Greenbelt refers to Tennessee's Agricultural, Forest, and Open Space Land Act of 1976. It allows agriculture, forest, and open space land to be assessed at present use value rather than market value for tax purposes.
Reappraisal happens under Tennessee state law, which requires counties to periodically update property values to reflect the current market. This corrects inequities that build up over time as the real estate market shifts.
Contact the Assessor's Office to verify your property details. If everything looks accurate but you still disagree with the valuation, you can begin an appeal with the County Board of Equalization, which meets June 1 each year.
Properties are viewed at least once every four years. Your property could be visited more often if there are additions, demolitions, or a Greenbelt application on file.

In a criminal case, you'll be given an Affidavit of Indigency Form to determine if you qualify for a court-appointed attorney. For civil cases, contact Legal Services to see if you qualify for assistance.
Yes, an aerial view is available through the Tennessee Property Viewer. Keep in mind these maps are not legal boundary lines. Boundary disputes require a licensed surveyor and, if needed, a court of law.
