Large property tax refunds paid over time

Effective upon enactment, Tennessee counties and cities can settle property tax refunds over $500,000 through yearly credits instead of cash. Credits must go toward future property taxes on the same parcel or parcels involved in the dispute. This option requires a written settlement of a dispute filed under Tennessee Code Annotated §§ 67-5-1412, 67-5-1501, or 67-5-1511. The taxpayer gives up refund penalties and interest; both stop accruing, and previously accrued interest is no longer owed. The local government's chief elected official and the taxpayer or authorized representative must sign. The agreement must reach the state comptroller within 30 days after all parties sign. Full repayment is due within 10 years after all parties sign. The local government must already have authority to accept property tax prepayments and partial payments. The installment option ends June 30, 2041.
