Commercial Property

Doug Russell

Commercial Supervisor

I'm a Knoxville native, married with two children with a career in business and the manufacturing industry. Driven by a strong desire to contribute more directly to my community, I made the transition into public service over 15 years ago and joined the Knox County Property Assessor's Office. I hold a Certified Residential Appraiser license and began my work in the office focusing on residential assessments. Over time, I transitioned into the commercial appraisal team, where I continue to expand my expertise in evaluating complex property types.

Throughout my career, I've been involved in a wide range of responsibilities, including assisting in the county and state-level appeals process—a role that deepened my understanding of both policy and public engagement. I take pride in providing accurate, fair assessments and supporting the community through transparent property valuation. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, which keeps me grounded and reminds me of the importance of the work I do for the citizens of Knox County.
