Davidson County contains over 216,000 real estate tax parcels,  over 19,000 of which are commercial parcels.  There are also approximately 22,000 additional tangible personal property accounts.  The Assessor's Office employs over eighty (80) people of which over fifty (50) will be involved in property valuation.  

After the Assessor's appraisal estimates are completed, the next steps in the assessment and tax process are prescribed by law for which the Assessor has little control.  These steps include applying the assessment ratios or percentages to the values to make the assessments and then the application of the tax rates to the assessments in order to determine the amount of the taxes.      

As required by the State, every four (4) years the Assessor’s Office revalues all the real estate in the County.  The most recent program was completed for 2005.  The next revaluation is scheduled for 2009.  In the intervening years, the Assessor is busy doing some necessary adjustments in values, appraising new construction and new subdivisions, and doing updates in property descriptions in preparation for the next full revaluation scheduled in 2009
