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
- 2026 taxes are due and payable October 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027 under the Macon County Trustee's published schedule; delinquent March 1, 2027 with 1.5% monthly interest and penalty. The Trustee publishes a 2% October discount and 1% November discount.
- Assessment appeal
- The 2026 County Board of Equalization generally convenes June 1, 2026; the county-specific final session date and appointment deadline were not published by the official sources reviewed. Appeal to the Tennessee State Board of Equalization by August 1, 2026 or within 45 days after the county-board notice, whichever is later. See the official appeal guidance: https://comptroller.tn.gov/boards/state-board-of-equalization/value-appeals.html.

View exemption application (opens in a new tab)Exemption filing
Tennessee has no general homeowner homestead exemption. Greenbelt (agricultural, forest, or open-space) applications are filed with the county Assessor by March 15; qualifying state property-tax exemption applications are generally due May 20. State Tax Relief applications are obtained from the county Trustee: https://comptroller.tn.gov/office-functions/pa/property-taxes/property-tax-programs/tax-relief.html.
Senior relief
2026 Tennessee Property Tax Relief is available through the county Trustee to qualifying low-income elderly and disabled homeowners, disabled veterans, and surviving spouses. The official 2026 standard tax-freeze income-limit table lists Macon at $38,470, but the official participating-jurisdiction list did not verify a countywide Macon Tax Freeze adoption; confirm eligibility and file with the Trustee.
Valuation limits
No general Tennessee individual assessed-value cap was verified. Tennessee uses periodic reappraisal and certified-tax-rate/revenue-neutral rules; Greenbelt present-use valuation and any qualifying local 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.
