The Metro Nashville department that handles building, plumbing and electrical permits and inspections for projects inside Davidson County.
Metro Codes Administration is the local government department that issues building, plumbing and electrical permits and carries out inspections in Nashville and Davidson County. Most window treatments do not need a permit. Projects with new wiring for motors, new windows or other building work may need to deal with the office, and its website explains the process.
For window treatments, the office matters mostly for hardwired motorization, new construction and commercial spaces, where electrical or building rules may apply. Nearby cities and counties have their own offices and rules, so we check the one that serves your address. We prepare drawings and information, and officials make the decisions.
