Memphis residents are paying the highest property tax rate in the state; $7.21 per $100 of assessed home value. By comparison Nashville residents pay a $4.13 rate, Knoxvilles is $2.82 and Chattanoogas is $5.07.
It is wrong to impose even higher taxes on a community that is already over-taxed. Memphis families and small-businesses cannot afford government spending at these levels and even higher levels if Councilman Lowery has his way.
Help us stop this abuse of the taxpayer. Stand up to City Hall today.
