Property Tax Relief Available for Qualifying Nashville Homeowners
Wedgewood-Houston residents who are 65 or older, disabled, or disabled veterans may qualify for significant property tax relief through Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County's Tax Relief Program. The application window is currently open through Saturday, April 5, 2026.
Who Qualifies?
The program serves three groups of homeowners:
Seniors age 65 or older (must have turned 65 by December 31, 2025)
Disabled homeowners receiving SSA or SSI benefits
Disabled veterans rated permanently and totally disabled, and their surviving spouses
For seniors and disabled homeowners, total household income for 2024 cannot exceed $37,530. This income calculation uses a specific formula based on your federal tax return: Adjusted Gross Income (line 11) minus taxable Social Security (line 6B) plus full Social Security amount (line 6A). Veterans and their surviving spouses have no income restrictions.
What You'll Need
All applicants must provide:
Proof of age, disability, or veteran status
Proof of ownership (tax bill, deed, etc.)
Evidence the property is your principal residence (driver's license or two utility bills)
Your 2025 Reappraisal Notice from the Metropolitan Assessor
Seniors and disabled applicants must also provide 2024 income documentation, such as federal tax returns with supporting documents.
Tax Savings
Relief amounts vary by category and tax district. For 2025, elderly and disabled homeowners can receive up to $1,265.22 in the urban district, while disabled veterans and surviving spouses may receive up to $3,385.61.
Already Enrolled?
Current participants must submit their annual vouchers by April 5 to maintain enrollment.
