Knox County Property Reappraisals
By: bizgrrl

Knox County Property Reappraisals have been published. Are you happy with your reappraisal? Did they do an across the board increase? Will our tax bills increase?

The only way I know how to look up the new appraisal is by going to this Knox Assessor link. When the property record is displayed as a result of the search, click on the property owners name to see reappraisal information. I cannot find the link on the Knox County Property Assessor web site. I do see information on how to appeal your new appraisal.

I'm not too happy about the increase in a property I manage. Plus, they have the property details incorrect. Alas, another conversation with local government.

We just got a few of ours in

We just got a few of ours in the mail. Every one went up except one rental went down. I kind of understand because they have probably been under evaluated for some time. It still hurts they went up so much at one time. Our own personal house went way way up, but again it's not risen once since 1998 until this year. So I guess I can't be too upset.

My appraisal on a single family 2 story brick house decreased by a few thousand dollars...

My understanding is that the Knox County Property Assessor's Office mailed these notices out Friday and Saturday of last week.

In years past, the KNS always covered the reappraisal results, informing us on the average percentage value increase county wide and on what neighborhoods saw unusually higher or lower valuations.

I've looked in the hard copy and also searched the online edition several ways on Sunday, Monday, and today, but I've spotted no coverage whatsoever.

It seems USA Today isn't much attuned to our local affairs...

From KNS USA Today Network

From KNS USA Today Network Tennessee,

Property appraisals have gone up about 11 percent countywide this year, according to assessor John Whitehead.

Because the state law requires the reassessment process, which takes place every four years, to remain revenue-neutral, the city and county tax rates also will drop about 11 percent.

Revenue-neutral. Yeah, will probably be like Blount County. Not long after our reassessments a property tax increase was voted for and passed.

Thanks for the link to the KNS story. I had called them on Wednesday to complain that they had not reported anything on the reappraisal results--which, given that the process takes place just every four years, I thought was fairly significant "news."

A week-late story is better than none. Guess my call worked...
