Nashville Property Values Surge: What the 45% Jump Means for Your Tax Bill

Nashville homeowners are facing a significant shift in their property valuations. The Davidson County Assessor of Property recently announced a record-breaking 45% average increase in property values since the last reappraisal in 2021. This surge is attributed to the city's rapid growth and escalating real estate market, marking the most substantial increase in recent history.

This reappraisal is part of the county's routine four-year cycle, aimed at aligning property values with current market conditions. While a higher appraisal doesn't automatically equate to increased taxes, it does influence the calculation of property tax bills. The Metro Council will set the new tax rate later this year, and it's essential to note that Tennessee law requires a certified tax rate adjustment to prevent automatic revenue increases due to higher property values.

For homeowners, this development underscores the importance of understanding the reappraisal process and its implications. If you believe your property's new valuation doesn't reflect its true market value, you have the right to appeal through an informal review process. The deadline to request an informal review is May 9, 2025. If the outcome of the informal review is unsatisfactory, you may appeal to the Metropolitan Board of Equalization, with the last day to schedule an appeal being June 14, 2025, at 4:00 PM.
