The local department that handles building permits, inspections and code questions for Nashville and Davidson County.
Metro Codes is the Nashville and Davidson County department that describes its role in permits, inspections and building and property standards. Re-roofing, structural repairs and changes to roof shape can involve permits and inspections. Owners in Nashville can contact the department to ask which requirements apply to a specific address and project.
We are a private company and are not part of Metro government. Officials decide what is required, so we help owners prepare questions, scopes and product information and then follow the instructions they receive. We schedule inspections when required and keep records of the work. The official site lists services and contacts, and we are glad to talk through what information tends to be useful before you call or apply.
