TELL CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE “NO” ON THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE!
Last month, Memphis Mayor Paul Young announced he wants to increase property taxes by 28%. This increase would mean higher costs for homeowners, renters, and small businesses who are already struggling with high interest rates and inflation.
While we are trying to attract new investment in Memphis, a tax increase would do the exact opposite. Potential and current homebuyers and businesses in Shelby County are already choosing to relocate to other nearby municipalities in large part due to the tax rate differences. Raising taxes will drive more people and businesses out of Memphis and stop others from coming here.
Tell your City Council Member that it’s time for Memphis to show fiscal restraint and reject the tax increase to Keep Memphis Competitive!
For reference, here are the 2023 tax rates in major Tennessee cities.
