Planning overlays or incorporated-city jurisdiction?
Metro’s Green Hills-Midtown materials list a Green Hills Transportation Plan and separate Green Hills and Bedford Avenue Urban Design Overlay documents. Brentwood dates its incorporation to 1969 and says the Williamson County Trustee collects its city property tax through a combined city-and-county notice. A Green Hills label does not identify a parcel rule, and a Brentwood mailing address does not replace the city-boundary and bill review.
| Comparison | Green Hills / Brentwood | Brentwood |
|---|---|---|
| Documented local record | Metro lists a Green Hills Transportation Plan and separate Green Hills and Bedford Avenue Urban Design Overlay documents. | Brentwood is an incorporated city; the city describes a combined city-and-county tax notice collected by the Williamson County Trustee. |
| Parcel question | Match the candidate to the applicable map or overlay before assuming a district-wide rule. | Confirm that the parcel is inside the city and review the actual combined tax bill rather than assuming a county-only charge. |

Is the decisive record a Green Hills overlay or Brentwood’s municipal jurisdiction?
