Metro Government and Commission Schedules
Residents are advised of several upcoming legislative and administrative meetings following the weekend. The Metropolitan Council Minority Caucus is scheduled to meet on Monday, March 9, 2026, at 5:45 p.m. in the Historic Metro Courthouse. This session precedes a busy week for city commissions, including the Civil Service Commission, which will convene on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in the Howard Office Building. These meetings are open to the public, and residents can also stream proceedings live through the Metro Nashville Network.
Financial Notice: Delinquent Property Taxes
The Metro Trustee’s Office reminds property owners that the deadline to pay 2025 real property taxes without penalty passed on February 28, 2026. As of March 8, 2026, all unpaid balances are now considered delinquent and are accruing interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. While interest cannot be waived under state law, eligible seniors, veterans, and disabled residents still have until April 4, 2026, to apply for the Tax Relief and Tax Freeze programs. Applicants must provide 2024 income documentation to the Trustee’s Office at 700 President Ronald Reagan Way.
Public Works and Park Construction Alerts
Metro Nashville has issued updated public notices regarding active construction projects exceeding one acre in size. Major site improvements currently underway include:
- Mill Ridge Regional Park: Phase 2 development and farm infrastructure work in Antioch.
- Cleveland Park: Ongoing trail paving and athletic court upgrades.
- Omohundro Water Treatment Plant: Critical process improvements and facility maintenance.

Seasonal Health Advisory: Spring Pollen Surge
The Metro Public Health Department, in coordination with regional forecast data, notes that Nashville has entered the peak of the spring allergy season. Due to unseasonably warm conditions earlier this year, pollen levels for juniper and elm are currently high, while maple, alder, and poplar trees have begun their pollination cycles. Health officials recommend that sensitive individuals limit outdoor activity during morning hours and keep residential windows closed to minimize exposure to airborne allergens.
Public Transportation Planning
The Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) has announced that the Transportation Policy Board will meet on March 18, 2026, to discuss regional mobility plans. Public comment is also being sought for the Area Plan for Programs on Aging and Disability, with a public hearing scheduled for March 19 at the FiftyForward Knowles Center. Residents are encouraged to review project documents at the GNRC offices or online to provide input on regional growth and social services.
