Property tax rates
Tennessee taxes a home on 25% of its appraised value, and the rate is charged per $100 of that assessed value, as the Comptroller explains. Every homeowner in these cities pays a county rate and a city rate. Rates below are the actual 2025 rates in the Comptroller’s 2025 Tax Aggregate Report, in dollars per $100 of assessed value.
| City | County | County rate | City rate | Combined | Tax on a $400,000 home |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mount Juliet | Wilson | $1.9089 | $0.2900 | $2.1989 | $2,198.90 |
| Hendersonville | Sumner | $1.4210 | $0.5883 | $2.0093 | $2,009.30 |
| Lebanon | Wilson | $1.9089 | $0.6855 | $2.5944 | $2,594.40 |
| La Vergne | Rutherford | $1.8762 | $0.5363 | $2.4125 | $2,412.50 |
The last column applies the combined rate to a home appraised at $400,000 (assessed at $100,000). In Lebanon, property inside the Lebanon Special School District also pays that district’s 2025 rate of $0.2973, the report shows. The rate figures are for 2025 so all four match; Wilson County reappraised for 2026, and Mount Juliet’s city rate for 2026 is 28 cents, with a county certified rate of $1.1657, according to the city.

Population, income and commute
From the Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates (QuickFacts links in the sources above):
| City | Population | Median household income | Median value, owner-occupied homes | Mean travel time to work |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mount Juliet | 42,073 | $107,068 | $460,100 | 30.2 minutes |
