2026 is a reappraisal year in Maury County, so many 2026 bills reflect new values. Owners inside Columbia, Spring Hill or Mount Pleasant get a separate city property tax bill from their city on top of the county bill, and Columbia's city tax is due on a different schedule, November 1 through December 15. The City of Spring Hill runs its own tax freeze for older homeowners, covering city tax only; Maury County has not adopted the freeze. Online and phone payments go through the county's payment vendor, which charges a 2.5% fee the Trustee does not keep.

When are property taxes due in Maury County?

For the 2026 bill, Maury County has one due date: February 28, 2027. Bills are mailed in October and taxes are payable from the first Monday in October (October 5, 2026) through the last day of February 2027. Partial payments are accepted, and the Trustee can set up equal monthly bank drafts on request. The Trustee accepts postmark dates. February 28, 2027 is a Sunday. The county has not said whether a payment on Monday, March 1 counts as on time, and state law adds interest on March 1, so pay by Friday, February 26, 2027, or mail the payment early enough to be postmarked by Saturday, February 27. County taxes become delinquent on March 1, 2027, when 1.5% interest is added, with another 1.5% on the first of each month after that (Tenn. Code Ann. 67-5-2010). Taxes still unpaid are turned over to the Chancery Court on April 1 of the following year, and the Trustee does not honor postmarks for that deadline.
