in October each year. Property tax bills are mailed to the owner on record.  New owners should contact their title company or review their closing statement to determine who is responsible for paying the taxes.

{slider=What happens if I miss the tax payment deadline?}

On the first day of each month beginning March 1, interest of 1.5 percent (18 percent annually) is added to your base tax amount.

{slider=Is Postmark accepted?}

Any tax payment transmitted by U.S. mail is deemed received on the date on the postmark, but not all items are postmarked by the United States Postal Service. If the Post Office fails to postmark your payment, it is considered paid on the date received by our office. This applies even if you mail your payment on time. For mail-in payments, office meter dates are not accepted. 

Payments made on the City's website are recognized by the city as paid on the date of the online transaction. Payments made utilizing your bank's online bill pay service are posted as of the date received.
