Tennessee Building Permit Requirements: What You Need to Know

Last reviewed: April 2026

Building permits in Tennessee are issued at the local level — by city building departments or county codes offices — creating a patchwork of requirements across the state. Most construction projects, from new home construction to room additions, accessory structures, and fencing, require a site plan as part of the permit application package.

Nashville's Metro Department of Codes and Building Safety requires a site plan for any residential construction permit, including additions, decks, pools, sheds, garages, and pergolas. Memphis, Knoxville, Murfreesboro, and other major cities enforce their own, often stricter, submission standards. You can verify local requirements directly through nashville.gov or permits.knoxvilletn.gov.

At the state level, the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance administers the State Residential Building Code Enforcement Program for counties that have not adopted local codes. State law requires permits for any addition over 30 square feet to an existing home. Visit tn.gov for the latest state code information.

Common Tennessee Projects That Require a Site Plan

If you're planning any of the following projects in Tennessee, a site plan is typically part of your permit application:

  • Room additions — state law requires a permit for any addition over 30 square feet; Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville all require a site plan with the application.
  • Accessory structure permits (sheds, garages, carports, pergolas) — Nashville requires a site plan for structures 100 sq ft or more; Knoxville/Knox County uses a 120 sq ft threshold; Memphis/Shelby County requires a permit for any accessory structure regardless of size.
  • New home construction — a site plan showing property lines, setbacks, and existing features is required across all major Tennessee jurisdictions.
  • Fencing permits — required in Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville, where zoning setbacks must be verified before a fence permit is approved.
  • Driveway permits — many Tennessee counties and cities require a plot plan showing driveway placement relative to property lines and existing structures.
  • Deck and porch permits — site plans showing proposed dimensions and distances to property lines are standard requirements across Tennessee municipalities.
  • Swimming pool permits — pool installations require a site plan showing setbacks, existing structures, and utility locations.
  • Short-term rental licensing — some Tennessee municipalities, including Nashville, require a site plan as part of STR permit applications.
  • Detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) permits — growing in demand across Nashville and suburban Tennessee; a detailed site plan is required for zoning review.
  • Septic system clearance documentation — many Tennessee counties require the septic system location to be shown on the site plan, managed under the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
  • FEMA floodplain compliance — flood-prone Tennessee jurisdictions require site plans as part of floodplain verification during the permit process.
  • Historic overlay district approvals — properties in Nashville's Germantown, East Nashville, and 12 South neighborhoods require Historic Zoning Commission review in addition to standard permitting.
  • HOA architectural review submissions — Nashville suburbs like Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, and Mount Juliet, as well as Knoxville and Chattanooga metro communities, routinely require site plans for any exterior modification.
  • Demolition permits — required in most Tennessee cities and counties before any structure can be legally removed.
  • Grading and stormwater permits — site plans showing impervious surfaces and drainage patterns are commonly required for larger residential and commercial projects.

Tennessee's Unique Permitting Environment

Tennessee operates a three-tier building code system unlike most states. Rural opt-out counties may have no residential building codes at all. Counties under state oversight follow the 2018 International Residential Code, administered by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. Major cities like Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga enforce their own locally adopted codes — often stricter than the state baseline.

One Tennessee-specific quirk worth knowing: electrical permits and inspections are handled exclusively by the state through the CORE system, not by your local building department — even when your other permits are issued locally. Rutherford County won't accept any accessory structure permit application without a plot plan showing the proposed location relative to the septic system, existing structures, and property lines. If you're unsure what your county requires, rutherfordcountytn.gov and similar county sites publish their current submittal checklists.
