Roane County Government
The Building Codes and Zoning Department enforces the 2024 International Building Codes together with the Roane County’s zoning ordinances. We’re here to help builders, designers, and property owners understand and comply with Roane County’s permitting, zoning, and inspection process. Our goal is to make it easier to meet requirements, avoid issues, and protect the community’s safety and investments.
Hours: Monday–Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm
Building permit applications and inspection requests must be submitted by 4:00pm. Submittals made between 3:30pm and 4:00pm may not be processed until the following business day.
NOTICE: In Tennessee, consumers may file criminal charges against a contractor or home improvement service provider for Felony Theft and Fraud. Under the law, consumers may attempt to criminally prosecute the contractor. The felony theft law provides specific instruction to follow before filing charges.
Tennessee counties which have building codes must ensure that their codes are no older than seven years. As of January 2019, Roane County adopted the 2018 International Residential Code, replacing the 2012 Code.
