Just this week, the Cheatham County Commission agreed to lower the development tax and adequate facilities tax. Both are charged on every new home  built in the county.

The development tax will decrease from the current $3,750 to $50 per home, and the adequate facilities tax will go from $1 per square foot to 10 cents per square foot.

The lower  rates will revert to the original amounts in July 2015 unless the commission decides to keep them.  See the full article in The Tennessean below.
