Is Bellevue, TN part of Nashville?
Yes. Bellevue is part of Metro Nashville, the consolidated government of Nashville and Davidson County. The U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder places the Bellevue Branch Library at 720 Baugh Road inside “Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance)” as of October 2026, and Bellevue isn’t one of the six small incorporated cities in the county.
Metro Planning has a Bellevue Community Plan, one of its fourteen community plans. Along Highway 100, the River-Trace Urban Design Overlay, which the Metro Council approved in April 2018, sets building and development standards from the Harpeth River to the Natchez Trace.
For the rest of Metro, start with my Nashville guide.
What county is Bellevue, TN in?
Bellevue is in Davidson County. Most of the 37221 ZIP code area, about 45 of its 49 square miles of land, is in Davidson County, and about 4 square miles are in Williamson County, per the Census Bureau’s 2020 ZIP code to county file.
A 37221 address in that Williamson County slice is under Williamson County government, not Metro, so Metro’s tax rates and Metro Nashville Public Schools don’t apply to it. Check the county on the property record before you compare two 37221 homes. If you’re also looking south of the line, my Franklin guide covers that side.
What is the ZIP code for Bellevue, TN?
Bellevue’s ZIP code is 37221, per the U.S. Postal Service’s lookup on October 25, 2026. USPS lists Nashville as the default city for 37221 and accepts Bellevue too, so “Nashville, TN 37221” and “Bellevue, TN 37221” reach the same place.
| ZIP code | USPS type | Place names USPS accepts | Counties (Census 2020) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 37221 | Standard (homes) | Nashville (default), Bellevue | Davidson, plus about 4 sq mi in Williamson |
A ZIP code is a mail route, not a county or tax line. Use the ZIP to search and the property record to decide.

What are property taxes in Bellevue, TN in 2026?
For 2026, a Bellevue home in Davidson County pays Metro’s General Services District (GSD) rate of $2.782 per $100 of assessed value. A home inside the Urban Services District (USD) pays $2.814. The Metro Council set both in Ordinance BL2026-1378, passed June 16, 2026, and Tennessee assesses a home at 25 percent of its appraised value.
| Rate (2026) | Per $100 of assessed value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| General Services District | $2.782 | Ordinance BL2026-1378 |
| Inside the Urban Services District | $2.814 | Ordinance BL2026-1378; Metro Trustee |
On a $400,000 home, the assessed value is $100,000. That’s about $2,782 a year in the GSD and about $2,814 inside the USD.
Most of Bellevue is in the GSD. About 3 percent of the land in ZIP 37221 is inside the USD, by an overlay of Metro’s Urban Services District map layer on the Census Bureau’s 37221 boundary as of October 2026, and the Bellevue Library’s own address is outside it. The USD pays for added services such as garbage pickup, street lights and sidewalks, per the Assessor of Property, so in the GSD you arrange some of those yourself. Your assessment notice shows the district in its “Tax Jurisdiction” box, and Metro’s Parcel Viewer shows it for any parcel. Homes in the Williamson County part of 37221 pay Williamson County’s rates instead.
Disclosure: Property tax figures are the county and city rates published for the year shown and are for planning only. Your actual bill depends on the assessed value, any exemptions and the city or district the home sits in. Confirm with the county assessor or trustee and your tax professional before you rely on a number.
