What We Know About Campbell and Union Counties

Lake country, small towns, and separate county filings on each side of the line.

Two counties means two sets of county filings.

Campbell and Union each collect their own county business tax and tangible personal property returns. Inside a city or town, you owe that city’s business tax on top of the county’s. Outside every city limit, you owe the county’s alone. It is one of the first things we confirm.

Lake businesses run on a season.

Marinas, rentals, and the businesses that serve Norris Lake visitors have busy summers and quiet winters. Payroll and sales tax follow the calendar, and we bill hourly, so a slow month costs less.

You get a person, not a ticket.

When you call, you reach someone who already knows your business. There is no queue and no case number.

Remote whenever you want it.

Documents come to us through our secure client portal or email. Meeting in person is an option you can use when you need it, not an obligation.

Common Questions from Campbell and Union County Business Owners

Do you have an office in Campbell or Union County?

No. Our office is in Oak Ridge, and it moves to downtown Clinton in December 2026. Most of our Campbell and Union County clients work with us digitally, and we meet in person when it helps.

Do you work with businesses around Norris Lake?

Yes, including seasonal businesses whose payroll and sales tax change with the calendar. Norris Lake touches several counties, so we confirm which one your business is in before anything is filed.

Which Tennessee filings do you handle?

Annual city and county business tax returns, monthly sales tax filings, tangible personal property returns, annual franchise and excise tax returns, and quarterly payroll tax returns. We also serve as registered agent, which keeps your LLC from being administratively dissolved because a notice went to an old address or the circular file.

Do I need a CPA or a bookkeeper?

For most businesses, a bookkeeper handles the ongoing work — recording transactions, reconciling accounts, running payroll, filing sales and business tax returns, and producing financial statements. A CPA is typically brought in for audits, complex tax strategy, or certified financial statements. We handle bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation, and we will tell you plainly if something needs a CPA. We work directly with several CPAs and will refer you to them.

How do you charge?

We bill hourly. We do not sell packages, because most businesses do not need the same amount of work every month and we would rather not charge you for hours you did not use.
