Set up utilities the right way
Water and sewer
Most Nolensville addresses open water service with the Nolensville/College Grove Utility District. When you start service on the NCGUD new-customer page, ask which sewer provider serves your address. Portions of the town use Metro Water Services, which handles start or transfer requests on its customer page.
Electric and gas
Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation serves Nolensville. Use their member services page for account setup, outage reporting, and billing guidance. You can find contact and setup information on this MTEMC service reference. If your home uses natural gas, establish service with Atmos Energy and review leak response steps on their gas safety page.
Trash and recycling
The Town does not provide curbside trash collection. Arrange private pickup or plan drop-offs at the county convenience center. The Town lists providers and helpful notes on the trash removal page. Confirm recycling rules directly with your chosen service.
Internet and TV
Providers vary by street, and many addresses have fiber. Before scheduling installation, check what is available at your exact location using this Nolensville internet availability guide. If you live in a condo or HOA, confirm any wiring or appointment restrictions.
Taxes, permits, and local government
Property tax basics
Williamson County bills and collects property taxes for Nolensville properties. Bills are typically mailed in October, with payments accepted through the end of February before penalties begin. Review current guidance on the Town’s property tax page and confirm annual due dates with the County Trustee.
Building permits and inspections
Planning a fence, deck, remodel, or major system replacement? Contact the Town’s Building Codes Department before you start. Permit requirements, forms, and inspection steps are outlined on the Building in Nolensville page. This helps you avoid delays and ensures work meets the 2024 adopted codes.
IDs and registrations
After you submit your postal change of address, update your driver license and vehicle records with Tennessee Driver Services. Find locations and hours, including the Franklin center, on the Driver Services locations page. If you plan to vote locally, register ahead of election deadlines through county and state tools.
Schools, childcare, and learning
If you have students, contact Williamson County Schools to confirm your assigned school and complete enrollment. Ask about records transfer, bus routes, and before or after-care. Set reminders for immunization forms and any school device pickup. During your first week, consider stopping by the Nolensville Branch Library for a card, free Wi‑Fi, study spots, and children’s programs.
Health and safety essentials
For same-day medical needs, Nolensville has urgent care options and regional hospital access in nearby Franklin. Program key contacts into your phone and keep your insurance cards in an easy-to-find spot. For police, fire, and town alerts, save 911 for emergencies and use the Nolensville Police contact page for non-emergency information and community notices.
Home basics, pets, and readiness
Walk your property to locate the water main shutoff, gas meter, and electrical panel. Label circuits if needed and store a simple tool kit in an easy-to-reach place. Before digging for landscaping or a fence, call 811 to have underground lines marked.
If you have pets, confirm local leash and vaccination rules, keep rabies certificates handy, and consider microchipping with the county animal center. Stock up on food, medications, and a backup leash so you are set for the first week.
