Overton County, Tennessee property-tax payment and appeal deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with Overton County Assessor of Property (Cara Boone).
Rate context
Confirmofficial sources reviewed do not publish a single 2026 countywide effective rate; the County Commission and Town of Livingston set applicable rates.
Statement mailing
PublishedOctober 1, 2026; the official Overton County Trustee page states tax bills are mailed annually on October 1.
Payment deadline
Published2026 Overton County property taxes are due and payable October 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027 without interest or penalty; interest and penalty begin March 1, 2027 at 1.5% per month.
Valuation protest
PublishedThe Overton County Board of Equalization begins June 1, 2026; official county guidance says appointments must be made no later than June 30, 2026. 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.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed 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 a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation 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.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment 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.
