Taxes & Insurance in Maryville
Blount County's certified 2026 property tax rate is a real, sourced $1.29 per $100 of assessment, with county commissioners voting in April 2026 to hold it flat or go lower -- but a clean, single City of Maryville millage rate was NOT resolved this session, a genuine, disclosed gap.

The certified Blount County tax rate is $1.29 per $100 of assessment for 2026. County commissioners voted unanimously in April 2026 to direct the budget committee to use this rate OR GO LOWER when finalizing the 2026-27 budget, as new property reappraisals landed in mailboxes countywide -- a real, disclosed, taxpayer-favorable direction, though the final settled 2026-27 rate was not confirmed this pass.
A genuine gap: no single, confirmed City of Maryville millage rate
A clean, current, city-only millage rate (per $100 of assessed value) was not independently resolved this session -- left explicitly disclosed as a gap rather than guessed. Aggregators instead cite blended EFFECTIVE rates that combine county, city, and school-district levies, and those effective-rate figures disagree with each other (0.40% vs. 0.62%). The City of Maryville's own site directs residents to call (865) 273-3456 for confirmation -- the right next step before budgeting a specific purchase.
Tennessee's zero state income tax, and Blount County's combined sales tax
Tennessee levies no tax on wages or salaries (see the state record). Blount County's combined sales tax is cited at 9.8% -- matching Anderson County's rate (Oak Ridge) and running higher than Sullivan County's 9.25% (Bristol).
A real, mountain-adjacent insurance consideration beyond the statewide average
Tennessee's statewide average homeowners insurance premium runs $3,045-$3,408/year depending on source (see the state record). As a genuinely mountain-adjacent market -- roughly 20 miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park -- Maryville carries a real, if less frequent than in the deeper Smokies, flash-flood and terrain-related risk; Hurricane Helene's September 2024 remnants caused documented flooding at the Townsend Wye inside the national park, just a few miles from Maryville itself (Tennessee state record). Tennessee's statewide Property Tax Relief program for qualifying elderly, disabled, and veteran homeowners applies here as it does statewide -- relevant given Maryville's above-average 65-plus population share.
