Frequently asked questions for Robertson County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Robertson County Development Office / Regional Planning Commission is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.

Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 615-384-3666.
How long might review take?
N/A; no current county review timeline published.
How are inspections scheduled?
Discuss the project with the Development Office before beginning. Submit the permit package with construction plans, site information, recorded deed, survey or plat, driveway permit, septic or sewer documentation, and any required floodplain material. Inspections include footing/foundation, rough plumbing and mechanical when applicable, framing, trade finals, building final, and certificate of occupancy; call 615-384-3666 for scheduling instructions.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Robertson County materials identify the 2018 International Building Code and 2018 International Residential Code as the applicable building-code editions for county permitting, with the county zoning resolution and floodplain requirements also applying. New construction requires a building permit. Under the Robertson County private act, an alteration must exceed $3,000 in value before the county permit requirement applies; confirm the current interpretation with the Development Office. City jurisdictions may have separate permitting, and copies of city permits are provided to the county when applicable.
