Frequently Asked Questions

What permits are required to build a custom home in Manchester?

A state residential building permit and a City of Manchester building permit are both required. We manage the complete permit process through the Health & Codes Department (931-723-1464).

Do I need a contractor's license?

Licensed contractors must provide a contractor's license and proof of insurance to obtain a permit. Homeowners can build their own residence with a homeowner permit. We coordinate all licensing requirements.

How do I find the zoning for my lot?

Contact Manchester Health & Codes at 931-723-1464 or the Community Development office at 931-461-3515. We verify zoning early and flag any lot-specific restrictions.

Are fire sprinkler systems required in homes?

Fire sprinkler systems are not required in one- and two-family dwellings under Tennessee state residential code. We build code-compliant homes without sprinklers unless you request them.

What if my property is near a waterway?

Properties near the Little Duck River or other waterways require stormwater management review and grading permits. We coordinate all site work to meet city requirements.

Can I do my own renovation work on my home?

Homeowners can perform repairs on their own residence, but a building permit is still required before starting. We can help with permit applications and inspection coordination.
