New to Murfreesboro? Here’s a few things to help you get settled in your new home. Moving to a new city can be both exciting and scary, especially if you don’t know anyone there. It may be a new job, school or even love that is taking you into unfamiliar territory, but with the right attitude and information at your disposal, you will be ready to take on anything. Besides, if you are moving to Murfreesboro (popularly called ‘The ‘Boro’) which has an active community with a motto of "Creating A Better Quality Of Life", you will have nothing to worry about.

Here are some tips to help you get settled:

1. New Builds - Building permits Chances are that you will rent a place or buy an existing property that is for sale as you arrive, however, in case you want to build a newly built house, you will need a building permit. The type of structure you wish to erect determines the kind you’ll get. For details, go to City Hall or contact one of the many professional custom home builders in Murfreesboro who will help you through the entire process. There are many great realtors in Murfreesboro TN who are ready and available to help you, whether you are renting or buying, with this fascinating and quick moving housing market.

2. Public library If you are an avid reader who wants to hit the ground running, you can visit the main library, Linebaugh Public Library on Vine Street in downtown Murfreesboro. It is open from 9am-9pm except for Sundays, Fridays, and Saturdays. It has many excellent programs and events available.

3. Voting To register to vote, visit the Rutherford County Election Commission. The process is easy and straightforward.

4. Public transportation The public transportation program in The Boro uses the Rover Bus System. It is a pretty neat system so even if you don’t have a car, you can rely on it to be on time.

5. Restaurants There are many locally owned restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. Enjoy supporting them as you make Rutherford County your home. Some we've already discovered include: Demo's, Project Donuts, and Blue Cactus Cantina. If you want to pick up some fresh seafood from the gulf, stop by Bubby Gandy's of Murfreesboro!

6. City taxes City taxes are usually due by December 31 and for details, visit the Finance and Tax Department.

7. Schools for your kids This growing county has plenty of options for schools. There's preschool options and early elementary through college offering a lot of variety and types of educations.
