Assessor's View on the 2009 reappraisal
The Assessor’s Office conducts a reappraisal every four years. The reappraisal is intended to reestablish equity by bringing all appraised values current so that all real property assessments are based on 100% of fair market value. In 2009, the Assessor’s Office will reappraise every taxable real property in Davidson County and estimate its fair market value on January 1, 2009.
Generally, the appraisal and assessment of a property do not change in the years between reappraisals. However, properties which have changed during a non-reappraisal year (such as those that have been added onto or been damaged or had a change in use, such as, from a residential use to a commercial use) may require a change in appraised value, assessed value, and/or classification. When any of these changes occur, whether during an appraisal or non- reappraisal year, an Assessment Change Notice is mailed.
In addition to providing required notices, the Assessor’s Office continuously strives to make information accessible for your use and review. This website is a key component of that effort. This website provides important information regarding how the Assessor’s Office conducts its duties, information as to various types of properties, including: mobile homes, personal property, and those that may qualify for an exemption. It is also a source of information on specific properties. Through WebPro, you can review basic data that is in the Assessor’s records regarding individual properties. The Property Data link here and the button at the left top of the page will link you to WebPro.
The Assessor’s Office works for you -- the citizens of Davidson County, Tennessee, and is motivated to serve you well. Please know that my staff and I welcome your questions and concerns.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you!
Sincerely,
George L. Rooker Jr.
