Here are some frequently asked questions regarding making payments in person and online and general tax bill questions.
Is the City Recorder required to mail tax notices?
Hickman County Records sends out Town of Centerville tax notices.
Tennessee law does not require mailing tax notices indicating the taxes due. Property owners are presumed to know that taxes are due without personal notice. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the payment responsibility, nor is this a reason for interest charges to be dismissed if the tax bill becomes delinquent. (CTAS-1573), T.C.A. § 67-5-2101.
When are property tax bills mailed out?
Tax Statements are mailed in October each year. Property tax bills are mailed to the owner on record. New owners should contact their title company or review their closing statement to determine who pays the taxes.
What happens if I miss the tax payment deadline?
Interest of 1.5% is applied monthly until April 1 of the following year. Then unpaid taxes are turned over to the Clerk & Master.
Is Postmark accepted?
Yes, unless subject to clerk and master.
What period do my annual taxes cover?
Previous full year. Example: You pay taxes for 2023 by February 28, 2024.
My name and/or Address are incorrect. What needs to be done?
You may contact the County Assessor's office at 931-729-2169.
My mortgage company pays my taxes. What do I do with this notice?
Tax information should be forwarded to your mortgage company.
Can I make partial payments?
No, partial payments are not accepted.
What options do I have to pay my City property taxes?
Cash or check only at this time. There will be an option to pay by credit card in the future.
