How these numbers are made
- Water: city residential base rate $9.94 (minimum $10.91 with tax) and $4.71 per 1,000 gallons; the usage rate is scaled by 10.91/9.94 to include tax as the fee book does for the minimum.
- Sewer: base rate $5.45 plus residential $4.78 per 1,000 gallons, read from the fee book layout.
- Property tax: Comptroller table lists county 1.76 and city 1.83 per $100 of assessed value; residential is assessed at 25%.
- Electricity: DES schedule RS averaged across summer, winter and transition (4 months each) plus TVA's 2.404 cents fuel cost of September 2026.
- Gas: Dyersburg's rate is cost of gas plus $3.82 per MCF with a $5.00 customer charge (G2 City Residential); the cost of gas is not published on the city's gas page or in its fee book, so gas is not modelled and the total excludes gas.
- Electricity uses the DES rate sheet uploaded March 2025; TVA wholesale changes since may have moved it. Water, sewer and garbage come from a June 2026 archived copy of the fee book (before the July 1 fiscal year start); later changes are not confirmed.
- Property tax: the 2026-27 county rate of $1.76 per $100 was also reported by the State Gazette after the Dyer County Commission's June 29 vote.
- Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
