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 Obion County Assessor of Property (Judy Smith).
Effective rate
official sources reviewed do not publish a single 2026 countywide effective rate; county and city taxing authorities set applicable rates.
Statement mailing
official Obion County sources state that tax notices are sent by the Trustee but do not publish a specific 2026 mailing date.
Payment deadline
2026 Obion County property taxes become due October 5, 2026 (the first Monday in October) and may be paid through February 28, 2027 without interest; unpaid taxes become delinquent March 1, 2027.
Valuation protest
The Obion County Board of Equalization begins its 2026 regular session June 1, 2026; the official county source does not publish a final session date. Appeal to the State Board by August 1, 2026 or 45 days after the county decision notice, whichever is later; see https://comptroller.tn.gov/boards/state-board-of-equalization/value-appeals.html.
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.
