Custom Homes & Renovation in Brentwood, TN
A Williamson County city with its own codes office and its own code editions.
A Williamson County city with its own Codes Section, which enforces the 2018 International Residential Code with appendices E and F, the 2018 energy code and the 2018 pool and spa code.
Which codes does a Brentwood house follow?
The 2018 editions. Brentwood’s Codes Section enforces the 2018 International Residential Code with appendices E and F, the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code, and the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code for pools and spas.
That is worth knowing because the county around Brentwood is on a newer edition: unincorporated Williamson County has enforced the 2021 residential code since September 30, 2024. Two lots a mile apart can be drawn to different rules depending on which side of the city line they fall.
Where do Brentwood permits come from?
The Codes Section of the Planning and Codes Department, at 5211 Maryland Way, with applications through the city’s online portal. Electrical is the exception: it follows the 2017 National Electrical Code and is enforced by the State Fire Marshal’s office, so a Brentwood job has city building inspections and state electrical inspections.

Answers
Building in Brentwood: questions
Who issues building permits in Brentwood, TN?
The Codes Section of Brentwood’s Planning and Codes Department, at 5211 Maryland Way. Permits are applied for through the city’s online portal. Land just outside the city limits falls to the Williamson County Building Codes Division in Franklin instead, which enforces newer code editions, so the address decides which rules the plans are drawn to.
Which building codes does Brentwood enforce?
The 2018 International Residential Code with appendices E and F, the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code and the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Electrical work follows the 2017 National Electrical Code, which is enforced by the State Fire Marshal’s office rather than the city.
Who inspects electrical work on a Brentwood house?
The State Fire Marshal’s office, not the city. Brentwood’s Codes Section handles the building permit and its inspections, while electrical inspections follow the 2017 National Electrical Code under the state. A builder schedules both as the work reaches each stage.
How far is Brentwood from Heirloom’s base in Fairview?
About 19.9 miles, measured town center to town center. Both are in Williamson County, but they run separate codes offices, and Brentwood’s adopted code editions differ from the ones the county enforces on unincorporated land, which matters when plans are drawn.
