Tax pretty much ranges from 9.25% to 9.75% I'm not sure if there is a website that pin points each county.

I have a link on my website for Property Tax Rates for all counties in TN.

If you are interested in sales tax rates, you can find that information here:

Thank you both so much...guess with no state tax sales and property sales make up the difference???...but we're still looking to get out of here, were hoping by Christmas..Christmas in Tennessee, hope it snows this year!!!

Hi Ron,

I wanted to clarify that the tax chart I gave you the link for is for local city or county sales tax rates. That does not include the blanket State sales tax rate.

The State tax is 6% on food and food ingredients; 7% on all other tangible personal property.

Local tax - set by the local government (which is the link I provided.)

You need to add the State Tax rate to the local rate. It does vary some, but basically TN sales tax is going to be around 9.75% total.

Does anyone know if any other states pay a tax on food? I've lived in Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Arizona and now Florida. I don't think I've ever had to pay tax on food.

Several state charge a small percentage of tax on food. Unfortunately TN charges the full tax which IMHO is very hard for those on a fixed income. Everyone has to eat. BTW, Arizona does charge a small tax on food.

No arizona don't do that.but we have the state tax right.would be about the same thing.

I think I read somewhere that NC doesn't tax food as a state, but that counties could. And the counties just across the boarder from me do charge 2%. VA charges around 2.5%. AL charges, but I'm not sure how much it is now. And while in St. Louis in May/June I bought milk and snacks and was charged some tax.
