Property Tax

Taxes are based on the appraised values placed on residential, industrial, and commercial properties by the Fayette County Assessor of Property. Taxes are calculated per $100 of assessed value multiplied by the current tax rate of $0.3176. This rate is set by the City Commission as part of the annual budget process.

Tax bills are usually mailed out by October of each year and become past due on March 1st. At that time, monthly interest of 1.5% will accrue. Delinquent taxes are presented to Attorney's for collection on March 1st of the following year.

The City does not have a searchable database. Please contact Bev Holloway at 901-853-4830, ext. 3 if you have any questions regarding your property tax bill.

How to Calculate Your Property Tax

Assessment is a percentage of appraisal value:

  • Residential 25%
  • Commercial 40%
  • Industrial 40%
  • Personal Property 30%

In the state of Tennessee, residential property is assessed at 25% of its appraised value.

Using a $100,000 residential property as an example: 25% of $100,000 is $25,000

Piperton applies its tax rate to the assessed value in multiples of 100.

The current tax rate is $0.3176 per $100 of assessed value.

To continue the example: $25,000/100 = 250

City of Piperton taxes for the year are: 250 x $0.3176 = $79.40
