Description
Provides financial assistance to enable people who meet income requirements to pay all or a portion of their property taxes with the objective of preventing them from becoming homeless. Tax freeze program: Qualifying homeowners age 65 and older can "freeze" the tax due on their property at the amount for the year they qualify, even if tax rates increase. Homeowners must have been 65 by December 31 of the tax year for which they are applying. Our office begins accepting applications to freeze taxes at the current amount due every October, and the deadline to apply for Tax Freeze is the following April 5. New applicants must come to our office, but no appointment is required. Bring the required documents to the Office of the Trustee and please arrive by 3:00 p.m. Tax relief program: Tennessee state law provides for property tax relief for low-income elderly and disabled homeowners, as well as disabled veteran homeowners or their surviving spouses. This is a state program funded by appropriations authorized by the General Assembly. Tax collecting officials, including county trustees, receive applications from taxpayers who may qualify. Applications must be filed each year to obtain relief.
