Nolensville..."Never will have a Property Tax."
Property Tax Neverland
Nolensville "Never will have a Property Tax."
Terrific news from our Mayor in the thursday
7/21/05 article in the Tennessean. Also very
good news to anyone considering a move to our
city. Most of us recall someone telling us never
say never because you never know what might
happen in the future. In this same article Brent-
wood City Manager said "When you have a city
with a lot of growth like we have, there's an ex-
pectation from the citizens that you provide
improved services."
With thousands of homes being built around
Nolensville there will be new costs to pay for the
upkeep of the city's parks, streets, fire and
police departments and some kind of traffic
system. Attracting more commercial businesses
is one way to be able to avoid a property tax.
Mayor Joe Sweeney of Brentwood says property
taxes have stayed 59 cents per $100 of assessed
value for the last 15 years...and added that this
helps the city pay for upkeep of the city's parks,
fire and police departments, a tornado warning
system and a new synchronized traffic system.
Let's hope Mayor Knapper is right and at least
now and in the near future we can avoid a
property tax. However, if Nolensville ever needs
additional revenues maybe expanding commer-
cial businesses will bring in enough revenues.
Still, never say never is probably good advice.

Good article on property taxes. Never...ever believe a political office holder. Look at Nashville and our Governor...always claiming they need more money even when the surplus has got to be highest ever?
rooftops don't pay for themselves!!!!!
I think a surprise deficit will eventually show up.
Why do you think this town is so much different than any place else?
Property tax is almost inevitable,
but not the worst thing in the world.
