The state requires property reappraisals every four years. Appraisers visually inspected more than 264,000 taxable properties in Davidson County over the past three years to calculate new values.
Wilhoite informed Metro Council members of the final reappraisal figure in a memo Thursday. She said property owners should begin receiving mailed notices of the changes in values as early as Friday. Property bills will go out in October.
With property values rising, it will automatically push the tax rate down too, so the city can t collect a revenue windfall. Typically, the city has then raised the rate back up in order to capture extra revenue from the rise in property values. That did not occur in 2013 and 2017.
Former Sen. Thelma Harper, Tennessee s longest-serving female state senator and the first Black woman to be elected to the chamber, died Thursday.
Harper, a Democrat from Nashville, was 80 years old. Her death was confirmed by members of both the Tennessee Senate and House Democratic caucuses who had been in touch with Harper s daughter, Linda, though the circumstances of her death are unclear. She passed peacefully and unexpectedly this morning holding my hand, Linda Harper wrote in a post on her mother s political Facebook page.
Elected in 1991, Harper made history serving for 30 years as a state senator. But she was also a prominent Nashvillian in her roles as a mentor and mother figure in the community, easily recognizable by her large signature hats.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A move to alter the Davidson County line at the request of one property owner is advancing through the state legislature.
But Davidson County s Assessor of Property, Vivian Wilhoite, opposes the move, and said it could open the flood gates for others to try and leave the county to avoid paying higher property taxes. This is going to be a big deal that could open Pandora s box, Wilhoite said.
Nashville-based Zander Insurance is supporting the disaster relief efforts of Team Rubicon with a $60,000 donation.
Most recently, Team Rubicon, a veteran-founded disaster response organization, was on the ground in Texas providing food and water to families without power for more than a week. The organization also provided aid and assistance in Nashville when the deadly tornadoes swept through in March 2020.
In December, Zander held a campaign to give back a portion of its ID theft protection sales to Team Rubicon to recognize Identity Theft Prevention and Awareness Month. This donation marks the eighth year that Zander raised funds to support a nonprofit in December.
