NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Owning a home is something many people have worked hard for — or are still working towards — but it comes with a lot of costs. One of those expenses is property taxes, and counties across the Mid-State have tax relief programs to help some homeowners afford them.

But future funding for the 2026 tax year remains uncertain and that could hurt many people financially.

As a Nashville native, Victor Sherrell has seen his neighborhood change a lot over the years.

“In my neighborhood I see new homes and people moving out and people moving in and the value of the new home that we cannot afford,” Sherrell said.

Recently, he picked up a part-time security job to help cover extra bills. “From month to month it’s close — it’s like walking that tightrope,” he said.
