Developers get deadlines and fee refunds
Beginning January 1, 2027, Tennessee cities and counties face deadlines for reviewing developers’ applications, development plans, and site inspections. They must approve submissions or place them on the next available planning commission or governing-body agenda within 60 business days. Written reports of problems and requests for needed information are due within 30 business days. Local governments must try to combine all requested changes into one notice. Incomplete first submissions require written notice within 30 business days; that notice does not count toward the two-report limit. After developers document that reported problems are fixed, officials have 30 business days to approve or schedule the submission. A submission is automatically approved if officials take none of the required actions within the applicable deadline. Local governments can issue no more than two written reports of problems. If problems from the second report remain unresolved, officials must deny with written reasons and specific evidence, returning 50% of total review fees paid, or conditionally approve or schedule conditional approval. Days when offices close because of a declared state emergency do not count toward deadlines. Contracts in effect on December 31, 2026, remain unchanged.
