The Property Assessor's office in Cookeville, TN, led by County Official Steve Pierce, is dedicated to providing property owners in Putnam County with accurate and fair appraisals. Their main objective is to achieve appraisal equalization while adhering to state guidelines, ensuring that property taxes are determined based on market values. The office works diligently to address the needs and concerns of property owners through updated procedures and employee training, aiming to deliver quality service.
Property appraisals can only change if there are modifications made to the property or during the year of reappraisal, which occurs every five years. The office is committed to compliance with state laws, and the Tennessee Division of Property Assessments audits appraised values to ensure adherence. Property owners who disagree with the market appraisal of their property can contact the Property Assessor's Office for assistance. The property tax rate, which is determined by the Putnam County Board of Commissioners, is separate from the appraisal and is based on budgetary needs and spending.
