๐๐ง๐จ๐ฑ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ: What's next breakdown
Iโve seen a lot of questions about the new Knox County property assessments, so hereโs the simple way to estimate it:
1. Find your new appraised value on your reassessment notice or the Knox County Property Search.
2. For residential property, multiply by 25%.
Example: $400,000 appraised value ร 25% = $100,000 assessed value.
3. Divide assessed value by 100, then multiply by the tax rate.
Example using the current 2025 county rate:
$100,000 รท 100 ร $1.5540 = $1,554 estimated county tax.
If you live inside Knoxville city limits, city taxes are separate and use the city rate too. Current 2025 rates are $1.5540 county and $2.1556 city per $100 of assessed value, but the 2026 rates will be set later this summer, so your final bill may not match this estimate exactly.
๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐, you can file an informal appeal online through the Knox County Property Assessorโs website until ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ. Results are expected in mid-to-late June, and if you still disagree, the next step is the County Board of Equalization.
Save this so you can run your numbers, and share it with a Knox County neighbor whoโs trying to make sense of their new assessment.
