What is the Ohio property tax assessment ratio?

Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market (true) value statewide, under Ohio Revised Code §5713.03. Your county auditor must use this ratio when calculating your tax bill.

How much is the Ohio Homestead Reduction in 2026?

For tax year 2026, the general Homestead Reduction shields $29,000 of market value for qualifying owners age 65+, totally disabled, or surviving spouses age 59+ with Ohio Adjusted Gross Income under $41,000. The enhanced amount for 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty is $58,000 with no income limit. File DTE Form 105A with your county auditor.

When is the Ohio Board of Revision deadline?

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision (BOR) complaint deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year, per ORC §5715.19. Complaints are filed using DTE Form 1 with your county auditor at no cost. Late filings are rejected except in very narrow clerical-error circumstances.

How much is the Ohio real property conveyance fee?

Ohio's conveyance fee has two parts: a mandatory $1.00 per $1,000 state fee (ORC §319.54(F)(3)) and a permissive county levy of up to $3.00 per $1,000 (ORC §322.02). Most Ohio counties charge the full $4.00 per $1,000. A separate $0.50 transfer fee applies per parcel. Filed using DTE Form 100 at the auditor's office at closing.

Who qualifies for Ohio's CAUV agricultural tax break?

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program lets actively farmed land be taxed on its agricultural value rather than its market value. Eligibility requires 10+ acres devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture, or smaller parcels with $2,500+ in gross annual income from agriculture. Apply using DTE Form 109 and renew annually with DTE 109A. Removing land from CAUV triggers recoupment of three years of saved taxes under ORC §5713.34.

Tennessee County Auditors: Property Records & Tax Search

Tennessee statewide guide · 95 counties · Assessor, Trustee, deeds, taxes and GIS

Search Tennessee Property Records by County

Find Tennessee real-estate assessment data by owner name, property address or parcel ID, then use the county’s Assessor of Property, Trustee, Register of Deeds and GIS resources to verify value, taxes, ownership and mapped location.

Tennessee usually does not call this office a County Auditor. This guide translates that search phrase into the correct statewide workflow and explains what each official can—and cannot—do.

Terminology correction: An online search for a “Tennessee County Auditor” normally means the county Assessor of Property for appraisal records or the County Trustee for tax payment. Choosing the wrong office is the most common reason users cannot finish their task.

Quick answer: start with the statewide assessment search

Select the county in Tennessee Property Assessment Data, enter an owner name, address or parcel ID, open the matching parcel and save its complete parcel identifier. Contact the Assessor about value, the Trustee about payment and the Register of Deeds about legal documents.

1 Select the county Property systems are county-specific.

2 Search one field Begin with owner, address or parcel ID.

3 Verify the result Match the location and complete parcel number.

4 Use the right office Assessor, Trustee, Deeds or GIS.

Office-routing guide

Tennessee Assessor, Trustee or Register of Deeds?

Correct Tennessee office for each property task
Your question	Correct office	What the office handles	Important limit
Who owns the property and what is its value?	Assessor of Property	Owner display, parcel characteristics, classification, appraisal and assessed value.	The online owner display is not a title opinion.
How much county tax is currently due?	County Trustee	County tax bills, payment, receipts, delinquency, Tax Relief and participating Tax Freeze applications.	The Trustee does not set the property appraisal.
Is there a separate city property tax?	City collecting official	Municipal tax bills where a city levies property tax.	Not every Tennessee municipality levies property tax.
Where is the deed, mortgage or lien?	Register of Deeds	Recorded deeds, deeds of trust, releases, liens, plats and other instruments.	Staff generally cannot provide legal or title advice.
Where is the parcel on a map?	County GIS or Assessor map	Parcel location, tax-map references, aerial context and local layers.	GIS lines are not surveyed boundaries.
Is the assessment or classification wrong?	Assessor / County Board of Equalization	Informal review and formal current-year assessment appeals.	A high tax amount alone is not proof of an incorrect appraisal.
Does agricultural or forest land qualify for Greenbelt?	Assessor of Property	Agricultural, forest and open-space classification applications.	Preferential valuation can create rollback-tax exposure after disqualification.
Does an elderly or disabled homeowner qualify for assistance?	Trustee / city collecting official	Property Tax Relief and locally adopted Tax Freeze applications.	Relief is not an automatic total exemption.
How do I report business equipment?	Assessor of Property	Tangible personal-property schedules and assessments.	Business personal property uses a different schedule from real estate.

Best order: Find the parcel through the Assessor system, save the owner, address and parcel ID, then contact the office that controls the next action.

Understand the Tennessee property record

Common statewide property fields and next actions
Field	What it means	Practical next step
Parcel ID	The county tax-map identifier for the property.	Use it with the Assessor, Trustee, GIS and deed search.
Control Map	The first map component of the Tennessee parcel reference.	Enter it separately when Advanced Search requests map components.
Group	An optional lettered subdivision of a control map.	Do not place the group letters in the parcel field.
Owner	The ownership name displayed in the assessment system.	Use the recorded deed for legal title verification.
Property address	The physical or situs address associated with the parcel.	Do not confuse it with the owner’s mailing address.
Classification	Residential, farm, commercial, industrial or another statutory class.	Verify the classification because it determines the assessment ratio.
Appraised value	The Assessor’s estimate of fair market value.	Compare the property facts and relevant market evidence.
Assessed value	Appraised value multiplied by the statutory class percentage.	Use this value—not market value—when applying the tax rate.
Land and improvement data	Acreage, land class, structures, construction and physical characteristics.	Document errors with measurements, permits, photographs or surveys.
Sale data	Sale date, price and deed-reference information associated with a transfer.	Open the recorded deed and determine whether the sale was a normal market transaction.
Tax district	The county, city and special-district combination applying to the parcel.	Use the exact district when finding the correct tax rate.

Assessment record versus deed: The Assessor’s owner display is designed for taxation and may lag a recent recording. The Register of Deeds maintains the recorded ownership instrument.

Tax formula and rate search

Calculate Tennessee property tax correctly

Tennessee statutory assessment percentages
Property classification	Assessment percentage	Example on $400,000 appraised value
Residential real property	25%	$100,000 assessed value
Farm real property	25%	$100,000 assessed value before any Greenbelt use-value treatment
Commercial or industrial real property	40%	$160,000 assessed value
Business tangible personal property	30%	$120,000 assessed value
Public utility property	55%	$220,000 assessed value

State formula

Appraised value $400,000

Residential ratio 25% = $100,000 assessed

→

Assessed value ÷ 100 × rate $100,000 ÷ 100 × $2.50 = $2,500

Micro steps for a reliable estimate

Find the current appraised value Use the Assessor record for the applicable tax year.

Confirm the property classification Residential, farm and commercial property use different statutory percentages.

Calculate the assessed value Multiply appraised value by the correct percentage.

Find the exact local rate Use the county, city and special-school-district rate that applies to the parcel.

Divide assessed value by 100 Tennessee tax rates are commonly expressed per $100 of assessed value.

Multiply by the total applicable rate Add city tax only when the property is within a municipality that levies it.

Compare with the Trustee bill The estimate does not replace the live payable account.

Rate-year warning: Do not use a prior statewide rate table as the final answer. County commissions, municipalities and special districts can adopt different rates for a new tax year.

2026 county taxes Generally due by February 28, 2027

Confirm the actual county and city bill instructions.

Do not wait for a mailed bill. Tennessee jurisdictions are not legally required to mail property-tax notices. Property owners remain responsible for checking and paying the correct county and city accounts.

Standard annual assessment calendar

Important Tennessee assessment and tax dates
Date	Statewide function	Practical action
January 1	Assessment date for ownership, values and maps.	Confirm who owned the property and its condition on this date.
February 1	Business personal-property schedules mailed by this date.	Contact the Assessor if the business should have received a schedule.
Last day of February	Normal last day to pay preceding-year county taxes without interest.	Pay early and keep a receipt.
March 1	Prior-year county taxes become delinquent; business schedules are normally due.	Contact the Trustee for payoff and the Assessor for schedule issues.
March 15	Normal deadline for first-time Greenbelt applications.	File the correct agricultural, forest or open-space form with the Assessor.
May 20	Assessments generally completed and change notices mailed.	Review every value and classification change immediately.

Assessment appeal workflow

Challenge value or classification without losing appeal rights

Current date warning: August 1, 2026 has passed. A State Board appeal may still be timely when filed within 45 days after the county board’s notice, whichever deadline is later. Confirm immediately rather than assuming the appeal is closed.

Valid assessment issues

Appraised value exceeds supported market value

Incorrect residential, farm or commercial classification

Wrong acreage or parcel characteristics

Incorrect building size, age or condition

Demolished or damaged improvement remains listed

Comparable properties are materially inconsistent

Not a sufficient appeal by itself: A tax bill increased, the owner cannot afford the tax, or another county has a lower tax rate. Appeals address appraisal or classification—not budget decisions.

Appeal sequence

Request an informal Assessor review Ask staff to explain the property characteristics, classification, appraisal model and comparable information.

Do not confuse informal review with an appeal Informal discussion does not preserve further appeal rights.

File with the County Board of Equalization Confirm the county’s deadline, hearing dates and appointment process.

Submit evidence that quantifies value Use comparable sales, an appraisal, photographs, repair estimates, measurements or corrected property data.

Read the county-board decision notice Save the mailing date because it affects the State Board deadline.

File a State Board appeal when necessary The deadline is generally August 1 or 45 days after notice of county-board action, whichever is later.

Consider Chancery Court after final state action Judicial review generally must be sought within 60 days after the state order becomes final.

Evidence matched to the dispute

Useful evidence for a Tennessee assessment appeal
Issue	Useful evidence	Weak approach
Recent arm’s-length purchase	Closing statement, contract, deed and sale-condition explanation.	Quoting only an online automated estimate.
Incorrect building facts	Measurements, floor plan, permits, photographs and contractor documentation.	Saying the record is wrong without identifying the field.
Poor condition or damage	Dated photographs, inspection reports and cost estimates.	Listing routine maintenance without value impact.
Comparable sales	Similar properties with explained size, age, location and condition adjustments.	Selecting only low-priced sales without comparability analysis.
Incorrect classification	Actual use, leases, business records, farm activity and property photographs.	Assuming ownership type alone controls classification.

Taxes during appeal: Pay at least the undisputed portion before delinquency and pay prior-year delinquent taxes. An appeal does not automatically suspend every tax obligation.

Read official value-appeal rules Review county-board guidance

Agricultural, forest and open-space land

Use Tennessee Greenbelt without missing rollback risk

Greenbelt values qualifying land according to its current agricultural, forest or approved open-space use rather than its highest potential development value.

Basic Greenbelt classifications
Classification	Basic acreage or designation	Additional requirement
Agricultural land	Generally at least 15 acres	Must form a qualifying agricultural unit or meet the long-term family-use provision.
Forest land	At least 15 acres	Must constitute a forest unit under a sound sustained-yield management programme.
Open-space land	At least 3 acres	The planning commission must have designated the area for open-space preservation.

First-time application steps

Identify the correct land class Agricultural, forest and open-space applications use different facts and supporting documents.

Contact the county Assessor Ask whether the county uses the State Board form or an approved county-specific application.

Prepare ownership and acreage records Use deeds, surveys, parcel IDs and maps for every tract.

Document the qualifying use Provide crop, livestock, lease, forestry, management or planning evidence.

File by March 15 First-time applications are generally due by this date.

Verify the classification on the tax record Do not assume submission means approval.

Agricultural details

The Assessor considers acreage, productivity and actual agricultural use.
An average of at least $1,500 gross agricultural income may create a rebuttable presumption.
Income is not the only way land may qualify.

Forest details

A forest-management plan is required.
A professional forester is strongly advisable but not legally required for every plan.
The Assessor may request advice from the state forester.

Rollback-tax warning: A sale, subdivision or change to a non-qualifying use can trigger rollback taxes. Review potential liability before changing use or signing a purchase contract.

Read official Greenbelt rules

Homeowner assistance

Compare Property Tax Relief and Tax Freeze

Two programmes that are often confused
Programme	How it works	Who may qualify	Where to apply
Property Tax Relief	The state reimburses all or part of qualifying property taxes.	Qualifying low-income elderly or disabled homeowners and certain disabled veterans or surviving spouses.	County Trustee or city collecting official.
Property Tax Freeze	A participating jurisdiction freezes qualifying principal-residence taxes at a base amount.	Generally homeowners age 65 or older who meet the participating jurisdiction’s income limit.	County Trustee or city collecting official in a participating jurisdiction.

Property Tax Relief

Contact the collecting official Obtain the current application from the County Trustee and any city collecting office.

Choose the correct applicant category Elderly, disabled, disabled veteran or eligible surviving spouse.

Prepare ownership, residence and income evidence Spouse information and income can be required even when the spouse does not live at or own the property.

Submit the application locally The collecting official makes a preliminary determination and forwards it to the Comptroller.

Pay any remaining balance Relief is not an automatic exemption from every property-tax dollar.

Track the application Use the state Tax Relief Application Status Search when available.

Ten practical answers

Tennessee property-record and tax FAQs

Does Tennessee have county auditors for property records?

Most Tennessee counties do not use County Auditor as the primary property-record title. The Assessor of Property appraises and classifies property, the County Trustee collects county property taxes, and the Register of Deeds maintains deeds, mortgages, liens and plats.

Where can I search Tennessee property records statewide?

Use the Tennessee Property Assessment Data portal maintained by the Comptroller. It searches assessor data for 86 counties and provides external county links for Chester, Davidson, Hamilton, Hickman, Knox, Montgomery, Rutherford, Shelby and Williamson.

Can I search Tennessee property by owner name or address?

Yes. The statewide portal supports owner-name, property-address and parcel-ID searches. Advanced Search can also use subdivision, classification, sale dates and the control-map, group and parcel components.

How is Tennessee residential property tax calculated?

Residential property is generally assessed at 25 percent of appraised value. Divide the assessed value by 100 and multiply the result by the applicable county, city and special-district tax rate.

When do Tennessee county property taxes become delinquent?

Under the standard state assessment schedule, the last day to pay the preceding year’s county property taxes without interest is the last day of February, and unpaid taxes become delinquent March 1. Confirm local city and county instructions with the collecting official.

How do I appeal a Tennessee property assessment?

Start with the county Assessor of Property and request any available informal review. To preserve formal appeal rights, file with the County Board of Equalization by the county’s deadline. A county-board decision may generally be appealed to the State Board by August 1 or within 45 days after notice of the county decision, whichever is later.

What is Tennessee Greenbelt property classification?

Greenbelt values qualifying agricultural, forest or designated open-space land according to its current use rather than its highest potential use. First-time applications are generally due to the county assessor by March 15.

What is Tennessee Property Tax Relief?

Property Tax Relief is a state-funded reimbursement programme for qualifying low-income elderly or disabled homeowners and certain disabled veterans or surviving spouses. Applications are obtained from the County Trustee or city collecting official.

Where can I search Tennessee deeds and liens?

Contact the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is located. The UT County Technical Assistance Service maintains a statewide Register of Deeds directory, but each county controls its own search system, fees and online-record coverage.

Are Tennessee online parcel maps legal surveys?

No. State and county GIS parcel maps are useful for research and locating property, but they do not replace a recorded deed, subdivision plat, title examination or professional boundary survey.

Information checked August 7, 2026: Statewide property-search coverage, county-office duties, assessment percentages, calculation rules, annual deadlines, appeals, Greenbelt requirements, 2026 Tax Freeze jurisdictions, Property Tax Relief, tangible personal property, county directories and parcel-data resources were checked against Tennessee Comptroller, State Board of Equalization and UT County Technical Assistance Service sources.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
