Data Story
About Property Taxes in Carroll County, Tennessee
Carroll's taxes rank low nationally
At 0.663%, Carroll County's effective tax rate runs well below the national median of roughly 0.85%, putting homeowners in a favorable position compared to most U.S. counties. The median property tax here is $809 annually—less than a third of the national median of $2,690—because home values are lower across the region.
Above average for Tennessee
Carroll County's 0.663% effective rate ranks above Tennessee's state average of 0.511%, placing it in the higher-taxed tier within the state. Despite the higher rate, median taxes of $809 remain modest due to the county's lower property values compared to wealthier Tennessee counties.
Higher taxes than nearby counties
Carroll's 0.663% rate exceeds neighboring Cheatham County (0.507%) and Chester County (0.539%), making it one of the pricier options in the region. However, its median home value of $122,100 keeps annual tax bills competitive with smaller, more rural neighbors like Claiborne County.
What your tax bill looks like
On Carroll's median home value of $122,100, the annual property tax runs about $809—or roughly $74 per month. Homeowners with mortgages typically see an escrow payment closer to $889 annually, slightly higher due to mortgage servicer adjustments.
You may be overassessed
Many Carroll County homeowners are unaware that assessed values sometimes exceed fair market value, leading to overpayment. If your property taxes seem too high relative to recent comparable sales, filing an appeal with the county assessor's office can often result in a reduction.
