About the Program
Tennessee’s relief is based on a home value of up to $175,000. To qualify you have to own the property and live in it as your main residence, and meet one of three tests: a service-connected disability that causes paraplegia, permanent paralysis of both legs, loss or loss of use of two or more limbs, or legal blindness; a permanent and total service-connected disability from the VA; or a 100% total and permanent rating from being a prisoner of war. The state page doesn’t mention income limits or a deadline. You apply through your County Trustee. The page notes that the program was changed by Public Chapter No. 1065, so ask the trustee which version applies to your tax bill.
