Murfreesboro Property Taxes Due Dec. 31st

Oct 01, 2014 at 03:03 pm by bryan


City property taxes are due by Dec. 31. Finance Director and City Recorder/Treasurer Melissa Wright reminds property owners to pay property taxes on time. The penalty for late payment begins accruing January 1 at the rate of 1 and ½ percent per month, or any portion of a month, applied to the base tax until they are paid.

Property taxes are owed whether the owner receives a bill or not. Property tax records can be reviewed on line by visiting Property Tax Lookup. If not paid, the bill could eventually be turned over the Rutherford County Chancery Court.

Payments may be made with cash, check, money order, or credit card. Bank counter checks or two-party checks are not accepted. Credit card payments can only be made in person. Each tax notice has a 5-digit receipt number located in the top left. This number should be written on all checks or money orders.

Payments made by mail should be made payable to the City of Murfreesboro and mailed to P.O. Box 1139, Murfreesboro, TN 37133-1139.

Payments made in person are to be made at City Hall, 1st Floor, Finance Department, 111 West Vine St., Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
