E - Permits
Welcome to the Codes, Online Permit system.
The Department of Codes & Building Safety is pleased to introduce “E-Permits” as an expansion of our services which are now available, online. With this latest enhancement, the department is open via the internet to transact routine business 24/7. Registered users of the E-Permit system may now:
- make inspection requests,
- schedule inspections
- check the status of inspections
- pay reinspection fees online with a credit card
- apply for ‘trade permits’ (plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits)
- pay permit fees, and
- self-issue permits to themselves.
Within the next couple of months future enhancements will also allow online application for ‘building permits’.
Contractors can get registered and obtain a User name and password by emailing KivaCitizenLogin@nashville.gov or calling our Customer Service Supervisor, Carla Langley-Smith, at 615 862-6248 with your company name, full address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address.
