Criterion Property Tax Consultants will evaluate your property assessment to determine if you are paying more than your fair share of the tax burden. We are property tax experts in Tennessee. Is your Tennessee property assessment fair? If it is not and you are paying more property taxes than you should, we’ll prepare an appeal with your County Board of Equalization and Tennessee’s State Board of Equalization to work toward a negotiated reduction.

We invite you to let Criterion perform a free property review. There is no charge for us to review your property assessment to determine if a reduction is possible

We work on a contingency basis – we only get paid if you save! And we are only paid a percentage of what you save.

Since 2021, we have reviewed more than 1,500 parcels with a total appraised value of over $10 Billion and achieved a total property tax savings on these properties of more than $7.6 Million.
