Welcome to Lebanon
Lebanon – The Wilson County Seat
Lebanon is the county seat of much-desired, quickly growing Wilson County. Wilson County is a much-desired location for those looking to relocate to the Nashville area because of its close proximity to the city. The city of Lebanon borders Davidson County, (Nashville) to the east and is conveniently located off Interstate 40 which makes it an attractive location for businesses.
Much of Lebanon has a more rural feel but that doesn’t mean you have to travel miles for shopping or a night out to eat. Lebanon combines the best of both worlds with homes in a peaceful, rural setting, as well as a variety of homes in an active small city. If you are looking for older homes or newer homes, smaller homes or larger homes, town homes or upscale homes, an established neighborhood or a new subdivision, Lebanon has what you are looking for!

As is the case in Mt Juliet, the Wilson County tax system is often a big plus to those looking to relocate to Nashville. Lebanon offers a location in Wilson County that has a close proximity to Nashville, yet the property taxes are less than Davidson County (the county that includes Nashville) taxes.
Another advantage to living in Wilson County and Lebanon is the Music City Star Commuter Train. If you work downtown and don’t want to make the 30-minute drive (depending on traffic) into Nashville each day, riding the train is a great alternative. The commuter train gives Wilson County residents an advantage that no other county has to offer for commuting into downtown Nashville. Skip rush hour and take advantage of the train ride to relax or read on your way home from work!
