T.C.A. §§ 68-120-101, et seq., authorize the state fire marshal to adopt minimum statewide building construction safety standards and to adopt rules and regulations pertinent to those standards. Under rules of the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, Division of Fire Prevention, Chapter 0780-02-02.01, the state fire marshal has adopted:
The International Building Code, 2012 edition, published by the International Code Council Inc. (ICC), except for Chapter 11 (accessibility) and Chapter 34 (accessibility for existing buildings);
The International Fuel Gas Code, 2012 edition;
The International Mechanical Code, 2012 edition;
The International Plumbing Code, 2012 edition;
The International Property Maintenance Code, 2012 edition;
The International Fire Code, 2012 edition; and
The International Energy Conservation Code, 2012 edition.
​In addition, The Life Safety Code (NFPA No. 101), 2012 edition, published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), has been adopted for state buildings, educational occupancies, and any other occupancy requiring an inspection by the state fire marshal for initial licensure. Emergency rules filed June 1, 2018 specify that for classrooms, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 2018 edition "Classroom Door Locking to Prevent Unwanted Entry" provisions do not apply to those educational facilities.
A municipality may also choose to exempt one-family and two-family dwellings from statewide building construction standards. To do so requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the governing body. The resolution expires one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of next general municipal election, or sooner as may be set forth in the adopting resolution. The exemption can be continued with the passage of a new resolution by the governing body. The state fire marshal shall be notified whenever action is take to exempt or repeal an exempting action. The notification shall include a certified copy of the resolution opting out of the provisions, the date of the next election for the legislative body, and the name and mailing address of the person responsible by law for recordkeeping.
For other than one-family and two-family dwelling construction, it has adopted the ICC Building Code and either (a) the ICC Fire Code or (b) the NFPA iform Fire Code;
A Tennessee Attorney General opinion dated March 11, 1985, opines that a municipality may not require a county to obtain a building permit for construction of a county building used in the county’s governmental capacity when that requirement is not authorized by statute. The laws is ambiguous with respect to such a requirement. However, it does appear to be the intent of T.C.A. §§ 68-120-101, et seq., that municipal building and fire codes that meet the requirements of that statute and of Rule 0780-02-02 apply to municipal, county, state, and private buildings. If for some reason the municipal building and fire codes did not apply, presumably, municipal fire prevention officials in their capacities as assistants to the state fire marshal under T.C.A. § 68-120-108 could enforce against municipal, county, state, and private buildings the statewide building construction safety standards adopted by the state fire marshal.
An ordinance mandating sprinklers in one-family and two-family residential dwellings and/or townhouses requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the governing body. Mandatory sprinkler requirements shall be voted on separate from any other ordinance addressing building construction safety standards. Where ordinance passage requires two readings the ordinance must be read in two specially-called meetings held on different days at least two weeks apart. Where ordinance passages requires three readings the final two readings must occur on two different days at least two weeks apart. The mandatory sprinkler requirement may be repealed in the same manner required it its adoption, except for sprinkler requirements adopted prior to April 27, 2012, which can be repealed in the customary manner. A sprinkler mandate shall not apply to manufactured homes. T.C.A. § 68-120-101.

T.C.A. §§ 68-102-117 thru 122, establish procedures that may be used by assistants to the state commissioner of commerce and insurance (generally, fire chiefs) to cause the removal of a dangerous building or defective conditions. The expense of the repair or removal may be charged to the owner. If the owner fails to pay within 30 days, the officer may place a lien on the property for the expenses plus a 25 percent penalty. The officer must file the lien in the county register’s office to make it valid.

It is the duty of the "corporate authorities of any city or town" to examine theaters and other public entertainment facilities to determine if all necessary safeguards are provided to avoid "accident by fire or panic." If such facilities are deficient in any respect, it is likewise their duty to require "such alterations as will [promote] the public safety." Plans for such buildings must be approved by the "proper municipal authorities" before construction begins, and failure to make prescribed alterations will result in license forfeiture and building closure. T.C.A. § 68-101-102.
Public Garages in Buildings Occupied for "Habitational Purposes"
State law contains detailed prescriptions for constructing a public garage as part of a building used for "habitational purposes" and deals with fire walls, fireproof materials, sprinklers, etc. T.C.A. § 68-101-103(a).
Energy Conservation in New Buildings
The state legislature adopted by reference the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code published by the International Code Council as the minimum requirements for effective use of energy in new buildings. T.C.A. § 4-3-734. Local jurisdictions apparently have the option of adopting the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code with 2002 amendments, published by the International Code Council, rather than enforcing the code adopted by the state. Amendments to these codes cannot become effective until approved by the General Assembly or one of its committees. The code adopted applies to "... new buildings and structures or portions thereof and additions to existing buildings that provide facilities or shelter for public assembly, educational, business, mercantile, institutional, storage, and residential occupancies, as well as those portions of factory and industrial occupancies designed primarily for human occupancy."
Non-residential farm buildings, temporary buildings used exclusively for construction, and other specifically listed uses are exempted. Apparently, one of these codes must be adopted and enforced by all local governments, even if the local government has not otherwise adopted or enforced other building codes. T.C.A. §§ 13-19-101, et seq.
A municipality may charge a fee to cover administrative costs of enforcing this code. The fee "may not accrue to the general revenue of the local government or by any other application become subject to laws regulating local taxation". T.C.A. § 13-19-107.
The local building inspector is responsible for requiring construction, enlargement, or substantial alteration of new public buildings to meet the minimum specifications in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and any further amendments, supplements or subsequent editions. For public buildings for which a local building inspector is the responsible authority, a local government may select the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design or disability accessibility specifications from the codes or publications of other nationally recognized agencies or organizations. This responsibility is shared with the State Building Commission for state buildings and with the state fire marshal for buildings subject to his or her review. These requirements apply to buildings constructed by local governments and other publicly used buildings, such as theaters, restaurants, hotels, factories, office buildings, stadiums, hospitals, voting areas, shopping areas, and convention centers. Provision is made for waivers under specified limited circumstances, and local governments are exempted from fines or penalties for non-compliance. T.C.A. §§ 68-120-201–205.
Also, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires local governments to comply with either the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards or the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines in constructing or substantially altering any building, facility, or structure.

Cities adopting building codes by reference must adopt the complete codes by ordinance. Cities may adopt amendments to building codes published by original publishers in one of two ways: by ordinance or by administrative regulations compiled by the building official. Tennessee Code Annotated sets forth the procedure for both methods. To adopt amendments by ordinance, a city follows the adopting procedures provided by its charter. To adopt amendments by administrative regulation, the building official compiles the regulations and gives them to the governing body of the city. The governing body may reject the building official's regulations by resolution. If the governing body does not reject the regulations within 90 calendar days or after its second official meeting following receipt of the regulations, whichever is later, the regulations become effective. Building codes and their amendments must be available for public inspection in the city recorder's office at least 15 days before they are adopted.
This section sets forth procedures for adopting codes and published amendments by reference as authorized by T.C.A. § 6-54-501 et seq. T.C.A. § 6-54-501(1) defines "code" as "any published compilation of rules and regulations which have been prepared by various technical trade associations and shall include specifically, but not be limited to, building codes; plumbing codes; electrical wiring codes ... together with any other code which embraces rules and regulations pertinent to a subject which is a proper municipal legislative matter." In this publication, the term "building code(s)" will be used to refer to any or all of these codes. "City recorder" includes "city clerk." A step-by-step guide [2] is included at the end of this section. Sample ordinances, regulations and resolutions are included at the end of this section.
MTAS-1094
Cities may not adopt by reference the penalty clauses of any building code adopted.[6] Penalties for building code violations should be set forth in the ordinance adopting the code by reference. See Sample 1, "Adopting building codes by reference with intent to adopt amendments by ordinance," [3]or Sample 2, "Adopting building codes by reference with intent to adopt amendments administratively" [4].
The statute does not specify that rejection of amendments must be by written instrument. However, a written resolution is an effective way to keep a record of the votes on each amendment considered and what action was taken on each. See Sample 3, "Resolution rejecting specific amendments to building codes." [5] If the rejection is not by written instrument, the meeting minutes should contain an accurate reference to the specific amendment considered and either a roll call vote or a notation that the vote to reject was effected by at least a two-thirds majority of the total membership of the board.
If a city decides to adopt a specific amendment, T.C.A. provides two alternate methods. The first method is straightforward. The governing body of the city passes an ordinance adopting the published amendments by reference. [16] As with complete building codes adopted by reference, amendments to building codes must be on file in the recorder's office at least 15 days before the ordinance incorporating them by reference is adopted. [17] If the ordinance adopting the building code is in the city's municipal code, the ordinance adopting the amendment should be written to amend the municipal code section and not the original ordinance. See Sample 4, "Ordinance incorporating amendments to building codes—amending a municipal code." [6] If the ordinance adopting the building code is not in a municipal code, the ordinance should be written to amend the ordinance that adopted the building code. See Sample 5, "Ordinance incorporating amendments to building codes—amending an existing ordinance." [7]
The second method of adopting published amendments to building codes by reference is a bit more complicated. It is not clearly set forth in the statutes but is outlined in T.C.A. § 6-54-502(c)–(e). See the step-by-step guide [2] for a simplified version of this method. So that anyone reading the original ordinance adopting the building code by reference will know how to locate amendments to the building code, the intent to have the municipal code official adopt amendments administratively should be set forth in that ordinance. See Sample 2, "Adopting building codes by reference with intent to adopt amendments administratively." [4]
For cities with municipal code sections adopting building codes by reference, a footnote should be added referring to administrative regulations that adopt amendments. The footnote should be updated each time the building official adopts new amendments and should identify by date and source the amendments adopted. See Sample 6, "Municipal Code chapter adopting the International Building Code with intent to adopt amendments administratively, and footnote to administrative regulations." [8]
The statute does not provide the procedure the municipal code official must follow to "adopt administrative regulations," but the official should not write the regulations to amend the original ordinance adopting the building code by reference. A city's governing body may delegate administrative functions to subordinate officials.[20] However, an ordinance must be amended by an act of "equal dignity," i.e., another ordinance. [21] It is a legislative act, [22] and legislative acts may not be delegated. [23] So that the regulations are easily accessible to interested persons, the official should put them in a binder with identifying labels. See Sample 7, "Administrative regulations to adopt amendments to building codes." [9]
While the statute does not specify when the administrative regulations are considered "adopted," it does provide that the regulations become effective upon the expiration of the 90-day period. [32] The expiration of the 90-day period is the final step in adopting the administrative regulations.[33] It is the date of the second meeting of the governing body after publication of the regulations or after 90 days, whichever is later, and should be considered the date the regulations are adopted. So that a clear record is kept of the administrative procedures, the adoption date should appear on the regulations. See Sample 7, "Administrative regulations to adopt amendments to building codes." [9] Since the 15-day filing period requirement is in place to give the public a chance to look at the regulations prior to their adoption, [34] they must be completed before the 90-day period ends. If the administrative regulations are on file in the recorder's office at least 15 days before the 90-day period expires, the requirement will be met.
MTAS-1096
Usually every three years, the publishers of building codes will issue a completely new edition of a code. The new code should not be treated as an amendment to an existing code and adopted administratively by the building official. [35] In such cases, an ordinance must be passed by the governing body to adopt the new code. [36] The administrative procedures apply only to "changes and amendments" to codes adopted by reference, [37] and not to complete codes, which must be adopted by ordinance. [38] The ordinance should amend the ordinance that originally adopted the code, as amended, unless the original ordinance was codified. If the original ordinance was codified in a municipal code, the ordinance should be written to amend the municipal code. See Sample 8, "Ordinance adopting new editions to building codes—amending an existing ordinance," [10] and Sample 9, "Ordinance adopting new editions to building codes—amending a municipal code," [11] for sample ordinances adopting new codes where a code was adopted by reference previously.

In the 2010 Legislative Session, the General Assembly passed Public Chapter No. 529, the Tennessee Clean Energy Future Act of 2009. Central to the bill, which amended T.C.A. § 68-120-101, are authorization for adoption of energy efficiency standards and implementation of the broadened statewide building standards that took effect July 1, 2010. Currently, state requirements apply only to municipal, county, state, and certain private buildings, newly constructed one- and two-family dwellings. and include regulation of various structural and safety factors.
Applicability of the standards, however, is not absolute as this legislation effectively created three classes of code enforcement across the state:
1. Exempt – Cities where local building codes and local code enforcement meet state minimum standards. These cities will continue to adopt and enforce their own building codes.
2. Nonexempt state enforcement – Cities where local residential building codes and local residential code enforcement do not meet minimum state standards. Here, at the request of the city or upon the department of commerce and insurance’s own initiative, the state will enforce state-adopted building codes.
3. Opt-out – Cities that have passed a resolution exempting their jurisdiction from the applicability of minimum state standards for one and two-family dwellings.
Cities can avoid state enforcement by adopting and enforcing codes that meet minimum state standards. However, where cities do not meet these state minimums, the state standards will apply as will state enforcement. Cities also have limited authority to opt out of the application of the state standards in their jurisdictions.
MTAS-1122
The intent of the legislation, and the hope of the state entities charged with enforcing it, is to encourage as many cities as possible to become exempt. Obtaining exempt status not only provides a city and its residents with the highest level of protection and safety in new home construction, it also allows a city to retain local control of its own development.
The designation “exempt” was already defined prior to passage of this legislation. Under that previous definition an exempt city was one that had adopted the building and fire codes required by the state, was adequately enforcing those codes, and performing reviews of construction plans and specifications. Under this new regulatory scheme, however, the requirements for obtaining exempt status, and thus the definition of “exempt,” have changed. For purposes of this writing, “exempt” as defined by the new legislation is assumed.
The legislation requires a city to adopt and enforce minimum building codes to become exempt. The specific prerequisites for exemption are set out in the state fire marshal’s rules and regulations; however, the general requirements are as follows:
Furthermore, an exempt city’s building code edition for one- and two-family dwellings must be current within seven years of publication unless otherwise approved by the state fire marshal. If your city meets and adequately enforces the aforementioned standards then you will retain local control and be exempt from statewide codes and enforcement.
According to these requirements, a city may choose to adopt and enforce codes for specific buildings, and state enforcement will apply where the city is not regulating and enforcing. Hence, within the exempt city classification, there will be a further breakdown of groupings. They are:
Cities that adopt and enforce codes for one- and two-family dwellings only. Here, the state will regulate buildings other than one- and two-family dwellings.
Cities that adopt and enforce codes for both one- and two-family dwellings and other buildings. Here, the state will not regulate within the city’s jurisdiction except state buildings, educational facilities, etc.

MTAS-1126
The Department of Commerce and Insurance is complying with the state law. A survey of local governments relating to the enforcement of one- and two-family residential codes shows that many local governments have adopted versions of a residential code, and that some cities have decided, either consciously or unconsciously, not to adopt or enforce codes at the local level. Failing to adopt and enforce codes is a disservice to the community.
Financial assistance has been available in the past from the state. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is another important partner in the energy code process. TVA supports energy codes and is a reliable source of information about effective enforcement. This link provides information from TVA on ways to make homes more energy efficient and on rebate programs: https://www.energyright.com/ [13]
No. There is no state law that requires a city to adopt a building or fire code. However, if a city or town decides it does not want codes to be enforced in the town, it must apply for an exemption or strictly follow an “opt-out” process as described in T.C.A. § 68-120-101. If a city or town wants to have codes enforced for residential homes, but does not want to do it itself, the State Fire Marshal’s Office will enforce codes for those buildings. If you adopt a code, you must apply for a Local Government Residential Exemption Authorization. The form is available on the State of Tennessee website at: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/commerce/documents/fire_prevention/forms/FireResidentialExemptApp.pdf [14]
You can find the current list of addopted codes on the State of Tennessee website: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/commerce/documents/fire_prevention/posts/2016.08.04_sfmo_code_adoption_and_history.pdf [15]
Effective August 4, 2016, the State of Tennessee adopted the 2012 editions of the International Building Code, International Fire Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Property Maintenance Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International Existing Building Code, and the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. Some of these codes were adopted with amendments. More information on the state’s adopted codes are available on the State of Tennessee website: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/commerce/documents/fire_prevention/posts/2016.08.04_sfmo_code_adoption_and_history.pdf [15]

The ISO Buidling Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) program assigns each municipality a BCEGS grade of 1 (exemplary commitment to building-code enforcement) to 10. ISO develops advisory rating credits that apply to ranges of BCEGS classifications (1-3, 4-7, 8-9, 10). A grade of 98 is given if a community refuses to participate in BCEGS. ISO gives insurers BCEGS classifications, BCEGS advisory credits, and related underwriting information.

The BCEGS is a process and resource that benefits communities by regular evaluation of the community’s building codes and inspection efforts. This process helps communities maintain current codes and follow current code enforcement practices, as communities with strong codes and code enforcement should demonstrate better loss experience and enjoy favorable insurance rates. The BCEGS is a credit-only program for new buildings, so insurance rates should not increase following a survey, but may decrease for new buildings if the classification is good enough to warrant credit. Existing buildings are not subject to the BCEGS program, and the community’s BCEGS rating does not affect the insurance rates for existing buildings.

The Tennessee Clean Energy Future Act of 2009 took effect July 1, 2010. The act amended T.C.A. § 68-120-101, adopted energy efficiency standards and broadened statewide building standards to cover newly constructed one- and two-family dwellings in addition to municipal, county, state and certain private buildings.
The legislation created three classes of code enforcement across the state:
Exempt — These are cities where local building codes and local code enforcement meet state minimum standards. Exempt cities adopt and enforce their own building codes.
Non-exempt state enforcement (opt-in) — These are cities where local residential building codes and local residential code enforcement do not meet state minimum standards. Here, at the request of the city or upon the department of commerce and insurance’s own initiative, the state will enforce state-adopted building codes.
Opt-out — These are cities that have passed a resolution exempting their jurisdiction from the applicability of state minimum standards for one and two-family dwellings. Cities can avoid state enforcement by adopting and enforcing codes that meet minimum state standards. However, where cities do not meet these state minimums, the state standards will apply as will state enforcement. Cities also have limited authority to opt out of the application the state standards in their jurisdictions.
MTAS-1178
If a city cannot or decides not to adopt and enforce the minimum standards, the state will enforce the applicable statewide codes in the city. The commissioner of commerce and insurance is authorized to contract with local governments to use their employees for inspections of one- and two-family residences. These contracts allow inspectors to charge a fee as set out by the state fire marshal’s fee schedule. Deputy building inspectors must be state certified as a:
Whether or not it is enforcing a locally adopted code or has no code at all, a city can completely avoid state regulation of one and two-family dwellings in its jurisdiction by opting out of the statewide standards. This can be accomplished by a specific and recurring resolution process. This requires a city to pass a resolution by a two-thirds vote of the governing body exempting one- and two-family dwellings in its jurisdiction from the applicability of the statewide standards and to forward the resolution to the state fire marshal. The resolution, however, expires 180 days following the date of the next election. Therefore, each new governing body must pass a subsequent resolution to continue avoiding applicability of the state standards.
The counties and cities that have opted-out of the residential inspection program represent approximately 20 percent of the state’s population. A list of the residential inspection program status [19] of all Tennessee counties and cities is presented later in this section.
MTAS-2083
A municipality may be authorized to conduct electrical inspections within its jurisdiction, and to charge a fee for said inspections, by the Commissioner of Commerce and Insurance. T.C.A. § 68-102-143(b)(1). According to the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance [20], thirty-one (31) municipalities were authorized to conduct electrical inspections as of March 2017.
MTAS-589
Smoke alarms that are required in one and two-family dwellings must be installed in accordance with the International Residential Code published by the International Code Council and the manufacturer’s instructions unless these conflict with applicable codes adopted by the fire marshal. Smoke alarms may be battery operated when installed in dwellings without commercial power. T.C.A. §§ 68-102-151 and 68-120-111.

The Get Alarmed, TN! program has been very successful in reducing residential fire fatalities, and a smoke alarm inspection/installation program should be part of every community's residential inspection program and focused fire prevention efforts.
