Do I need a permit for kitchen remodel in Troy?

Troy does not issue residential building permits. Troy opted out of Tennessee's state residential building codes and enforcement by a two-thirds vote of its legislative body, so no residential building permit is required. Owners can still ask the State Fire Marshal's Office for a voluntary permit and inspection, and electrical, zoning, and septic permits may still apply.

The requirements below come from Tennessee rules and describe the standard the work must still meet. They are not a statement that Troy will issue you a permit.

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether kitchen remodel needs a permit in Troy comes down to the details of your project.

Cabinet installation, countertop installation, tiling, and painting are renovation under Tennessee Rule 0780-02-23-.01, and the state building permit does not cover renovation. Adding circuits for appliances or countertop outlets is an addition to an existing electrical installation, which must be permitted and inspected under the state electrical rules or by your local electrical program. Moving a sink, running a new gas line, or removing a wall is where local codes offices commonly require permits. Confirm with your city or county before demolition.
