HOW TENNESSEE APPEALS WORK
THE SHORT VERSION

Tennessee sets your appraised value, and you appeal first to your county board of equalization, which meets in late spring or June. If denied, you appeal to the State Board of Equalization by August 1 or within 45 days. An appeal helps when your value is above what your home would sell for.

WHEN AN APPEAL MAKES SENSE
  • Your appraised value is above what your home would sell for.
  • The record has an error in your home’s size, condition, or features, or the classification is wrong.
  • You appeal to the county board of equalization when it meets, then to the State Board by August 1 or within 45 days.
WHEN IT USUALLY WILL NOT
  • Your bill went up but your appraised value is fair. A higher bill often comes from the tax rate, not the value.
  • You have no market evidence. The board reviews your value, not the size of your bill.

In Tennessee, your county assessor sets your home’s value, and you appeal first to your county board of equalization, which meets in the late spring or June. If that board denies you, you can appeal to the State Board of Equalization, generally by August 1 or within 45 days of the county board’s notice, whichever is later. An appeal helps when your appraised value is above what your home would sell for, or the record has an error. It usually will not help just because your bill went up. This is general information, not tax advice.
