Permit Office (AHJ)
City of Memphis Division of Planning and Development, Office of Construction Code Enforcement
Shelby County · Tennessee
MEP, structural, civil, and energy-compliance engineering for Memphis projects — permitted through City of Memphis Division of Planning and Development, Office of Construction Code Enforcement and designed to the city's adopted codes and amendments.
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — engineered as one system, stamped by licensed professionals, and documented for fast permit approval.
Structural systems designed to the loads your state actually imposes — gravity, seismic, wind, and snow — with drawings built to get approved the first time.
Site engineering that clears local review — grading, drainage, and utilities designed to each jurisdiction's published standards from day one.
Energy compliance handled as engineering, not paperwork — documentation matched to the exact code edition your permitting jurisdiction enforces.
Memphis is a local code jurisdiction and does not merely rely on Tennessee's default statewide code; the City and Shelby County adopted the 2018 International Codes with local amendments. Local zoning, floodplain, drainage, and fire requirements remain separate reviews and can affect the permit set.
Memphis remains a major air-cargo, rail, trucking, and distribution market centered on FedEx and the airport, while healthcare and research around St. Jude and the medical district remain important. Regional automotive and battery investment, including West Tennessee's BlueOval City supply chain, adds industrial and logistics demand to the metropolitan market.
Reviewed 2026-09-11. Code editions and local requirements can change; confirm the current requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before design.
Memphis commercial permits and plan review are administered through the Division of Planning and Development's Office of Construction Code Enforcement, using the city's online permitting and plan-review process. Building, fire, zoning, site, and floodplain requirements can involve separate reviews, so applicants should coordinate development approvals and utility information before submitting final construction documents.
