BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – During its June 26 meeting, the Brentwood Board of Commissioners unanimously established the city’s new property tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year, and if you’ve lived in this community for the last three decades, the tax rate won’t be much of a surprise.

“This maintains the tax rate at 29 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, which is the same effective property tax rate for the 33^rd year in a row,” Kirk Bednar, Brentwood City Manager, said.

This continued rate – one of the lowest in the state – will take effect on July 1.

“This is exciting that we’ve been able to hold that rate for that many years,” Brentwood Mayor Mark Gorman said.

During Monday’s meeting, the commission also unanimously approved the city’s $98 million budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year. The vote came after the city hosted three public hearings in May and June, allowing the community to comment on the budget.
