Both offices are in Ashland City. Trustee Cindy Binkley Perry collects property tax and uses PO Box 56 as the mailing address, and Assessor of Property Cindy Dozier Burney sets values from 354 Frey Street, Suite B.

The town’s combined rate for tax year 2025 is 2.2178 per $100 of assessed value, made of Cheatham County’s 1.7530 and Ashland City’s 0.4648, per the Comptroller’s Tax Aggregate Report. The same county offices serve Pegram and Kingston Springs. Ashland City added 498 residents between the 2020 census base and the July 2024 estimate, a 9.6% rise, while both of those towns lost population. A property bill from these offices is one of the inputs to Haven’s tax planning.

When its combined franchise and excise liability was $5,000 or more in both the prior year and the current year, Tennessee requires quarterly estimated payments. The annual return is due the 15th day of the fourth month after the books close, April 15 for a calendar-year business, and a seven-month extension is available.

Estimates are easier to set from books that are current. The old site says, “By maintaining accurate books, we ensure a smoother tax preparation process,” and Haven’s bookkeeping runs monthly, which puts a year-to-date income figure in hand when each quarterly payment comes due. An extension gives more time to file; it doesn’t change what the quarterly estimates require along the way.

Yes. Documents go through Haven’s secure client portal, and meetings are held at its office at 256 Seaboard Lane, Suite G-102, in Cool Springs. Ashland City is 25.7 miles from Franklin’s center in a straight line, farther out than Pegram or Kingston Springs.

Cheatham County no longer imposes a business tax, as no Tennessee county has since January 1, 2014. When a business tax return is due, it goes to the Department of Revenue, which administers the state and city parts together. Ashland City’s sales tax is 9.75%, half a point above the county’s 9.25%. Haven prepares the state and federal filings as part of its business tax preparation.
