| Mayor Darrell Helton 
As the Mayor of Jefferson City, I would like to welcome
you to our home on the web. Jefferson City and Jefferson County are among the
fastest growing areas in Tennessee. While we are growing and prospering, we are
remain diligent in maintaining our small town values and atmosphere. We are
committed to meeting the challenges of a rapidly growing community with emphasis placed on
a strong infrastructure, improving police and fire protection, recruiting appropriate
retail and commercial businesses as well as quality industry. I think Jefferson City
is very attractive to residential growth because of our many recreational opportunities
including two TVA lakes (Cherokee and Douglas) and our close proximity to the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park and Knoxville, TN. Jefferson City has the lowest tax rate of
any city in our area, however the city is in very sound financial condition. Another
attractive feature of East Tennessee is the weather. Residents can experience the
"four" seasons without extreme conditions during any of them. I am sure
you will find the people here very friendly and accomodating. I am very proud of
Jefferson City and as a lifelong resident, I can say that this is just a great place to
live.
Darrell Helton, Mayor
