ABOUT MARYVILLE PROPERTY TAXES  

The City of Maryville Financial Services Department is responsible for the collection of all city property taxes including personal and public utilities taxes. The City tax year runs from January 1 to December 31 of the current year.

Taxes are due and payable without penalty from September 1 to November 30 of the current tax year.  If payment is not received by November 30, penalties and interest begin accruing December 1 at the rate of 2.33%  per month.  All unpaid real estate taxes are turned over to the Blount County Clerk and Master's Office for collection 15 months after the December 1 date.

Please note that the City of Maryville's penalty dates do not concur with other city, county, or state tax dates.  According to the Maryville Municipal Code, penalties are fixed by City Council and cannot be waived.  Property tax notices are not required by state law but are sent to you as a courtesy and reminder.  If your taxes are paid through a mortgage lender, tax information will be sent to the lender upon their request. 

Property tax assessments are made by the Blount County Property Assessor and certified to the State of Tennessee.  City taxes are figured based on these assessments.

For the year 2010 the property tax rate for the City of Maryville is $2.17 per $100 assessed value.  If a property owner has questions regarding their assessment, they should contact the Blount County Property Tax Assessor's office at (865) 273-5850.  If you have a question regarding your City taxes, call (865)273-3499.

2010 PROPERTY TAX ALLOCATION  

CALCULATE YOUR PROPERTY TAX

The City of Maryville annually reconsiders its tax rate as it deliberates budget needs.  You can compute your tax amount to see how tax increases/decreases will affect you.  You must know your appraisal value provided by the county tax assessor's office.   To compute the assessed value, multiply the appraisal amount by 25% if your property is residential, 30% if your property is commercial personal property and 40% if your property is commercial.  Take the assessed value of your property and divide it by $100 and then multiply that by the tax rate. Example:  $100,000 x 25% = $25,000/100 x 2.30= $575.00.

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX
