The collection of Real Property Taxes in Davidson County is the responsibility of the Office of the Trustee.
The Property Assessor places the appraised value on residential and commercial properties. The Trustee accepts the Certified Real Property Tax Roll from the Property Assessor in September each year for collection.
Property Tax Statement and Payments
Property tax statements are generated from the Tax Roll and mailed the first week of October each year. The tax collection period is from October through the following February. Any taxes not paid in full by the last day of February are subject to interest under the law of the State of Tennessee. State legislation allows property owners to make partial payments during the tax collection period, but the total tax must be paid by the last day of February to avoid and interest.
Delinquent Tax
The Office of the Trustee and its Division of Collections processes and collects all delinquent taxes from March through the following February. Delinquent taxes are then collected by the Clerk and Master's office.
Vegetation Lien
A Vegetation Lien results from failure to comply with Chapter 10.28 of Metro Code to maintain excessive growth of vegetation or accumulation of debris, trash, litter or garbage so as to endanger health, safety and welfare of citizens or encourage infestation of rats, rodents or animals. The Metropolitan Trustee shall, upon receipt of a lien and a statement of costs, make an appropriate notation in the files and collect the costs in the same manner as the taxes are collected.
