How are property lines on the property maps determined, and what purpose do they serve?
Property lines along with the maps they are associated with are generated in the local county office of the Assessor of Property, and are based upon detailed property descriptions on deeds and by using surveys created by a licensed surveyor. The data is collected for property tax assessment purposes only and does not represent legal descriptions of property nor does it establish boundary lines. Who is responsible for maintaining and correcting property maps? In most counties in Tennessee, the local county Assessor of Property’s office is responsible for maintaining the property maps. While this Viewer makes every effort to make the best available data accessible to the public, the local Assessor’s office is always going to be the most accurate and up to date source for assessment information. Here is a link to contact information for local Assessor offices in Tennessee.
