Tax bills & filing dates
These are the dates and qualifications recorded in the directory. Confirm your tax year and current deadline with the official office and your property’s notice.
- Payment deadline
- For the 2026 tax year, Tennessee taxes become due and payable on October 1, 2026; the preceding year's taxes may be paid without penalty and interest through February 28, 2027, and become delinquent March 1, 2027, under the official Tennessee assessment schedule.
- Assessment appeal
- For tax year 2026, the county Board of Equalization generally convenes June 1, 2026 (or the next business day) and accepts appeals through the last day of its regular session; an appeal to the State Board of Equalization is due August 1, 2026 or within 45 days after notice of the county-board action, whichever is later. Contact the county assessor for the exact regular-session closing date.
Exemptions & appeals
View exemption application (opens in a new tab)Exemption filing
Tennessee has no general homestead property-tax exemption. For 2026, general property-tax exemption applications are due May 20, and Greenbelt applications are due March 15; any county-specific exemption or Greenbelt filing is administered by the Assessor of Property.
Senior relief
Tennessee's 2026 Property Tax Relief Program provides state reimbursement for qualifying low-income elderly and disabled homeowners, disabled veterans, and surviving spouses; it is not an exemption and applications go to the county trustee. Bedford County is not listed among Tennessee counties that adopted the local-option county tax freeze for 2026; the state relief program remains available to qualifying applicants through the County Trustee.
Valuation limits
No general Tennessee individual assessed-value cap was verified. Tennessee uses appraisal/reappraisal and revenue-neutral certified-rate rules rather than a general assessment-growth cap; Greenbelt use-value classification and the qualifying senior tax-freeze program are separate protections.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
