Sumner County is known for Old Hickory Lake waterfront, Johnny Cash's former home and Historic downtown square. We publish town guides here for Hendersonville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, White House and Portland. On what is being built, our own dated write-up here follows Durham Farms in Hendersonville (last updated 2026-07-01).

What towns are in Sumner County, TN?

Hendersonville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, White House and Portland are in Sumner County, Tennessee. Sumner County is one of the Middle Tennessee counties around Nashville, and we publish a town guide for each of those 5 towns.

Goodlettsville, White House and Portland sit on a county line — Goodlettsville is also in Davidson County, White House is also in Robertson County and Portland is also in Robertson County — so they appear on both county pages and their listings are counted on each.

Town names and county assignments come from our own published town guides, linked above.

How far is Sumner County from downtown Nashville?

From the towns we publish in Sumner County: Hendersonville runs 25-30 minutes to downtown Nashville, Gallatin runs 30-40 minutes to downtown Nashville, Goodlettsville runs 20-30 minutes to downtown Nashville, White House runs 30-40 minutes to downtown Nashville and Portland runs 45-60 minutes to downtown Nashville.

Those are the drive times on each town's own guide, and they describe a car trip to downtown, not to Nashville International Airport or to any one employer. Where a guide gives an off-peak figure, the off-peak label travels with it.

Is there new construction in Sumner County?

Community-by-community detail — who is building, what stage each community is at and what to verify before you write an offer — is on the new-construction pages linked below.

What is the property tax rate in Sumner County, TN?

The 2025 certified county rate for Sumner County is $1.421 per $100 of assessed value — the certified table's "Unincorporated Sumner County" row. Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value, so the county portion of a bill is appraised value × 0.25 × 1.421 ÷ 100. That rate is a rate, not a percentage of a sale price.

A home inside a city limit is also billed that city's own rate on top of the county rate, and the certified table carries 8 municipal rows for Sumner County. Which one applies depends on the address, not on the county. We publish the certified rates and do not rank them.

Towns we publish in Sumner County also sit in Davidson County and Robertson County. For the reader comparing two counties, the 2025 certified county rates are Davidson County $2.782 per $100 of assessed value (the certified table's "Metro Nashville — General Services District (GSD)" row) and Robertson County $1.8 per $100 of assessed value. Printed side by side, not ranked.

Where do I look up school zoning and crime data for Sumner County?

For school zoning and crime statistics we point at the official records and do not characterize them: the Tennessee State Report Card, the NCES public-school search, the district's own zone lookup, and the FBI Crime Data Explorer.

Some people want to research this themselves before they narrow a search. The official sources are linked on our schools and crime data page, in the same list for every town and county we publish.

We do not publish a year-over-year price change on this page. The change figure in our data is derived from closed sale prices, and sale-price figures are held back from public pages until RealTracs confirms in writing that we may display them and our broker signs off. The two on-market change figures — asking price and active listing count — are held back for a different reason: the on-market cohort for the comparison window is incomplete, so a change computed from it would be measured against a partial set. Everything above is a level, measured on the date it names.
