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."

Below are the 2024 Tax Relief and Tax Freeze Sign-up Events:

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
