Site Development Questions
Site Development Questions
(OP)
I am new at site development and have questions regarding who has the jurisdiction over the piece of land. My understanding is that sometimes the township has the jurisdictions and sometimes the county has the jurisdiction. Can someone tell me where I can find out who has the jurisdiction over the land to be developed? And if that government body has the jurisdiction, I need to comply with their code, law, ordinances when designing, is this correct? And if you have any other tips/books/websites regarding site development that you want to share, I appreciated very much. Thanks in advance for your responses and contributions.

If this is a development the that sate and natural resouces may have some jurisdiction in addition to the Corps of engineers if it near some rivers. Even without building codes electrical planning and work could be under the approval and even inspection down to the individual unit level. The state health department will have some jurisdiction over wells and sewerage.

City subdivisions:
* Street department for roads and drainage (grading permit)
* City engineer for sewers and water
* TDEC (water pollution control, local office) for NOI/SWPPP and ARAPs
* TDEC (water supply) for Class V injection wells (sink holes)
* Prelim and final plats to County Planning Commission
* USACE for anything below the flowage easement
County subdivisions:
* County Highways department for roads
* Building & Codes for drainage (grading permit)
* Building and Codes for septic areas
* Local water authority for water
* TDEC (water pollution control, central office) for STEP/STEG sewers
* TDEC (water pollution control, local office) for NOI/SWPPP and ARAPs
* TDEC (water supply) for Class V injection wells (sink holes)
* Prelim and final plats to County Planning Commission
* USACE for anything below the flowage easement
The City/County has a population of >100,000 (not including local army base) and is one of the fastest growing in TN, so they're pretty well organized. Just north of the border in the podunk KY town they had little by way of subdivision/zoning regulations. The only thing stopping unscrupulous developers from plastering the town with trailer parks and dense apartment buildings was the inability to find large enough septic areas amid all the sink holes.
