IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE NEW YEAR: On January 1, 2025 our office will begin administering the 2024 version of the International Code Council (ICC) codes and the 2023 National Electric Code (NEC).12/24/24 - 12/25/24: City of Knoxville offices will be closed for the Christmas holiday.
The City of Knoxville requires anyone who applies for a permit to be associated with a registration based on their qualifications. Different types of work will require particular registration types, occasionally in conjunction with a State of Tennessee license.
As of 2022, the City of Knoxville does not require a bond for subcontractor licenses. If you reciprocate a State of Tennessee license, you should follow the State of Tennessee's guidelines. If you have any questions regarding the State of Tennessee bond requirements, please contact them.
Please select a license registration type below to learn more about its applicability, application requirements, and how to apply for licensure with the Plans Review & Inspections Office.
