make washington county Property Tax relief meaningful!

Washington County should consider adopting the Property Tax Freeze program approved by TN voters in 2006 and the TN legislature in 2007 for the benefit of qualified residents. This would be in addition to the Tax Relief Program currently available to qualified elderly, disable homeowners, and disabled veterans, providing financial assistance to help alleviate property tax burdens.  The current Tax Relief Program alone (established in the 1970s) is simply not sufficient to provide real, meaningful relief to many of our county's residents.

While not designed to displace the Tax Relief Program, the TN Comptroller confirms the Property Tax Freeze Act benefits are in addition to those afforded in the Tax Relief Program.  Tax Freeze FAQ
