If you are unsure of your current market value, contact a local realtor or take advantage of many online tools to do your own research.

Rutherford County has a revaluation and equalization in 2022. The current values for taxation on your property was established in 2018's equalization process. Next year those values will change and the apportionment and redistribution of the tax burden for the county will change based upon the change in values and the percent of change in property as measured against the median value change.

Just because your value goes up does not mean you will pay more in property taxes. The "Truth in Taxation" law required a revenue neutral certified tax rate be calculated by every taxing jurisdiction.

This "revenue neutral rate" when applied to the new assessed value of the taxing jurisdiction will produce the same amount in property taxes as the old values did with the previous tax rate. Individual properties will be impacted differently depending on their change in relation to the median change of all properties in the jurisdiction.
