Nashville is a prospering city that offers a high quality of living in a low-cost business environment. Nashville’s cost of doing business is 88.5% of the national average. The state of Tennessee has no personal income tax and the city of Nashville has a low overall tax burden.
Recently, Forbes ranked Nashville as the third best positioned city “to grow and prosper in the coming decade”, No. 6 on its list of the Best Places for Businesses and Careers and as the No. 4 “Brain Magnet” for gains in people with college educations.
Nashville’s current momentum is based, in part, on the plethora of attractive cultural and entertainment options, including:
- In 2015, Nashville is in the No. 1 spot on Travel + Leisure's America's Friendliest Cities ranking.
- Ranked as “the nation’s best music scene” by Rolling Stone
- Successful and well-respected NFL and NHL franchises
- World-class symphony has received 14 GRAMMY® nominations and seven wins
- Over 12,000 acres of parks and 12 golf courses
Nashville has live music of multiple genres being performed every night. With more than 180 recording studios, and 5,000 working musicians, Nashville is clearly “Music City.” Music is the reason that many people come to Nashville, but our two major sports teams, extensive park system, and endless arts and cultural opportunities offer people plenty of reasons to stay.

The government of Knox County, Tennessee operates under a home rule format. The county administrator, formerly known as the County Executive, is called the County Mayor. There is also an elected County Commission. The county officials' districts do not correspond with those of the city of Knoxville, which has its own mayor and city council. Residents of the county living within Knoxville city limits vote in both city and county elections, are represented by city and county mayors, and pay city and county taxes. While the administration appears to be duplicated, services tend to be separated. Knox County runs the local school system, health department and library branches. Knoxville maintains police department independent of the County Sheriff. Other Knox County elected offices include the Property Assessor, County Clerk, Register of Deeds, Trustee, District Attorney General, Law Director, Public Defender and court clerks.
