Laurelbrooke sits outside Franklin's city limits

Laurelbrooke has a Franklin mailing address and a 37069 ZIP, but a Census geocoder check on a Waterstone Boulevard address puts it outside any incorporated city, in unincorporated Williamson County. Your tax bill has no City of Franklin line, and services come from the county rather than the city. If you'd rather have city services and a town center, the same developer's Westhaven is inside the city.

Laurelbrooke property tax in 2026

County services in Laurelbrooke

Outside the city, you don't get City of Franklin services that depend on city limits, such as city sanitation. Ask the listing agent who provides trash pickup, water and sewer for the address, and check the Franklin utilities guide for how to set each one up.

The Laurelbrooke gate, sections and land

Southern Land Company built Laurelbrooke as a gated community on nearly 600 acres of forest. The developer's own description leads with the woods, lakes and stone walls, and that's what you're buying: privacy and land, behind a gate.

Laurelbrooke's five sections

The community is laid out in five sections. Lot sizes, house ages and any section rules can differ between them, so ask which section a listing sits in and request that section's documents.

Lakes and stone walls in Laurelbrooke

Lakes and stone walls are part of the shared grounds. Ask the HOA who maintains them and what the reserve fund holds for dams, shorelines and walls, since a repair the reserves can't cover comes back to owners as a special assessment.

Finding the Laurelbrooke entrance

The developer gives the address as 1180 Waterstone Boulevard, Franklin. Listing directions route you from Hillsboro Road onto Sneed Road; check the gate on a current map before a showing, and ask the agent for access instructions.

The answers come in the resale certificate. Once you have the dues, add them to the cost-to-own tool on this page, which already uses the county-only tax line.
