The Great Outdoors

In addition to 56 Tennessee State Parks, there are 85 State Natural Areas with hiking trails, waterfalls, native plants, forests, and animal species, plus rivers and streams. While a few state Natural Areas are located within state parks, these areas are protected lands and represent some of the most unique and treasured outdoor resources in the state. Check the online events schedule for guided hikes and tours or find a natural area to explore on your own. TN.gov/environment/program-areas/na-natural-areas

Vacation Check Requests

Several police departments in the area will offer extra patrols of your neighborhood while you are away, if requested. Contact your local police department and request a vacation check at your residence or business whenever you are out of town.

Tax Time

One of the most attractive things about living in Tennessee is there is no state income tax. However, residents do pay property tax and sales tax. While residential property tax rates vary from city to city, the Williamson County tax is $1.88 per $100 assessed property valuation and $1.91 in Maury County. Taxes are due October 1 and are delinquent after March 1. Sales tax in Williamson and Maury County is 9.75%. This includes a Tennessee state sales tax of 7% and a county tax of 2.75%.
