A Rural Hill taxpayer can deduct up to $10,000 a year of car loan interest for tax years 2025 through 2028, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed on July 4, 2025. The deduction begins to phase out above $100,000 of modified adjusted gross income, or $200,000 on a joint return.

Keep the loan paperwork with the rest of the year’s tax records and send it in through Haven’s secure client portal. We apply the deduction alongside the others the same law created, for overtime, tips and taxpayers 65 and older, when preparing a personal return. Each has its own limit and income test, and next year’s planning starts from where those landed.

Rural Hill property tax is handled by two Wilson County offices, both in Lebanon. Trustee Kenneth Hackett collects the tax, and his office’s mailing address is PO Box 865, Lebanon 37088. Stephen Goodall is the Assessor of Property, with an office at 228 East Main St, Room 4, Lebanon 37087.

The rate is the county’s alone, 1.9089 per $100 of assessed value for tax year 2025, as the Comptroller of the Treasury reports. Haven doesn’t project anyone’s property bill, but the rate and the receipts are among the records we review in tax planning. Rural Hill is 23.6 miles from the center of Franklin.

The difference is the city layer. Mount Juliet is incorporated and adds 0.29 to Wilson County’s 1.9089, for 2.1989 per $100 of assessed value; Rural Hill, a census-designated place, pays 1.9089 and nothing more. A city can also adopt a business tax of its own, while an unincorporated community has none.

Sales tax is the same in both. The Department of Revenue lists Wilson County and its cities at 9.75 percent combined, with a 2.75 percent local share. Gladeville and Green Hill, also unincorporated, share Rural Hill’s rates. The other places we cover are under service areas.
