1. The Trustee’s Office is currently open during normal business hours, but you must call the office at (865) 273-5900 to make an appointment if you have in-person business to conduct. For your safety and the safety of others, you will not be allowed to enter the building if your temperature is above normal. You may still conduct most business with us by phone, email, Internet, and mail. If you have any questions, please call us.
2. Property Tax Freeze and Property Tax Relief application deadlines for the 2019 tax year have been extended to July 1, 2020 by the TN Governor’s Executive Order number 24 issued April 3, 2020.
