Saturday, April 5, 2025, is the final day to apply/recertify for the 2024 Tax Relief and Tax Freeze programs. Metropolitan Trustee Erica S. Gilmore will fully open the Office of the Metropolitan Trustee from 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on this Saturday to assist homeowners submitting applications or payments on the day of the deadline.
What is Tax Relief? It's a program that helps lower one's property tax bill. 100% disabled veterans who became disabled through service (or their surviving spouses) can apply. Also, homeowners ages 65+, along with homeowners who are disabled (through the Social Security Administration) whose 2023 qualified income did not exceed $36,370 can receive this relief.
What does the Tax Freeze do? It locks in property tax payment amounts, preventatively stopping the parcel’s taxes to rise as a result of reappraisals. Davidson County property owners ages 65+ whose 2023 qualified income did not exceed $60,000 are eligible for this benefit. With cyclical property tax reappraisals falling later this year, waiting to apply for this program next year could be a costly mistake.
Davidson County homeowners are encouraged to apply now through the Office of Metropolitan Trustee, which is located in the Howard Office Building, President Ronald Reagan Way, Suite 220, Nashville, TN 37210.
The checklist of documents required to successfully apply for the programs can be found Metropolitan Trustee Erica S. Gilmore’s website, Nashville.gov/trustee or by calling the Trustee's Office at 615-862-6330. Don't wait; go online and/or call today.
