Maury County or Williamson County?
This is the first question everyone asks when looking at Spring Hill. The city straddles two counties, and which side your house is on changes your school district, your tax bill, and your county services. Neither side is "bad" — it's about what matters most to you.
Taxes Barely Differ Now
The old tax gap is mostly gone. After 2026 reappraisals, a $500K home pays about $2,511 a year on the Williamson side and $2,635 on the Maury side, roughly $10 a month apart. Both sides pay the same city rate. So the bigger differences now are schools and the age of the homes, not taxes. See the full tax math.
Schools: The Biggest Difference
On 2025 state tests, about twice as many Williamson students passed reading and math. Maury scores are rising, and the Battle Creek schools sit right in Spring Hill. Check any address on the state report card.
