๐ก HOMEOWNER RESOURCE | 2026 TENNESSEE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
Did you know Tennessee has a Property Tax Relief Program that may help qualifying homeowners with part or all of their paid property taxes?
The program is available to certain:
๐ต Elderly homeowners
โฟ Disabled homeowners
๐บ๐ธ Disabled veteran homeowners
โค๏ธ Qualifying surviving spouses of disabled veterans
For 2026, qualifying elderly and disabled homeowners must meet income requirements and use the property as their primary residence. The stateโs 2026 brochure lists a $38,470 maximum 2025 household income and calculates relief on up to $33,600 of market value for those categories.
For qualifying disabled veteran homeowners and certain surviving spouses, relief may be calculated on up to $175,000 of market value. Veterans generally must meet specific VA disability requirements, including certain service-connected permanent and total disabilities.
๐ Important: This is a reimbursement program, not a property tax exemption. Homeowners still receive their tax bill and remain responsible for paying their property taxes.
๐
When can you apply?
Applications may be submitted after you receive your 2026 property tax bill. The deadline is 35 days after the delinquency date, and taxes must also be paid by that date.
๐ Where do you apply?
Contact your county trustee or, if applicable, your city collecting official.
