Metro Codes does not maintain a list of all building permits issued. Please refer to the links below to locate permit-related documents that the department currently has on file.
Permit and Inspection Status
ePermits online permitting system allows users to find construction, trade, and short-term rental permits as well as property standards violations for a given property address. Users can view permit signoffs, inspection status, and property violation case updates. To find copies of corresponding inspection reports and permit tracking documents, click the “Available Reports” tab on the right side of the “Permit Summary” section.
For permit-related documents and building plans, please visit the Document of Record Search Portal where you may search by permit number, address, or map and parcel number.
Additionally, Metro Codes provides a database of building permits through Data.Nashville.gov
The Metro Data Viewer also allows users to view active building permit applications not yet issued.
Short Term Rental Permits
A database of short-term rental permits are presented in map chart, and table forms and may be filtered by permit status, date, and location.
Property Standards Violations
A current map of property violations is available through NashView. Scroll to the bottom left of the screen to select property violations.
For violation case details, that information is updated daily in the public data viewer. This data can be filtered by location, violation type, case status, and many other categories.
Metro Building and Zoning Codes
Municode provides a comprehensive list of adopted codes and local amendments to the Metro Building Code.
The Metro Parcel Viewer provides information related to a property’s zoning designation, ownership history, and permitting history.
Making a Public Records Request
Still unable to locate the documents you’re looking for? Some records are not automatically posted online for many reasons, including that they may not be of widespread interest, they are simply too large or they contain confidential information. Some records may be obtained through a Public Records Request though there are some exemptions to disclosure as determined by state law. If the record is not available online, please submit a request and we will provide any relevant files our office retains.
