Permitting is highly fragmented; the City of Memphis and other incorporated municipalities operate their own building departments and issue their own permits. The Shelby County Code Enforcement office primarily handles unincorporated areas of the county. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to additional review by the Office of Planning and Development and may be impacted by flood zone regulations near the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers.
Development in unincorporated Shelby County is subject to strict Stormwater Management and Drainage requirements due to the county's flat topography and flood-prone areas.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
