Income and age-eligible households who need financial assistance with their property taxes may apply for help through the Property Tax Relief Assistance program, or the Property Tax Freeze program, administered through the Office of the Metropolitan Trustee.  

If you, or someone you know, is 65 years of age or older, a disabled veteran, or physically disabled, they may qualify for tax relief. To qualify for Tax Relief, the property owner’s combined income cannot exceed $30,700. The income limit to qualify for a Tax Freeze is $43,810.

The deadline to apply is Monday, April 5, 2021. 

For more information, call the Office of the Metropolitan Trustee Erica Gilmore at 615-862-6330 or please visit: https://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/Trustee/docs/TaxReliefFlyer2019.pdf 

The law requires that the Schedule B forms be mailed by February 1, 2021, and that returns be filed “on or before” March 1, 2021. Since this represents such a short turnaround time, and because our primary interest is in getting all appraisals correct, we will consider all information made available to us for review before we complete the appraisals and send the required assessment change notices in April.

Please understand that if you did not file on or before the March 1, 2021, deadline, the law requires your assessment for 2021 to be “forced.” Filings prior to the deadline are considered “reported” accounts.

If you are submitting information after the deadline, please keep in mind that we need to receive it no later than 4:00 pm on April 1, 2021.

The 2021 Schedule B’s will be mailed out on Friday, January 29th and the deadline to timely file is March 1, 2021. Online filing will be available on Friday January 29th. You will need your original mailed copy of the schedule for the Pin number to use to log into the online filing system.

If you have any questions about filing your Schedule B, please call our Personal Property Department at (615) 862-6073.
