CHATTANOOGA, TN (July 29, 2025) - Today, the Kelly Administration unveiled
a proposed supplemental budget that will fund significant police and fire
pay raises while lowering the property tax rate from $2.25 to $1.99 per
$100 of assessed valuation. Residential and commercial properties are
assessed at 25% and 40% of appraised value, respectively.
The proposal would represent the largest decrease in Chattanooga’s property
tax rate in decades, while allowing the city to keep pace with 22.5%
inflation since the last revenue change in 2021.
