County Trustee

The Shelby County Trustee serves as the county's banker and as its billing-and-collection agent for property taxes. The Trustee bills and collects property taxes for the county and for smaller municipalities that contract for the service (Arlington, Lakeland, Millington), settles collections by the tenth of each month, invests county funds, and administers tax-relief programs for senior, disabled, and veteran property owners. Duties are set by the Tennessee Constitution and state law; the office is limited to two consecutive four-year terms.
