Figures use current dues; estimate only, not a loan offer.
The Davidson County appraised value of $212,000 trails the $239,000 list price. If the next reassessment moves the appraised value toward today's market, estimated annual property tax would rise from about $1,474 now to roughly $1,662 (appraised value times the 25% Tennessee residential ratio times the Davidson County General Services District rate). Reassessment timing and the certified rate can change, and a purchase does not by itself trigger reassessment. Verify with the Davidson County Assessor of Property and Trustee. Estimate only.
