About Property Taxes in Benton County, Tennessee
Benton keeps taxes well below national median

Above state average despite rural character
Benton County's 0.581% effective rate exceeds Tennessee's state average of 0.511% by about 14%, yet the low median home value of $123,400 keeps actual taxes modest at $717. It ranks among the state's more rural counties with lower absolute tax payments.
Higher rate, lower taxes than nearby counties
Benton County's 0.581% rate tops nearby Bledsoe County (0.406%) and Campbell County (0.384%), but the median tax of $717 stays lowest due to lower home values. It bridges the gap between Tennessee's more developed and most rural counties.
Median home costs just $717 yearly
A typical Benton County home valued at $123,400 generates an annual tax of approximately $717, among the lowest in the state. Homeowners with mortgages pay slightly more at $782, while those without pay around $606.
Appeal if your assessment seems high
Even in low-tax rural counties, individual homes can be overassessed relative to market conditions. If your Benton County property has lost value or you believe your assessment exceeds comparable sales, filing an appeal is a straightforward way to reduce your tax burden.
