Apply for Tax Freeze
If you are a new applicant this year, the Tax Freeze Program will freeze your 2023 taxes based on the property tax amount for 2022.
If you were approved for the Tax Freeze Program prior to 2022, your taxes will be "frozen" based on the year of your approval.
Improvements to the primary residence (such as adding a room, carport, or garage) will result in a "proportional increase" to the frozen base tax amount. Certain land use restrictions may make a portion of the property ineligible.
To apply for Tax Freeze on 2022 taxes, please contact Trustee Customer Service at 901-222-0200 to receive an application. The deadline to apply is April 5, 2023. Signed applications must be postmarked no later than April 5, 2023 for all entities, except for the City of Memphis (the deadline for the City of Memphis is October 6, 2022). In addition, please provide a copy of your tax return or contact our office at 901-222-0200 to request an affidavit to verify income if no tax return is available.
