Property Tax Bills Across Anderson County, Tennessee

Property tax bills in Anderson County are based on the assessed value of a home and the local tax rate set by taxing authorities. The county’s median home price is $130,600, and that value helps determine how much a homeowner may owe each year. When a property’s assessed value rises, the tax bill can increase as well, even if the home is not sold.

What a homeowner pays also depends on where the property is located within the county and which local services are funded by property taxes. In Anderson County, the 25th percentile tax bill is $453, while the 75th percentile is $1,196 and the 90th percentile reaches $1,771. That means bills can vary widely from one home to another.
