How to pay both property tax bills, and what tools can help
Independent service, not a tax office. We link to each office so you can pay there.
You pay Memphis property tax directly to each office: the City of Memphis bill through the City's ePayments site, and the Shelby County bill through the Shelby County Trustee, online or with the payit901 app. ClearParcels is an independent service that prepares one $29 report covering the City of Memphis and Shelby County Trustee bills for an address, so you can see what each office shows before you pay. Paying one bill does not pay the other. A parcel inside the City of Memphis can get both, so check yours.

What these tools don't check
A payment tool pays the payee and the amount you give it. It does not tell you whether an address has one bill or two, or what each office shows right now. That part is up to you, or to a report.
