Tennessee. However, there is the Hall income tax strictly on interest from bonds, notes, and dividends from stock which will

RATIO ASSESSMENTThe Assessment Ra� o for the diff erent

classes of property is established by state law – residen� al and farm @ 25% of appraised value. For a house with an

APPRAISED value of $100,000, the ASSESSED value is $25,000 (25% of $100,000).

hundred of assessed value.To fi gure the tax simply mul� ple the

ASSESSED VALUE ($25,000) by the TAX RATE $3.20 per hundred dollars as-sessed).

$25,000 x .03200 = for a tax bill of $800.
