2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with Coffee County Property Assessor.
Effective rate
2026 official budget rates vary by jurisdiction: Uniform Property Tax 2.0558; Manchester 2.1078; Rural 2.3310; Industrial Park 2.5497 per $100 of assessed value.
Statement mailing
October 2026; the official Coffee County Trustee page says property-tax notices are mailed in October, but does not publish a specific day.
Payment deadline
October 5, 2026 (the first Monday in October) through February 28, 2027; delinquent March 1, 2027 under Tennessee's annual property-tax schedule.
Valuation protest
June 1–June 30, 2026; Coffee County's official 2026 reappraisal notice says the County Board of Equalization accepts tax-year 2026 appeals through June 30, 2026, by appointment and personal appearance or authorized agent.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
