This is where Lobelville is located, in Perry County, Tennessee. This is where you can find peace and comfort, knowing that something in the air makes you feel safe and secure. This is where we call home.
Lobelville sits on the bank of the Buffalo River, a designated scenic river full of wildlife and people fishing, swimming, floating, and otherwise enjoying one of the genuine jewels of Middle Tennessee.

Frequent Questions
Tennessee law does not require mailing tax notices indicating the amount of taxes due. Property owners are presumed to know that taxes are due without personal notice. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the payment responsibility, nor is this a reason for interest charges to be dismissed if the tax bill becomes delinquent. (CTAS-1573), T.C.A. § 67-5-2101
