Deed transfer to new owner
-When the Assessor’s Office receives a copy of the deed from the Register of Deeds Office the day after the deed is registered, there is approximately 90 days before it is transferred to the new owners name. The tax bill goes to whatever name it was in Jan 1 till the next year. The closing papers should say or it should be agreed upon how the taxes are paid for that current year. We rely on the deed mailing address to make sure the tax bill goes out to the correct address for the next year. Tax bills are not mailed to the mortgage company.
Greenbelt
- Greenbelt applications will be mailed out within 90 days after deed has been processed.
- Rollback Taxes
What are rollback taxes? (Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 67-5-1004(12), 1008(d)(1))
Rollback taxes are the amount of taxes saved over a certain period of time that the land qualified as agricultural, forest, or open space. These taxes are not a penalty; they are a recapture of the amount of taxes saved.
How is the amount of rollback taxes calculated? (Tenn. Code Ann. § 1008(d)(1))
They are calculated by the difference between the use value and market value assessments. For agricultural and forest land, rollback taxes are calculated each year for the preceding three years. For open space land, they are calculated each year for the preceding five years.
Who calculates the amount of rollback taxes? (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-1008(d)(1))
The assessor of property must calculate rollback taxes.
What is the delinquency date for rollback taxes? (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-1008(d)(3))
Rollback taxes are payable from the date written notice is sent by the assessor and become delinquent on March 15 of the following year.
Additional information about rollback taxes may be found in the Greenbelt Manual.
