Homeowners: Prepare for higher property tax bills

 David Plazas, dplazas@tennessean.com6:02 a.m. CDT August 7, 2016

Now is the time for citizens to become engaged, educated and proactive to save their homes.

There is a looming housing challenge that will touch middle-class people in Nashville, and it requires the urgent attention of city leaders, residents and homeowners.

That challenge is Davidson County's quadrennial property reappraisal in 2017, which will lead to substantial property tax increases for homeowners in the parts of town where home values have risen the most.

The rise of property values is generally a good thing for homeowners, and Davidson home values areestimated by the county Property Assessor's Officeto have grown on average between 33 percent and 37 percent from the last reappraisal in 2013.

That growth along with new construction will almost certainly create a windfall for Metro Nashville-Davidson government, where 49 percent of the city's operating budget revenue presently comes from property tax revenue.

However, Nashville's property taxation system is directly tied to home values, which means if a house in a hot area of town has doubled, so will the tax bill.

(Calculate your tax bill using the Assessor's Office tax estimator at www.padctn.org.)

That does not bode well for financially strapped or longtime residents who purchased their homes in the pre-gentrification and pre-boom eras. They may not be able to afford to stay in their homes.

A new wave of neighborhood displacement could ensue, which is ironic in a city whose residents, through the NashvilleNext planning process, and Mayor Megan Barry have declared affordable housing a top concern.

Nashville Is Officially The Friendliest City In America

And the rudest city might surprise you.

Ever wonder where you'll find the rudest and friendliest cities in America?

For the eighth year in a row, Travel + Leisure has scoured the country asking Americans about their experiences in major U.S. cities with populations over 100,000 people. The publication asked visitors about their perceptions of local style, the overall safety of the city, its access to cultural attractions, delicious dining experiences and ― you guessed it ― how friendly the locals were.

Travel + Leisure acquired 50,000 votes to rank 38 cities throughout the country. So trust us ― and 50,000 other Americans â€• when we tell you that even though Miami's beaches are inviting, the city may not always be. The results are in, and...

America's Rudest City:

Miami bumped out last year's winner, New York City, to take the not-so coveted title of Rudest City in America. Yes, locals are tan and toned with some of the best food and culture in the nation, but visitors reported to Travel + Leisure that the city's residents were less than welcoming. Warning: Proceed to the beach at your own risk.

On the other end of the spectrum, Nashville was voted the Friendliest City in America. And let's be honest, we're not surprised. Nashville has music to fill your soul, BBQ to fill your belly, a fun nightlife and undeniable Southern charm. 

Visitors told Travel + Leisure they loved the music and food in this Tennessee hotspot, and its welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed. Nashville locals were eager to share their home with newbies, a quality that undoubtedly helped the city take the top spot.

So there you have it! Whether you're traveling for food, weather or a cultural attraction, pay attention to the way locals treat you. You might be surprised at what you find.
