Informal Reviews
If you disagree with the classification or value assigned to your property, the Call Center will be open to receive your call at (615) 862-6059 beginning Monday, April 26, 2021 to file an Informal Review. An Informal Review resolves most issues without requiring a Formal Appeal. The best method to file an Informal Review is to submit your review request online at www.padctn.org beginning Friday, April 23, 2021. You should provide documentation to support your opinion. You can research information, review property characteristics and find comparable sales for your property by clicking the SIMPLE SEARCH link under the REAL PROPERTY SEARCH tab on our website at www.padctn.org. We will review all facts and notify you in writing of our conclusions. We can also file an Informal Review on your behalf by calling our office at (615) 862-6059 weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST), and our appraisal staff will assist you. The deadline to file your Informal Review is Friday, May 21, 2021 at 4:00 p.m.
Formal Appeals to the Independent Metropolitan Board of Equalization
While an Informal Review may be helpful, it is not required for you to file a Formal Appeal directly with the independent Metropolitan Board of Equalization (MBOE) and its Hearing Officers. Whether you file directly or because you are not satisfied with the result of an Informal Review, you can schedule a Formal Appeal hearing from May 24, 2021 until the deadline of June 25, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. To schedule a Formal Appeal please call (615) 862-6059 weekdays, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. CST. The MBOE will convene on June 1, 2021 and its Hearing Officers will begin to hear appeals at that time.
Formal Appeals to The Independent State Board of Equalization
After the MBOE adjourns, the decisions are mailed, giving you 45 days to appeal to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) if you disagree with the MBOE. Failure to appeal to the independent MBOE or SBOE may result in losing further appeal rights for the 2021 tax year.
Assessor Wilhoite stated that this is your opportunity to be apart of a transparent process if you believe that you should appeal.
