Find Shelby County Memphis Appraisals, Parcel IDs and 2026 Property Taxes
The Shelby County Assessor of Property establishes the appraised and assessed values used for property taxation throughout Shelby County, including Memphis. The Shelby County Trustee separately bills and collects county property tax, while properties inside Memphis can also receive a separate City of Memphis real-estate tax bill.
This 2026 guide shows how to search by address, owner, business name or parcel number; read appraisal and assessment details; understand Tennessee’s 25%, 30% and 40% assessment ratios; check county and Memphis taxes separately; find deeds and mortgages; review senior Tax Freeze and Tax Relief; and understand what remains possible after the 2026 county appeal filing period.

What Shelby County and Memphis Property Owners Should Know Right Now
The regular 2026 Shelby County Board of Equalization filing period is closed. Real-property appeals were accepted May 1 through June 30, 2026. The Board’s 2026 special-session hearings began July 13 and continue as needed for properly filed appeals.
2025 countywide reappraisal
Shelby County completed its most recent four-year real-property reappraisal in 2025. The next countywide reappraisal is scheduled for 2029.
Memphis city tax due soon
The City of Memphis 2026 property-tax rate is $2.58081 per $100 assessed value. The 2026 city bill is due August 31, 2026.
County tax has a later calendar
Shelby County property tax becomes payable in the fall and remains separate from the City of Memphis bill.
If the property is inside Memphis, one Assessor value can feed two separate property-tax bills: Shelby County tax collected by the Trustee and City of Memphis tax collected by the city Treasury. Paying one does not automatically pay the other.
Current Memphis deadline: 2026 City of Memphis property taxes become delinquent after August 31. The city adds 1.5% monthly interest beginning September 1, 2026.

How to Search the Shelby County Assessor of Property
Open the official Real Property Search.
Go to Shelby County Assessor Real Property Search.
Choose one search method.
Current options are Address, Owner Name, Business Name and Parcel Number.
For address searches, enter the street number and street name.
The Assessor specifically instructs users not to enter a street direction or suffix.
Example of address simplification.
If the address is “123 N Main Street,” begin with street number 123 and street name MAIN rather than entering N or Street.
For an owner search, use first and last name.
If no match appears, simplify the name and verify whether the property is held in a trust, estate or company.
Use Business Name for an LLC or corporate owner.
This avoids forcing an entity into an individual-name search.
Use Parcel Number when available.
The Parcel ID is the strongest identifier when moving between Assessor, Trustee, city-tax and Register systems.
Open the correct result.
Match Property Address, Parcel ID and Owner Name before using any value.
Open Property/Assessment Details.
Review classification, assessment, appraisal and property characteristics.
Use the linked county tax, city tax and deed routes.
The Assessor GIS result can act as the central hub after the correct parcel has been identified.
Fast Memphis workflow: Assessor search → copy Parcel ID → open County Tax → open City Tax if inside Memphis → open Deed Information only when legal-record research is needed.

What the 2025 Reappraisal Means for Shelby County in 2026
2025
Shelby County completed its latest countywide reappraisal of real property.
January 1, 2026
The 2026 assessment year uses the property’s legally relevant status and current Assessor record.
2026 updates
New construction, additions, corrections, ownership changes and classification issues can still affect individual parcels.
2029
Next scheduled countywide four-year reappraisal.
2026 is not another countywide reappraisal year. A parcel can still change because of new construction, corrected data or another property-specific event.
Why reappraisal matters: reappraisal updates market values across the county. It does not by itself set the county or municipal property-tax rate; those rates are adopted separately.
How Shelby County Converts Appraised Value to Assessed Value
Residential
Owner-occupied and other residential real property is generally assessed at 25%.
Farm
Farm real property uses a 25% assessment ratio.
Commercial
Commercial real property is assessed at 40%.
Industrial
Industrial real property is assessed at 40%.
Personalty
Tangible personal property is assessed at 30%.
Appraised value
Estimated market value
×
Assessment ratio
25%, 30% or 40%

Tax rate ÷ 100
County or municipal rate
Residential example: a home appraised at $300,000 has an assessed value of $75,000 because $300,000 × 25% = $75,000.

Choose the property classification, enter the appraised value and use the applicable tax rate.
Memphis City Tax and Shelby County Tax Are Separate
Channel 1
Shelby County Property Tax
CountyCollected by Shelby County Trustee Regina Morrison Newman. The county rate is adopted separately from Memphis’s municipal rate.
- Uses Shelby County Assessor value.
- Search by county property record.
- County payment deadline extends into the following February.
- County Tax Relief and Tax Freeze are administered through the Trustee.
Channel 2
City of Memphis Property Tax
$2.580812026 city rate per $100 of assessed value. The 2026 Memphis property-tax due date is August 31, 2026.
- Uses assessment certified by Shelby County Assessor.
- Separate Memphis tax bill.
- 1.5% monthly interest starts Sept. 1 if unpaid.
- City payment and senior quarterly programs are separate from county programs.
Never assume the amount shown on one tax portal is the total property-tax burden for a Memphis parcel. Check both the Shelby County Trustee and City of Memphis tax systems.
Illustrative Memphis city calculation: $300,000 residential appraisal × 25% = $75,000 assessment. At the 2026 Memphis rate of $2.58081 per $100, the basic city tax calculation is approximately $1,935.61 before any applicable adjustments or relief.
How to Search Shelby County Property Taxes
Open Tax Look-Up.
Use the official Shelby County Trustee Tax Look-Up.
Search the correct property.
Use the Parcel ID copied from the Assessor whenever possible.
Verify Primary Owner and Location.
Do not rely on a matching surname alone.
Review Tax Due, Interest, Fees and Balance.
These fields show whether the account is currently paid or delinquent.
Open Billing History.
Review year, taxing authority, tax due, interest, fees, total and assessment.
Print the notice or receipt you need.
Use an actual Trustee tax record for proof of county-tax status.
Check older years.
A property can have a current paid year while an older delinquency or legal action requires separate attention.
Useful Trustee shortcuts: current property pages can connect to the legal description, Register GIS and Assessor GIS, making the Parcel ID a practical bridge between systems.
How to Look Up the Memphis City Property Tax
Open City of Memphis Property Tax Lookup.
Use Memphis ePayments Property Tax.
Choose a search method.
The city allows Tax Bill Number and Year, Parcel Number, Property Owner Name or Property Address.
Parcel Number is usually the cleanest route.
Copy the Parcel ID from the Assessor before opening the city lookup.
Select or review 2026.
Confirm assessment, millage rate, tax bill number, tax assessed, interest/penalty, other charges and total due.
Check payment history.
City detail pages allow year-by-year review of posted payments.
Do not use the internet balance as a legal closing payoff.
The city warns that online data may lag and directs users needing a final closing balance to call the Treasury information line.
2026 deadline: Memphis city taxes are due August 31, 2026. Interest of 1.5% of unpaid tax accrues monthly beginning September 1.
Closing or payoff question? Call the Memphis Treasury information line at 901-522-1111 instead of relying solely on yesterday’s online balance.
Memphis and Shelby County 2026 Property-Tax Deadlines
BOE filing closed
Last regular day to file a 2026 Shelby County real-property assessment appeal.
BOE hearings
2026 special-session assessment hearings began and continue as necessary.

County delinquency: unpaid Shelby County taxes become delinquent March 1. The Trustee states that interest is charged at 1.5% of base tax per month beginning in March.
Check the actual 2026 county bill for weekend-processing instructions. Do not assume an electronic or mailed payment extension merely because the last calendar day of February falls on a weekend.
How to Pay Shelby County and Memphis Property Taxes
Shelby County Trustee
County taxes can be paid through the Trustee’s approved online system, by mail and through available Trustee payment locations.
- eCheck processing fee: $1.50.
- Credit/debit processing fee: 2.6%.
- Processor fees are not retained by the Trustee.
- Mail checks or money orders to Shelby County Trustee, P.O. Box 2751, Memphis, TN 38101-2751.
City of Memphis Treasury
Memphis city taxes can be paid online, by telephone, by mail and through designated in-person options.
- Online: Memphis ePayments.
- Phone: 901-636-7200.
- Mail: City of Memphis Treasury, P.O. Box 185, Memphis, TN 38101-0185.
- In person: City Hall Treasury services.
Verify the successful transaction. Keep the electronic confirmation and recheck the tax account after processing, especially when paying near a delinquency deadline.
Shelby County Tax Freeze and Property Tax Relief
County Tax Freeze
Designed for qualifying senior homeowners who meet age, ownership, primary-residence and household-income requirements.
Freeze income reference
The current Trustee eligibility page references a $61,920 income ceiling using the applicable 2024 income period for the 2026 filing.
Senior / disabled Tax Relief
Current Trustee guidance references a $37,530 household-income ceiling for qualifying senior and totally/permanently disabled applicants.
2026 filing deadline
The current county Tax Freeze and Tax Relief application deadline for the 2026 cycle was April 5, 2026 and has passed.
Freeze is not the same as Tax Relief. Tax Freeze limits qualifying county tax growth according to program rules. Tax Relief pays all or part of qualifying taxes and does not have to be repaid.
Current senior Freeze rule: the Trustee states that a qualifying new applicant’s 2026 taxes are frozen using the 2025 property-tax amount as the program base, subject to program rules and proportional increases for improvements.
Memphis municipal relief is separate. The Shelby County Trustee explains that the county office does not administer municipal Tax Relief for Memphis. Contact Memphis Treasury for city-side assistance.
Shelby County Tax Freeze
Check eligibility, current filing status and next application instructions.
Shelby County Tax Relief
Review senior, disabled and veteran-related relief routes.
Memphis senior quarterly-payment option
Qualifying Memphis homeowners age 65 or older may use the city’s quarterly-payment program when they own and occupy the residence and do not have delinquent property taxes or charges. The city lists installments on August 31, November 30, February 28 and May 31 and does not impose an income requirement for this payment program.
Shelby County Assessment Appeal Path After June 30
Assessor review
Verify appraisal, classification and property characteristics.
County BOE
Regular 2026 filing was May 1 through June 30.
Board hearing
Timely-filed 2026 cases are being heard during the Board’s special session.
State Board
A qualifying further appeal generally uses the later of Aug. 1 or 45 days after county-board notice.
2026 valuation date
The county’s current real-property appeal form asks for the owner’s opinion of market value as of January 1, 2026.
No county filing fee
Shelby County currently charges no fee to file a Board of Equalization property appeal.
Board can move value either way
The Board can affirm, decrease or increase an assessment based on the record and evidence.
Evidence that addresses the actual appeal question
- Parcel ID
- 2026 property record
- Owner’s market-value opinion
- Comparable arm’s-length sales
- Recent appraisal
- Building-size evidence
- Condition photographs
- Repair estimates
- Classification evidence
- Written explanation of unequal treatment
Weak appeal arguments: another parcel’s assessment, the percentage increase alone, personal financial hardship or simply saying the tax bill is too high generally does not establish the property’s correct market value.
Tax status matters: the 2026 county appeal form warns that minimum prior-year undisputed taxes must be current and that delinquent taxes can prevent a hearing.
Further State Board appeal: after a county Board decision, Tennessee generally allows appeal to the State Board of Equalization by August 1 of the tax year or within 45 days of the date the county-board decision notice was sent, whichever is later.
“I am reviewing Shelby County Parcel ID __________ for tax year 2026. The Assessor’s appraised value is __________ and my supported January 1, 2026 market value is __________. My evidence includes __________. Please confirm my Board hearing status, decision date and any remaining State Board deadline.”
How to Find Memphis Deeds, Mortgages, Liens and Recorded Property Records
Online document search
Search recorded instruments by name, instrument number, book/page, file number, property information and other index fields.
Register GIS
Search by address, owner, parcel or tax map and view assessment, sales, deed and tax-related information in one mapping environment.
Certified record
Use the Register when an actual recorded document is required rather than relying only on an Assessor ownership display.
Copy the Parcel ID and owner name from the Assessor.
This gives you a reliable starting point.
Open the Register document search.
Use Shelby County Register Property Search.
Choose the most precise search type.
Name, instrument number, book/page and file number are useful when those details are known.
Parcel ID and lot search has a special input rule.
The Register instructs users not to enter dashes or spaces when using its parcel-ID field.
Simplify address searches.
The Register advises leaving off street directions and street types; search MAIN rather than N MAIN ST.
Check later documents.
A recorded mortgage or lien does not prove there was no later release, reconveyance or satisfaction.
Assessment ownership is not a legal title opinion. For a purchase, probate, boundary, lien or ownership dispute, use the recorded instruments and obtain professional title/legal help when needed.
Shelby County Tangible Personal Property Search and Assessment
Who files
Businesses with taxable tangible personal property report machinery, equipment, furniture and other assessable business assets.
Assessment ratio
Tennessee tangible personal property is generally assessed at 30% of appraised value.
Annual process
Personal property is appraised annually rather than waiting for the four-year real-property reappraisal.
Do not use a residential real-estate search to solve a business-personalty assessment problem. Use the Assessor’s Personal Property section and current-year schedule or forced-assessment correction route.
How to Correct a Shelby County Property Tax Mailing Address
Shelby County tax mailing
The Trustee provides an address-change process using owner details and the Parcel ID for the affected property.
Memphis city tax mailing
City tax guidance instructs property owners to have the change processed through Shelby County assessment records before the city mailing record is updated.
A mailing-address change does not add or remove an owner. Legal ownership changes require the correct deed or other recorded instrument through the Register of Deeds.
Open Trustee Address Change
Prepare the Parcel ID, owner name, contact information and the correct mailing address.
Memphis and Shelby County Property Checklist by Situation
| Situation | Records to check | Best next action |
|---|---|---|
| Buying a Memphis home | Parcel ID, appraisal, assessment, county tax, Memphis tax, deed, mortgage and liens. | Check both tax authorities and recorded title before closing. |
| Current Memphis homeowner | 2025 reappraisal, 2026 assessment, city bill and county bill. | Pay Memphis by Aug. 31 and separately track county tax. |
| Property outside Memphis | Assessor parcel, county tax and applicable municipality. | Do not assume a City of Memphis bill applies. |
| Owner age 65+ | Primary residence, ownership, income and prior Tax Freeze status. | Check county Freeze and separate Memphis senior payment/relief programs. |
| 2026 BOE appellant | Filed appeal, evidence, hearing notice and Board decision. | Track State Board deadline after county action. |
| Mortgage escrow customer | County Trustee receipt, Memphis city receipt and lender disbursement. | Verify which bills the escrow account actually paid. |
| Commercial property owner | 40% classification, appraisal, assessment, taxes and leases/income evidence. | Confirm classification before calculating taxes or appealing. |
| Deed or lien researcher | Parcel ID, owner names, instrument number, book/page and later releases. | Use the Register rather than treating Assessor ownership as a title search. |

Shelby County Assessor Search Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Practical fix | Correct office |
|---|---|---|
| Address search finds nothing | Remove street direction and suffix; use number plus basic street name. | Assessor |
| Owner name returns nothing | Check whether title is in a trust, estate, LLC or business and use Business Name when appropriate. | Assessor |
| Need exact parcel | Use Parcel Number search and save the Parcel ID across all later searches. | Assessor |
| Appraisal seems much larger than taxable assessment | That can be normal; residential property uses a 25% assessment ratio. | Assessor |
| Paid county tax but Memphis still shows a balance | City and county bills are separate; pay or verify Memphis through city Treasury. | Memphis Treasury |
| Paid Memphis but county still shows a balance | Memphis city payment does not satisfy the Shelby County Trustee bill. | County Trustee |
| Need proof county taxes are paid | Print Trustee tax history or receipt, not the Assessor page. | Trustee |
| Need final Memphis closing balance | Call 901-522-1111 because the city warns internet data should not be relied on for a final closing payoff. | Memphis Treasury |
| Missed June 30 appeal deadline | Do not assume the regular Board can accept a late filing; ask about any statutory exception applicable to the facts. | Board of Equalization |
| Already received county Board decision | Calculate the Tennessee State Board deadline immediately from the notice date. | State Board |
| Need deed or mortgage | Use Register search by owner, instrument, book/page, file number, parcel/lot or address. | Register of Deeds |
| Parcel ID fails on Register search | When using the Register’s parcel-ID field, remove dashes and spaces. | Register |
| Senior Freeze missing | Check whether the 2026 application was timely and whether income, age, ownership and primary-residence requirements were met. | Trustee |
| Mailing address is wrong | Use the county address-change process; record a deed only if legal ownership itself must change. | Trustee / Assessor |

Qualifying senior homeowners may be eligible for Shelby County Tax Freeze or Tennessee Property Tax Relief administered through the Trustee. The 2026 county application deadline was April 5, 2026. Memphis also offers a separate quarterly-payment option for qualifying homeowners age 65 or older, so county and city programs should be checked separately.
