Stockard on the Stump: Special session talk on tax appraisals rears its head

Tennessee lawmakers are considering a special session to change property appraisal laws concerning Nashville's Lower Broadway bars, with proposals including basing taxes on purchase price rather than current value. While officials acknowledged the issue, sources suggest the chances of holding such a special session this year are slim to none due to logistical challenges and approaching elections. The state Constitution requires that all properties be treated for tax purposes in an equal and uniform manner.
