- Tax rate
- 34.579 mills (Sullivan County + City of Bristol, 2025)
- Estimated annual tax

About this estimateHow the figure is made and what it leaves out
Rates: Tennessee Comptroller, tax year 2025 (the 2026 rates are not loaded yet). The estimate is the county's taxable value times those rates, before exemptions; it is not a bill. The county trustee's bill is the official figure.
Tennessee 2026 county taxes: due since October 5; pay by the end of February 2027 to avoid interest.

About these ratingsFEMA's index and what it measures
Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
