The Metro Nashville department that handles building, plumbing and electrical permits and inspections for projects inside Davidson County.
Metro Codes Administration is the local government department that issues building, plumbing and electrical permits and carries out inspections for work in Nashville and Davidson County. Its website explains which projects need permits, how to apply and how to schedule inspections. Homeowners who remodel a bathroom in the city may need to deal with the office, especially when plumbing or electrical work changes.
For a bathroom project, the site is the place to confirm permit rules, find applications and learn how inspections are scheduled. Nearby cities and counties have their own offices and rules, so we check the one that serves your address. We prepare drawings and information, and officials make the decisions.
