Property tax changes the most. For tax year 2025, the combined county and city rate per $100 of assessed value runs from 1.403 in Thompson’s Station to 3.0831 in Belle Meade, according to the Tennessee Comptroller’s 2025 Tax Aggregate Report. Inside the Franklin Special School District, Franklin’s own rate rises from 1.566 to 2.0633.

Sales tax barely moves. The combined rate is 9.75% in nearly every place on this list. The exceptions are Chapel Hill and the rest of Marshall County, and unincorporated Cheatham County, at 9.25%; Davidson County reaches 9.75% with its 0.5% transit surcharge.

The Tennessee Department of Revenue does, for both the state part and any city part. Counties stopped imposing business tax on January 1, 2014, and the department has administered and collected it since 2010, so a business in Smyrna or Spring Hill files the same way as one in Franklin.

A business registers and remits once its gross receipts in a county or city reach $100,000; between $3,000 and $100,000 it needs a minimal activity license from the county or city clerk. In an unincorporated place such as Rockvale or Gladeville there is no city business tax at all. Our business tax preparation page covers the filing dates.
