Property Assessor It's BUDGET PROCESS TIME in Tennessee

Murfreesboro, TN - Rutherford County Property Tax Assessor Rob Mitchell says, "As Tennessee counties begin the annual budget process it is important to remember that we are living in a very low tax state. That does not mean that things are not expensive for lower wage earners or becoming more expensive for everyone. To use this information in order to imply that more cannot be done to address inequities or improve operational efficiencies in government would be disingenuous and harmful. What may be inferred from the numbers is that in Tennessee the government (local and state) requires a very small portion of every citizen's income in order to operate."
