Quick Answer
Where do I search Shelby County Tennessee property records?

Use the official Shelby County Assessor real property search at https://www.assessormelvinburgess.com/propertySearch. You can search by address, owner name, business name or parcel number. For address searches, the Assessor’s search page specifically says not to enter street direction or suffix. Use the Trustee for property tax bills and payments, and use the Register of Deeds / ReGIS map for deed-linked property records, aerial view, sales data and deed information.

Shelby County Property Assessor Search — Which Official Link Should You Use First?

Use this router before opening random property websites. Shelby County property tasks are split between the Assessor, Trustee, Register of Deeds and Board of Equalization. Picking the right official path saves time and prevents wrong-office calls.

I have a street address

Use the Assessor real property search. Enter street number and street name only. Do not enter direction or suffix when using the address search.

Open property search

I have owner name

Use owner-name search with first name and last name. If results are too broad or missing, try one name at a time and confirm by address or parcel number.

Search by owner

I have parcel number

Use parcel number search for the cleanest exact result when you have a tax bill, deed, prior property card, appraisal notice or map record.

Search by parcel

I need deed, sales or map data

Use Shelby County Register of Deeds ReGIS. It searches by address, owner or parcel and can show aerial view, surrounding parcels, assessment, sales, deeds and tax information.

Open ReGIS map

I need tax bill or payment

Use the Shelby County Trustee for tax lookup, pay taxes, print bill, print receipt, tax freeze, tax relief and delinquent tax questions.

Open tax lookup

I disagree with value

Use informal review first if appropriate, then file with the Shelby County Board of Equalization during the open appeal period.

What You Can Find

What Shows in a Shelby County Property Assessor Record

The official property record helps users understand how the Assessor identifies, classifies and appraises property. ReGIS and Trustee links can add deed, sales and tax-payment context, but each office has a different legal role.

1

Owner name

Public owner or entity name as shown in Assessor records.

2

Property address

The situs or physical address used to identify the parcel.

3

Parcel number

The identifier used across Assessor, Trustee and map workflows.

4

Appraisal value

The Assessor’s appraised/market-related value used for assessment work.

5

Assessment details

Classification and assessment details used for property tax purposes.

6

Sales data

Sales information may be available through Assessor resources or ReGIS.

7

Deed links

ReGIS can connect selected parcels with deed-related information.

8

Tax information

County and municipal tax information can be routed through Trustee and ReGIS tools.

Important limit: The Assessor’s record is not a title policy, boundary survey, tax receipt, legal deed certification or appraisal for lending. Use the Trustee for tax payment status and the Register of Deeds for recorded real estate documents.

Tax Records

Shelby County Property Tax Records — Trustee Tax Lookup, Due Date, Payment and Interest

The Assessor values and classifies property. The Trustee collects county and many municipal property taxes, provides tax lookup, accepts payments, prints bills and receipts, and handles tax relief/tax freeze applications.

Assessor questions

Call the Assessor at 901-222-7001 for property search, appraisal, parcel data, classification, reappraisal, personal property and value questions.

Trustee questions

Call the Trustee at 901-222-0200 for tax lookup, payment, print bill, print receipt, tax freeze, tax relief, tax sale and delinquent tax questions.

When taxes are due

Shelby County Trustee guidance says taxes are due and payable the first Monday of October each year, and the deadline to pay taxes is the last day in February of the following calendar year.

Delinquency and interest

Taxes become delinquent on March 1 after the February deadline. Interest of 1.5% of base tax is added to unpaid balances on March 1 and continues on the first day of each following month until paid in full.

Mailing payment detail: Mailed payments should be postmarked on or before the last day in February to avoid interest. The Trustee page lists the mailing payee as Regina Morrison Newman or Shelby County Trustee and provides a Trustee P.O. Box payment address.

GIS and ReGIS

Shelby County GIS Map and ReGIS Property Search — Address, Owner, Parcel, Sales, Deeds and Taxes

Shelby County has two highly useful map-style paths. The Assessor provides GIS search by address, owner name and parcel number. The Register of Deeds ReGIS map lets customers search any property in Shelby County by address, owner or parcel number and view related property information.

Assessor GIS map

Use the Assessor GIS map when you need parcel location, owner, property details, map layers and Assessor-controlled map context.

Open Assessor GIS

Register of Deeds ReGIS

Use ReGIS when you want aerial view, surrounding parcels, assessment information, sales data, deeds, county tax information and municipal tax information in one map-style tool.

Open ReGIS map

Most recent property records

The Register of Deeds map also links to the most recent property records search. Use it when deed or record-document timing matters.

Open recent records search

Map accuracy warning

GIS and ReGIS tools are public information resources, not legal surveys. Use recorded plats, deed records and licensed professionals for boundary or title disputes.

Value Appeal

Shelby County Property Value Appeal — Informal Review and Board of Equalization

If you disagree with the Assessor’s valuation, start by reviewing the property record and asking for an informal review when appropriate. If the issue is not resolved, a formal appeal can be filed with the Shelby County Board of Equalization during the appeal period.

1

Review the property record first

Check parcel number, address, owner name, property class, building characteristics, land size, improvements, sales history and appraisal value before filing.

2

Contact the Assessor for informal review

A property owner may request an informal review with the Assessor for questions about appraisal amount or classification. This can correct simple issues before a formal hearing.

3

Collect evidence

Use comparable sales, incorrect property characteristics, photos, repair issues, appraisal evidence, condition problems, commercial income/rent details or other documentation that explains why value/classification should change.

4

File with the Board of Equalization on time

The official Shelby County Board of Equalization page says appeals of 2025 property assessments may be filed from May 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026. A disputed assessment generally must be appealed to the County Board of Equalization or it becomes final for that year.

5

Understand the possible outcome

An appeal may result in the assessment increasing, decreasing or remaining unchanged. Hearings are scheduled starting in June, and hearing date notices are sent at least two weeks before the scheduled date.

Appeal route: Use the official Shelby County Board of Equalization page for filing methods, deadlines, forms and procedures.

Tax Help

Shelby County Tax Relief, Tax Freeze, Wheel Tax Rebate and Senior Property Tax Help

Shelby County tax assistance programs are handled through the Trustee, not the Assessor. These programs can be very important for seniors, disabled taxpayers, veterans and qualifying homeowners, but the deadlines and eligibility rules must be verified each tax year.

Tax Relief Program

The Trustee’s Tax Relief Program provides money to pay all or part of local property taxes for low-income seniors age 65 and older, disabled taxpayers and veterans. For the 2025 tax year, the listed application deadline is April 5, 2026.

Open Tax Relief

Tax Freeze Program

The Tax Freeze Program was established by the Shelby County Commission to freeze property taxes for qualifying seniors age 65 and older. For the 2025 tax year, the Trustee lists an April 5, 2026 county deadline, with a separate City of Memphis deadline noted on the official page.

Open Tax Freeze

Wheel Tax Program

The Trustee’s community outreach page describes a Wheel Tax Program for seniors age 65 and older or disabled taxpayers that provides a $50 annual reimbursement of the County Wheel Tax.

Troubleshooting

Common Problems When Searching Shelby County Property Records

If the Shelby County property search does not show the expected record, the problem is usually address formatting, owner-name formatting, parcel mismatch, deed update timing, wrong office routing or confusing city/county tax information.

1

Address search returns no result

Do not enter street direction or suffix. Use street number and street name only. Remove N, S, E, W, St, Ave, Rd, Dr, city, ZIP and unit number.

2

Owner search does not match

Try first name and last name separately. Search business name if the property is owned by an LLC, trust, corporation, church, nonprofit or estate.

3

Tax payment is missing

Use the Trustee, not the Assessor. The Trustee handles payment posting, print receipt, tax bill and delinquency questions.

4

Ownership looks outdated

Use the Register of Deeds search and ReGIS map to check deed-related activity. Ownership changes require legal documentation and may update across offices on different timelines.

5

Appraisal value seems wrong

Review characteristics, sales, classification, land size and improvements. Contact the Assessor for informal review, then file with the Board of Equalization if needed and timely.
