Scams have increased recently impersonating planning and zoning agencies to solicit fraudulent fees.
The Planning Department provides design guidance, reviews zoning and subdivision applications, and shapes public policy related to growth, preservation, and development. The Planning Department also provides recommendations to the Planning Commission.
We are committed to proactive, community-based planning founded on public participation, and to the building of livable, sustainable communities.
To consolidate all land use related functions of Metro Nashville into one department, the Historic Zoning Division is now a division of the Planning Department.
