Understanding the Nashville Building Permit Process

For projects within Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, the Department of Codes and Building Safety serves as a central part of the building permit process.

Depending on the project, approvals or reviews may also involve Metro Planning, the Nashville Department of Transportation, Metro Water Services, the Fire Marshal’s Office, zoning, and other Development Services agencies.

Determining what is required, and when, can be just as important as completing the permit application itself.

MIP helps project teams identify requirements, organize submissions, monitor review activity, respond to corrections, and keep the permitting process moving.
