Property Assessor

 

Message from the Property Assessor

As the Franklin County Assessor Property, my primary responsibility is to provide the Franklin County taxpayers with accurate and fair appraisals of their property. It is my personal commitment to the people that this process is done in a fair and transparent manner.

Tennessee State Law mandates that the County Assessor of Property is responsible for locating and identifying all property inside the county.
Additionally the Assessor is responsible for the appraisal of those properties including determining an assessed value for each property identified.
The final assessment of property is calculated by applying a classification percentage defined the Tennessee Constitution. The appraised amount is taxed according to the rate established by the Franklin County Commission.

My office staff will perform its work in an open and transparent manner while making appraisal information easily accessible to the public. I am dedicated to providing the citizens of Franklin County with the information they need to understand the reappraisal process including their rights and responsibilities
as property owners. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
