How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Tennessee
How it works. Court-ordered delinquent-tax sale subject to statutory equity of redemption; order confirming sale and tax deed/order establish purchaser's tax-sale title subject to redemption and challenge periods
Excess sale money. 67-5-2702 distributes excess proceeds after confirmation: tax entities, pre-sale liens, post-sale liens, then taxpayer according to interest; remainder goes through Tennessee unclaimed-property process
These rules are set by Tennessee, not by Darden, so this section is the same for every place in the state. Last verified 2026-09-25. See the full Tennessee entry with statute links.
