Zoning Permits

Introduction to the Chimney Rock Village Permitting Process:

Provided below is a list of permits for use as part of the Zoning for Chimney Rock Village.  In most cases, only one permit will be required. Yet, there are special circumstances where addendum applications may be requested and required.

Timelines:

• Contact the Zoning Administrator prior to initiating any activity that may require a zoning review or some type of zoning permit.  Any necessary fees must be paid in advance before any reviews begin.

• All permit applications have fees associated with them that must be paid at the time of the application. If a hearing or variance request is necessary, there may be additional fees required. 

• Please be aware: Depending on the type of permit requested, time frames for the entire process -  from receipt, consideration, and final approvals -  may take 4-6 weeks.  

• There is usually a minimum of 4-6 weeks for basic compliance requests. That time frame can be longer for applications requiring a public hearing or for more complex and detailed zoning compliance matters.

• Note that the Rutherford County Building Inspection Department will not issue a building permit until your project/activity has been approved by Chimney Rock Village and the correct Zoning Compliance Permit has been approved.
