Why Buyers Are Choosing Lascassas for Space, Schools, and No City Tax


Lascassas is an unincorporated community in northeast Rutherford County, about 10 miles from downtown Murfreesboro. Its name comes from Bartolome de las Casas (1484-1566), a Spanish missionary known as the “Apostle of the Indians.” The area has deep agricultural roots — rolling hills, open pasture, and working farms still define the landscape. In the 1950s, Lascassas gained brief national attention through the Arthur Godfrey Show, when native Rufus Jarman shared stories about community life at Ben Brown’s Grocery. The Lascassas TN real estate market has grown steadily while holding onto that rural character.

Today, new subdivisions with modern farmhouse-style construction have risen alongside established ranches and multi-acre estates. The median home value has climbed from roughly $115,000 in 2000 to approximately $419,000 today. Custom estates on eight or more acres range from $800,000 to $1.5 million. Premium farm properties with 50 to 100+ acres can reach $3 million or more.

Because Lascassas is unincorporated, residents pay county tax only — no city tax at all. The Rutherford County rate of 1.8762 per $100 of assessed value is one of the lowest total tax burdens in the Nashville metro. Lascassas Pike (TN-96) connects directly to Murfreesboro in about 15 minutes. I-24 is roughly 15 minutes away, downtown Nashville is approximately 50 minutes, and Nashville International Airport (BNA) is about the same. Combined with Tennessee’s zero state income tax, Lascassas TN real estate offers a tax-friendly foundation that is hard to match.

No. Lascassas is an unincorporated community, which means there is no city government and no city tax. Residents pay only the Rutherford County property tax rate of 1.8762 per $100 of assessed value. Combined with Tennessee’s zero state income tax, this makes Lascassas one of the most tax-friendly areas in the Nashville metro. For a home assessed at $400,000, the annual property tax would be roughly $1,875 — significantly lower than what you would pay in incorporated cities like Murfreesboro, Smyrna, or Nashville where city tax is added on top of the county rate.
Lascassas has seen steady growth over the past two decades, with the median home value climbing from approximately $115,000 in 2000 to roughly $419,000 today. New subdivision construction continues to come online, and demand from buyers seeking rural living near Murfreesboro keeps pushing values upward. The combination of no city tax, strong schools, low crime, and limited supply creates conditions that have historically supported long-term appreciation. As with any investment, results vary by property — our team uses live MLS data to help you evaluate specific opportunities.
Lascassas is an unincorporated community of about 6,000 residents — compared to Murfreesboro (165,000+), Smyrna (60,000+), and La Vergne (41,000+). Its biggest advantage is no city tax — only county tax applies, which is lower than any incorporated city in the county. Lascassas is closer to Murfreesboro (10 minutes) than Eagleville (25 minutes), with a different school zone (Oakland vs Eagleville K-12). Both communities offer acreage and farm properties, but Lascassas has more subdivision options. For buyers who prioritize space, low taxes, and strong schools close to Murfreesboro, Lascassas is a top choice.
