Tennessee property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Tennessee?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Tennessee adds its own break: Property Tax Relief reimburses part of taxes for 65+ or disabled owners with 2024 income up to $37,530; disabled veterans too.

Tennessee has no tax on wages; counties and cities may also adopt a tax freeze that locks the tax amount for owners 65+.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
