Tennessee eliminated its Hall Tax in 2021 — zero state income tax on all income. Combined with property tax rates well below the national average and a county-level tax freeze for 65+ homeowners, the total annual tax burden for Nashville retirees is among the lowest of any major metro we cover. Compare to: Florida has zero income tax but adds CDD fees and higher insurance. Texas has zero income tax but property tax effective rates of 2–2.5%. New Jersey has income tax plus property taxes of 1.5–2.8%. Tennessee wins on the combined total in most scenarios.
