Tennessee property tax appeals, 2027
In Tennessee, you appeal a property assessment to the County Board of Equalization, and the deadline is the last day the county board of equalization hears appeals, set by each county after the board convenes June 1. Each county below lists its own date, how to file and who hears the appeal. Sale prices are public record here, so recent sales of similar homes are the main evidence of market value.
