Welcome to the City of Newport, Tennessee
 Newport City Hall and all administrative offices are being moved to the Newport Community Center.
 
At this time, we are not open to the public. We have a projected open date of Monday, October 6th. All city meetings and municipal court have been canceled for October and until further notice. Notices regarding new due dates for citations and other types of things that are normally handled through our office will be sent out as soon as possible. The State of Tennessee handles our billing for property taxes and those may be mailed out this week. Please keep in mind that taxes are payable from October through February. We have no way of stopping this process, but we want our citizens to know that our top concern is your safety and wellbeing as we all work to recover and move forward.
 
 
 
To our Downtown Newport Business Community:
 
As we begin recovery and clean up in our downtown business community, we want you to know that the City of Newport is here to help guide all of you through this process.
 
The Newport Main Street Program will be the hub through which all aid, information and resources will be distributed to our Downtown Businesses and property owners.
 
Many of you already have contact with Main Street Director Monica Hommel. You can continue to reach out to her directly and we will send information to anyone already in the Main Street database.
 
If you have not yet participated in a Main Street event, we may not have contact information for you.
 
If you would like to be part of our information sharing group, please message us through the Newport Tourism Facebook page or contact Monica directly at Mhommel@newporttn.org
