Status of Planning in TN Communities

If your county is considering adoption or revision of zoning, building codes or subdivision regulations, there is a report available through the Department of Economic and Community Development (EC&D) which may be of interest to you. The annual Status of Planning and Land Use Controls report is produced by the Local Planning Assistance Office within EC&D each year. The report for 2008 can be found here:

This report is approximately 80 pages long and includes maps and charts identifying which counties and municipalities have subdivision regulations, building codes, zoning, active planning commissions and building inspection programs. The report also indicates which counties participate in the National Flood Insurance Program, the Tennessee 3-Star Program and the Retire Tennessee Program.

To find out more about these programs and others administered by the Local Planning Assistance Office, visit their website here: http://tennessee.gov/ecd/locplan.htm
