NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Are you aware that this month you can take advantage of the higher Property Tax Freeze Program?
The qualifying income limit for the Property Tax Freeze program will increase from $47,750 to $60,000 this month, allowing more Davidson County residents to freeze their property taxes.
To help with the sign-up process, the Trustees Office is hosting multiple events across Davidson County with Tax freeze and relief experts available to provide one-on-one assistance to people.
"If the public can come out and you're 65 years or older and you qualify, this is a tremendous tax savings before the re-appraisal year," explained Metro Trustee Erica Gilmore. "That's a big deal. This would freeze your property taxes. If your taxes were currently $2,000 and you went through re-appraisal and they were $4,000, if you apply they would still be $2,000. That is a major savings."

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
