NASHVILLE BUILDING PERMITS
Before any residential or commercial construction project in Nashville is started, it is important that the proper documentation is submitted and approved to receive a building permit. The Department of Codes & Building Safety has launched the E-permits System, which is an interactive web application that allows residents and businesses to apply for city of Nashville permits.
The Nashville Department of Codes and Building Safety reviews all the documentation and sends an ePermit that offers permission to begin the construction project.
What Can the Nashville E-Permits Service Offer?
- Make inspection requests
- Schedule inspections
- Check the status of inspections
- Pay re-inspection fees online with a credit card
- Apply for ‘trade permits’ (plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits), as well as some building permits

Registered Contractors Using Nashville’s ePermits System
Nashville’s ePermits system allows registered contractors to apply for and self-issue many permits types, as well as allowing contractors to make applications for other permits that require Metro review prior to issuance.
ePermits can be used to pay for most permits online and to schedule and check the status of inspections and reviews related to most permits as well as renew licenses and registrations for contractors, too.
