If you’ve lived in Nashville for the past several years, you’ve likely seen the city grow—fast. Along with a booming population, property values have soared. In fact, the median sales price of a single-family home in Davidson County has risen nearly 43 percent, from $346,500 in March 2020 to $495,000 in March 2025, according to data from Realtracs.
To reflect these changes, Davidson County conducts a property reappraisal every four years. This process involves a comprehensive, multi-year review of every parcel in the county, followed by a countywide revaluation in the fourth year. The results from the latest reappraisal were finalized and mailed to property owners on Friday, April 18, 2025, by the Office of the Assessor of Property.
According to the Assessor’s Office, the median property value across the county increased by 45 percent since the last reappraisal in 2021. These figures underscore the continued strength of Nashville’s real estate market and the long-term value of homeownership in our city.
The Assessor’s Office has also released a heat map, available at nashville.gov, showing the median percentage increase in appraised values across all Metro Council districts—ranging from 38 to 54 percent. Southwest Davidson County, including areas such as Bellevue, Belle Meade, Oak Hill, and Forest Hills, saw the steepest increases, with some neighborhoods experiencing jumps of more than 50 percent.
Naturally, with such significant changes in value, some property owners may have questions about their individual assessments. If you believe your new property value is incorrect or unfair, you have the right to appeal. The Assessor’s Office recommends filing an online appeal at padctn.org or calling 615-862-6059. The deadline to request an informal review is May 9, 2025.
While a rise in assessed value doesn’t automatically raise your tax bill, it would likely result in higher payments if paired with a proposed property tax rate increase. Any citywide tax hike would require approval by the Metro Council before taking effect.
For now, this reappraisal serves as another reminder of Nashville’s growing real estate market—and the importance of staying informed as a property owner.
