The State Fire Marshall's Office is holding an informational webinar on July 29th for persons who may be interested in serving as local building permit issuing agents.
In October of this year, the State Fire Marshal’s office will begin permitting and inspecting new construction of one and two family residences and townhomes. The state program will not apply in jurisdictions that enforce their own building codes (having elected to continue local enforcement) or that opt out of state residential building code enforcement. The State Fire Marshal desires to contract with local government officials and electrical permit issuing agents to serve as issuing agents for these permits.
Under contracts with the state, local issuing agents will be paid a fee of $15 for issuing a building permit and collecting and transmitting permit fees to the state. The State Fire Marshal’s office is seeking issuing agents in every county participating in the state program. Issuing agents could be electric departments or other issuing agents currently serving as electrical inspection issuing agents, or a city or county office. All inspections will be scheduled through the State Fire Marshal’s office using an automated system and not through the issuing agent.
The State Fire Marshal’s office will be conducting an informational webinar to outline the process for building permit issuance for any who might be interested in becoming an issuing agent. You may pre-register for this interactive webinar or ask questions relating to the webinar by emailing greg.adams@tn.gov. Written materials for the webinar will be emailed to you for printing prior to the webinar’s start time.
If you want to participate, on July 29, log on to http://stateoftennessee.na6.acrobat.com/residentialpermits/ at 9 A.M. (CST) to attend the webinar. To hear audio for the webinar, call 615-532-2242 (outside area code 615, call 877-436-2482). While additional training will be offered for issuing agents, anyone who is possibly interested in serving as an issuing agent should participate in this informational webinar.
