Property tax relief sign-up continues Friday in Goodlettsville

Metropolitan Trustee Erica S. Gilmore

Older and disabled homeowners in Davidson and Sumner counties still have a chance on Friday, Sept. 25, to get in-person help applying for property tax savings.

Metropolitan Trustee Erica S. Gilmore is partnering with Sumner County for a Tax Relief and Tax Freeze enrollment event from 8 am to 3 pm, Friday at Goodlettsville City Hall, 105 S. Main St.

The statewide income limit for Tax Relief for older and disabled homeowners has increased to $38,470. Qualifying disabled veterans are not required to meet an income test.

Income limits for the Tax Freeze program for older homeowners are $63,470 in Davidson County and $48,550 in Sumner County.

“The drive downtown to our office is a major hurdle for many older homeowners, and without reliable transportation or an easy commute, people end up leaving money on the table,” Gilmore said.

“That’s why my administration travels across Davidson County every year to bring these savings directly to people’s neighborhoods, to their churches, to their community centers.”

Tax Relief and Tax Freeze specialists will assist homeowners on a first-come, first-served basis through 3 pm. No appointment is required, and applications generally take about 35 minutes to complete.

Applicants should bring a valid photo ID and all 2025 income documentation. Those who did not file a 2025 tax return should bring 2025 bank statements and income documents, including 1099 and Social Security Administration forms. Applicants seeking eligibility based on disability should also bring a disability award letter.

Additional documents may be required depending on individual circumstances.

Homeowners who cannot attend Friday still have time to apply. The deadline for the 2026 Tax Relief and Tax Freeze programs is April 5, 2027.
