Assessor of Property

Show All Answers

1. How can I find what my house is appraised for and why?

You will find information regarding your property on the State of Tennessee website for online appraisal and assessment information or you can call us at (731) 423-6063 and provide your street address to learn of your property’s current market value and description.

You may also visit our office at:
New Southern Hotel
118 E. Baltimore St.
Second floor, Suite 4
Jackson, TN

Our office is on the south-side of the County Courthouse.

2. Does the Assessor’s property appraisal determine the amount of property taxes I pay to the City of Jackson and Madison County?

Tax rates are established individually by the Jackson City Council and the Madison County Commissioners. When set, these rates apply to your property’s assessment to determine the amount of taxes you pay. An assessment is a percentage of your appraised value. For residential properties the assessment is 25% and for commercial properties, the assessment is 40%.

3. What should I do if I do not agree with the Assessor’s appraisal of my property?

Contact the Property Assessor's Office and request a “review” of your property tax card. A clerk will ensure the information we have on our tax card is correct by asking questions; he/she will then record any reasons you have for believing your appraisal is incorrect. One of our field appraisers will review this information to ensure that your appraisal is accurate.
