Review the question and all answer choices

A

Collected by the state

A is incorrect because while Tennessee sets the overall property tax framework, the actual collection occurs at the county level, not statewide. The state doesn't centrally collect property taxes.

B

Assessed and collected by counties

Correct Answer
C

Not applicable

C is incorrect because Tennessee does have property taxes - they're a significant revenue source for local governments funding schools, infrastructure, and services.

D

Collected federally

D is incorrect because the federal government has no role in collecting property taxes. This is a state and local government function.

Why is this correct?

B is correct because Tennessee law delegates property tax assessment and collection authority to county governments. This local administration approach is common across most states, allowing for more granular understanding of local property values and conditions.
