Tennessee
Tennessee starts in Nashville, on the streetcar grid east of the Cumberland River, where the porch streets of East Nashville hold the city's creative core.
One Tennessee cost runs through every report in the state: the trade between income tax and everything else. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, and the old Hall tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed in 2021. Sales tax carries more of the load instead, and property tax follows the county: in Nashville and Davidson County the combined Urban Services District rate is $2.814 per $100 of assessed value for FY2026, with homes assessed at a quarter of appraised value.
