USDA loans in Spring Hill, TN: what buyers should check first
Spring Hill is among the most-cited USDA towns in the country — the GM-plant boomtown south of Nashville that stayed on eligibility maps far longer than its growth suggested.
Is Spring Hill USDA-eligible?
Not as a blanket yes. USDA eligibility is decided at the exact property point against the USDA Rural Development ineligible-area layer — not by town name, ZIP code, or school district. The Williamson County side and the US-31 core are now largely ineligible. Maury County south and west of town is the realistic search.

Income caps still apply
USDA Guaranteed loans cap household income by area and household size. As a national floor for 2026, that is roughly $112,450 for 1–4 person households and $148,450 for 5–8 — many metro-adjacent counties run higher. Confirm the current cap for Maury County before falling for a listing, because the cap counts everyone in the household, not just borrowers.
