NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Homeowners aren't alone in facing skyrocketing property taxes in Nashville. Re-appraisals in 2025 have some business owners re-evaluating.
Tom Morales with ACME Feed & Seed on Lower Broadway told NewsChannel 5 his property tax bill went from $129,000 dollars last year to $600,000 this year.
And this comes at a time when he says business is changing on lower broadway. He told us he ended 2025 "in the red" by a half million dollars.
Mayor Freddie O'Connell did speak to this issue recently saying a review by the state comptroller determined the valuations do, indeed, reflect market value and acknowledge that will be a challenge for some business owners.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
