Thanksgiving Schedule, November 11, 2008

Notice: The County Clerk's main office and satellite offices along with Systech Emission Testing Sites will all be closed on November 27-29 in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  We're sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.  All offices will reopen with normal business hours on Monday, December 1st. 




Important Notice, October 02, 2008
Effective July 1, 2008, Tennessee Code Annotated 8-21-701 allowed for the increase of existing fees regarding Business Tax and the origination of other fees. Such fees are as follows:
  • A $2.00 fee increase from $5.00 to $7.00 for the Business Tax recording fee per return/application, to be applied only to the County (GSD) amount due.
  • A $1.50 fee increase from $3.50 to $5.00 for County (GSD) and $5.00 for Metro (USD), if applicable, for the transfer of a Business license from one location to another. This fee will NOT be charged if the address change is made when filing the annual report form.
  • A $3.00 fee increase from $2.00 to $5.00 for certifying a copy of a document or taking an acknowledgement or affixing a seal. (Subpoenaed documents are not included)
  • A $.50 charge for copies, per page.
  • A $2.00 handling fee for refund claims submitted to this office. This fee must be remitted with the Claim for Business Tax Refund forms and is NON-REFUNDABLE, even if the refund is denied.
It is the policy of the Davidson County Clerk’s Office to retain reasonable overage amounts as fees to this office for the handling/processing of refund requests.

Also, effective immediately, a convenience fee of 2.35% of the total Business Tax/License due will be assessed by the electronic processing company for credit/debit card payments received. No part of this fee goes to Metro Government.

This office will implement the above fees in compliance with state and local laws.

As always, you may call our Business Tax Division at (615) 862-6254, if there are any questions.

NOTE: All forms affected by the fee changes are in the process of being changed; however, if you have received/downloaded a form or an application that does not reflect the new fees; you are still required to include the appropriate fee in your payment.


Expanding to Meet Your Needs, updated on October 02, 2008
If you live in the South Nashville/Antioch area, you'll be happy to see our new "Express Renewal Clerk". At the end of each month, we'll be adding an additional clerk to the current four clerks that are there to help you renew your registration. This month, the lines were as much as 25% shorter because of this new addition. You spoke and we listened.


Coming Soon...Mobile Renewal, May 19, 2008
The Davidson County Clerk’s office is currently working with Systech International on the upcoming Mobile Renewal System. Mobile vans will be coming to a neighborhood near you! We are currently testing this new system and will be rolling it out later in the Summer. With the new van, you’ll be able to get your emissions test completed as well as your registration renewed all in one stop. As we get closer to the roll out date, we’ll be posting a schedule of stops for our new Mobile Renewal Units.
