Nashville and Davidson County use a consolidated metropolitan government. Building permits are administered by Metro Codes & Building Safety, using ePermits and ePlans for applicable filing and review workflows.
Nashville Building Permit Guide →Confirm the project address, zoning path, current Metro code requirements, trade-permit needs, and the applicable ePermits or ePlans workflow before submitting.
Tennessee uses a mixed state-and-local building-code enforcement model. The State Fire Marshal’s Office adopts statewide construction standards and administers permitting or review in jurisdictions where state authority applies, while many cities and counties are exempt and enforce adopted codes locally. Residential state permits apply in jurisdictions participating in the State Residential Building Program.
We confirm the reviewing authority and submission path before the package is filed, helping avoid jurisdiction and intake mistakes.
