A resolution to amend the Tennessee constitution and prohibit the General Assembly from permitting a statewide property tax in the state has been scheduled for consideration in the House Finance, Ways and Means Subcommittee on Wednesday, April 2nd.
The state of Tennessee has not enforced a statewide property tax since 1949, instead relying on sales tax for its primary income.
Currently, the Tennessee Constitution allows for the legislature to reinstate that statewide property tax with just one piece of legislation.
