Community Highlights
A quick view of what defines Hendersonville.
What county is Hendersonville, TN in?
Hendersonville is in Sumner County, Tennessee. By the Census Bureau’s count it’s bigger than Gallatin, the county seat: 61,753 people in the 2020 census and an estimated 64,266 in July 2025, against an estimated 54,590 in Gallatin. The city covers about 31.4 square miles of land.
City Hall is at 101 Maple Drive North. Sumner County’s government offices are in Gallatin, at 355 North Belvedere Drive, so the county assessor and trustee are about a 15-minute drive away. My Sumner County guide covers the rest of the county, including Gallatin and Goodlettsville.
What ZIP code is Hendersonville, TN?
Hendersonville’s ZIP code is 37075. As of October 23, 2026, the USPS lists 37075 as the standard ZIP for Hendersonville and 37077 for PO boxes only.
A ZIP code is a mail route. It doesn’t tell you whether a house is inside the city. Before you count on city services or the city tax rate, confirm the address is inside Hendersonville city limits with the Sumner County Assessor of Property.
How far is Hendersonville from downtown Nashville?
Downtown Nashville is about 19.5 road miles and 29 minutes from Hendersonville City Hall without traffic. The fastest route runs US 31E to Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (TN 386) and then I-65 south. I routed every trip below from City Hall with OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM) on October 23, 2026.
| From Hendersonville City Hall to | Road miles | Minutes, no traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Nashville (State Capitol) | 19.5 | 29 |
| Nashville International Airport (BNA) | 23.2 | 38 |
| Gallatin City Hall | 11.0 | 15 |
| Downtown Franklin (Public Square) | 40.3 | 51 |
The Census Bureau puts the average commute for Hendersonville workers at 29.7 minutes (2020 to 2024 American Community Survey). Those table times are free-flow numbers, so drive your real commute at the hour you’d drive it before you buy.
What are property taxes in Hendersonville, TN?
For tax year 2026, a home inside Hendersonville city limits pays the City of Hendersonville rate of $0.5883 plus the Sumner County rate of $1.421 per $100 of assessed value, $2.0093 combined. The city adopted its fiscal 2027 budget on June 9, 2026 with no property tax increase, and both rates are posted on the city’s tax page and the county assessor’s page as of October 23, 2026.
Residential property is assessed at 25 percent of appraised value. On a $400,000 home, that’s a $100,000 assessment and about $2,009 a year inside the city. A home outside city limits pays the county rate only, about $1,421 on the same value.
| $400,000 home, tax year 2026 | Rate per $100 assessed | Yearly tax |
|---|---|---|
| Sumner County | $1.421 | about $1,421 |
| City of Hendersonville | $0.5883 | about $588 |
| Inside city limits, combined | $2.0093 | about $2,009 |
The city sends its own bill, payable starting the first Monday in October and due by the last day of February. The Sumner County Trustee collects the county bill and runs the state tax relief program and the county tax freeze program for qualifying owners who are 65 or older, disabled, or disabled veterans.
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.

What school district is Hendersonville, TN in?
Hendersonville is in Sumner County Schools, and the district zones by address, not by city. Hendersonville addresses are zoned to three different high schools, per the district’s own Find My School Zone lookup as of October 2026.
| Street (Hendersonville, 37075) | Elementary | Middle | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maple Drive North (City Hall) | Nannie Berry | Ellis | Hendersonville High |
| Pin Oak Drive, Waterview Drive | Nannie Berry | Ellis | Hendersonville High |
| Bay Shore Drive, Cherokee Road | Indian Lake | Ellis | Hendersonville High |
| Robinhood Circle | Walton Ferry | Hawkins | Hendersonville High |
| Hickory Heights Drive | Lakeside Park | Hawkins | Hendersonville High |
| Rockland Road, Campus Drive | Gene Brown | Hawkins | Hendersonville High |
| Caldwell Drive | Madison Creek | T W Hunter | Beech High |
| Glenbrook Way | Beech | T W Hunter | Beech High |
| Avant Lane | Dr. William Burrus | Knox Doss | Beech High |
| Carrington Road | Jack Anderson | Station Camp | Station Camp High |
| Wynbrooke Trace | Station Camp | Station Camp | Station Camp High |
The two new-construction communities on the northeast side, Millstone and Campbell Crossing, are listed by their builders with Station Camp schools, the same high school the lookup returned on Wynbrooke Trace and Carrington Road. Zones change, so run the exact address through the Find My School Zone link on the Sumner County Schools site before you write an offer.
What should you know before buying a home on Old Hickory Lake?
Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake, and the Corps decides what can be built on its shoreline. The land along the water is public property, and the Nashville District runs the lake from its Old Hickory Lake Resource Manager’s Office at No. 5 Power Plant Road in Hendersonville. A house that backs up to the water doesn’t automatically come with the right to a dock.
If you’re shopping Old Hickory Lake homes for sale, these are the Corps’ criteria for a new private dock, from its published responses during the review that produced the current 2020 Shoreline Management Plan:
- New private dock permits go only in shoreline areas allocated as “Limited Development, Private Docks and Mowing.” Even there, a permit isn’t guaranteed. The Corps decides after a site inspection.
- You have to own private property that qualifies for a residential building permit and directly adjoins the public land, with no public road, right-of-way or leased property in between, and you need a plat from a licensed surveyor.
- The lot needs at least 65 feet of allocated shoreline.
- The dock has to float at the lake’s normal pool elevation of 445 feet above sea level.
The Corps held public workshops in January 2026 on an update to the 2020 plan, so these rules can change. Before you pay for a lake lot or a house with a dock, call the Resource Manager’s Office at 615-822-4846 and ask about that exact address and that exact dock.
Where is the new construction in Hendersonville, TN?
As of October 23, 2026, these builders publish communities with a Hendersonville address on their own websites. Prices are the starting or base price each builder posted that day, and they change often.
| Community | Builder | Homes | Builder-published price | Notes from the builder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crutcher Station | Ryan Homes | Single-family, 4+ bedrooms, 2,718+ sq ft | From $555,990 | 512 Farm Field Lane |
| Millstone | Pulte Homes | Single-family | From $589,990 | 467 Carriage House Lane; Station Camp schools |
| Millstone | Schell Brothers | Single-family, ranch and two-story plans | Base from $729,900, lot included | 609 homes when complete; HOA $92.42 a month; Station Camp schools |
| Campbell Crossing | Schell Brothers | Single-family on 1/2 to 2+ acre homesites, 12 homesites | Base from $1,009,900, lot included | No HOA, deed restrictions to come; Station Camp schools |
The US Census geocoder places Pulte’s Millstone address (467 Carriage House Lane) and Campbell Crossing (1492 Saundersville Road) inside Hendersonville city limits. The newest streets don’t geocode yet, so check those with the assessor.
The friendly person at the model works for the builder. Bring your own agent on the first visit, because many builders won’t pay a buyer’s agent who shows up later, and in most new-construction deals the builder pays my fee, which we confirm in writing. Builder offers change week to week, and I track them. Get them through my builder offers sign-up.

Who provides utilities in Hendersonville?
It depends on the street. The 2026 community data profile from the Middle Tennessee Industrial Development Association lists two electric providers for Hendersonville, Nashville Electric Service and Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation (CEMC), and two water suppliers, Hendersonville Utility District and White House Utility District.
At Millstone, for example, Schell Brothers lists CEMC electric, White House Utility District water, Hendersonville Utility District sewer, Piedmont Natural Gas and City of Hendersonville trash pickup. At Campbell Crossing it lists CEMC and White House Utility District for water and sewer. On a resale, ask the seller for the last 12 months of bills from each one.
Is Hendersonville, TN a good place to live?
That depends on what you need the house to do, so here are the facts I’d weigh. I don’t rate neighborhoods as good or bad for anyone. Drive the streets at the hours you’d actually use them.
- Old Hickory Lake runs along the city, and the Corps’ dock rules above decide what you can do at the water. Here are the things to do in Hendersonville, on and off the water.
- Downtown Nashville is about 29 minutes without traffic, and Census puts the average Hendersonville commute at 29.7 minutes.
- The city’s fiscal 2027 budget puts $8.3 million into parks improvements, including a new inclusive playground at Sanders Ferry Park and a bike pump track at Heritage Park, plus $4.2 million for paving. Improvements at Exit 8 and Saundersville Road and on New Shackle Island Road are funded for planning and design.
- The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey puts the median value of owner-occupied homes in Hendersonville at $430,700, with 71.7 percent of homes owner-occupied. That’s a self-reported survey figure, not a sales price.
- Tennessee’s personal income tax was repealed beginning January 1, 2021. Sales tax is the state’s 7 percent plus a 2.75 percent local rate on most purchases, and food runs 4 percent state plus 2.25 percent local.
