Steps to Stop your taxes or rent from going up.

May 17, 2012 by

In Nashville, Tennessee Mayor Karl Dean is proposing a property tax increase that will hit individuals and rentors the most. If you are a real estate investor, you understand that an extra $180 per year in taxes on every property you have will be passed on to your tenants.

 

We want to be able to keep rents in Davidson County, and the surrounding areas who tend to follow the lead tax wise, as low as possible.

 

Davidson County is already the highest tax rate in the Greater Nashville Area.

 

 

 

 

 

We are in a period of time where the average household has lost value, yet Karl Dean wants to worsen the situation by increasing taxes.

 

 

YOUR Help is needed to STOP the
BIG Nashville Property TAX HIKE
proposed by Mayor Karl Dean

 

 

Three Easy STEPS to help STOP the BIG Property Tax HIKE

 

 

1. Call YOUR Council Member

This is the MOST important step. Find your zip code in the table to the right (or the one closest to you) and leave a quick message on their machine telling them you want them to vote NO on a property tax increase. Also, you can call any of the at-large members as they represent everyone in Nashville.

If you get informative feedback from your call please let us know at feedback@nashvilleteaparty.com

 

2. Send an email to:

councilmembers@nashville.gov

This email address will deliver your email to all council members. Be polite but firm. Remember, they are coming after YOUR money so you have every right to express your opinion. Here is recommended text but use wording which best expresses your feelings:

The Subject can Read: Do Not Raise My Property Taxes

In the body of the message put your name and address and tell them this is a terrible time to raise taxes and you are opposed to any tax hike. If you get informative feedback from your email please let us know at feedback@nashvilleteaparty.com
