Perry 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 Perry County Assessor of Property (Brett Skelton).
Rate context
Confirmthe official Perry County Assessor page lists county and town rates but does not identify a single 2026 countywide effective rate.
Statement mailing
PublishedOctober 2026; the official Perry County Trustee states tax statements are mailed in October each year but does not publish a specific 2026 day.
Payment deadline
Published2026 Perry County tax statements are payable in October 2026 through February 28, 2027; unpaid taxes accrue 1.5% monthly interest beginning March 1, 2027. The official county sources reviewed do not publish a specific 2026 October start day.
Valuation protest
PublishedThe Perry County Board of Equalization convenes June 1, 2026 under Tennessee's statewide schedule; the county-specific final session and appointment deadline were not published by the official sources reviewed. 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.
