Tennessee Senior Property Tax Freeze Program

State

This program stops your property taxes from increasing, and your property taxes will be frozen at a base tax amount. You can take part in this program if you are a homeowner, 65 years of age or older, and meet the program's income guidelines as set by your county.

About this program

How can this program help me?

This program limits when your home’s property taxes can increase each year if you are a qualifying older adult. The Senior Property Tax Freeze Program locks in the amount of your yearly taxes at the amount paid in the first year you qualify. The freeze will not stop your taxes from increasing if you sell your home and buy another one, or if the property value increases because of improvements.
