APPEAL TIP
When
appealing an assessment, you should state your opinion of the market value
of the property as of January 1st of the tax year
and also provide evidence to support your opinion. Good documentation
includes:
·
a recent
deed, appraisal,
or closing statement;
·
an
engineering report
that
identifies a problem with
the land or
improvements;
·
a
construction invoice indicating
the cost of improvements;
·
a sales
report of comparable property in your neighborhood.
The
assessment and taxation processes are separated under Tennessee law, and the
Assessor has no control over tax rates or taxes. A a complaint of higher
taxes is not considered a viable cause to request a reduction in your
appraised value or assessment. The Assessor must appraise your
property at its market value and cannot reduce values simply to lower
someone's taxes.
