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.
