before the county commission for consideration.

| This year, after major flooding impacted over half of Tennessee’s counties, the General Assembly enacted several tax relief provisions for flood victims. One of the provisions enacted authorizes local governments to provide a measure of relief through the property tax appraisal process. This link connects you to an electronic copy of a packet of information mailed to Assessors of Property and County Mayors of the 49 counties included in the FEMA flood disaster declaration. It contains a memorandum from the Division of Property Assessments summarizing the special legislation on proration of the properties affected by the floods and the roles and responsibilities of entities administering those assessments. This is a local option tax relief provision and will only take affect if adopted by a 2/3 vote of the governing body. The link also includes attachments such as copies of the legislation, a FEMA map of affected jurisdictions, a sample resolution developed by CTAS, and a sample application. |
