How can I appeal the assessed value of my property?

You may appeal the assessor’s valuation of your property by timely filing a complete appeal petition with the County Board of Equalization. There is no fee charged for filing an appeal. You may file your appeal by one of the following methods:

  • By Mail - Appeal forms may be mailed to the BOE Office. Envelopes must be postmarked by midnight of the deadline.
  • Online - Appeals may be filed online at boe.efile.shelbycountytn.gov/eFile. Online filings must be submitted by midnight of the deadline. The BOE strongly encourages property owners to use the BOE On-Line System to file their appeal. The process is simpler, faster and will generally provide an earlier hearing date. The system permits the taxpayer to upload supporting documentation directly to the BOE’s system. NOTE: Online eFile website is only functional during appeal season.

PROPERTY OWNERS WITH ONE (1) REAL PROPERTY APPEAL WILL BE ALLOWED TO SCHEDULE THEIR HEARING DATE PROPERTY OWNERS OR REPRESENTATIVES WITH MORE THAN 100 APPEALS MUST FILE ONLINE
