Please realize the Property Assessor’s office is eager to assist you in any way we can. My door is open to any and all citizens of Knox County. Your home is likely the biggest and most important investment you make. We are conscious of the fact that we work for you. My staff is extremely competent and hardworking. I have a deep respect for this office and the service it provides for the constituents of this county. I have dedicated many years of my adult life working in this office in different capacities, and I am proud to say that I am the only assessor in the State of Tennessee to have achieved the highest designations offered by the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO). My name is John Whitehead. It is my distinct honor and privilege to serve you as Property Assessor. Failure to appeal to the County Board of Equalization will result in the values and the classification being final for tax year 2022. The Board will meet in the Old Courthouse at 300 Main Street. Every effort will be made to accommodate all appeals to the County Board. You must schedule an appointment by calling (865) 215-2006 beginning Wednesday, through Wednesday, June 29, 2022. If you believe the listed value of your parcel does not reflect the fair market value or classification of your property, you may appeal to the County Board of Equalization. Whether you filed an Informal Appeal or not during our Informal Appeals process, it is your right to appeal the value or classification of your property to the Knox County Board of Equalization if you so choose. Reclassification as a Standard Business.
