SERVICES OFFERED
The Trustee serves three primary functions: (1) collecting all county property
taxes (all property, real and personal, tangible and intangible, must be assessed
for taxation by the state or its political subdivisions unless property is declared
to be exempt by some provision of Tennessee law); (2) keeping a fair regular
account of all money received; and (3) investing temporarily idle county funds.
The trustee disburses sales tax revenues and may collect municipal property
taxes and other state and local taxes. The Trustee generally acts as treasurer
for the county, receiving and paying out funds. The Trustee must keep a detailed
account of these transactions.
In addition, the Trustee administers a State funded Tax Relief Program to help
the elderly and disabled citizens pay their property taxes. For qualifying
applicants, the State of Tennessee will pay a portion of the property taxes
for their home. Application must be completed no later than 35 days after
the February 28th tax payment deadline.
