How to verify zoning in Nashville.
Nashville zoning is administered Metro-wide across Davidson County, so the same address can sit inside a satellite city with its own rules. Start at the Metro Parcel Viewer for the base district and any Urban Design Overlay, Specific Plan, or historic overlay, then read Title 17 — in Nashville the overlay and any recorded SP typically govern over the base district.

How it works
Available data, one preliminary view.
Buildability geocodes the address, queries available flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and zoning context, and runs the published Buildability Score. Reports name the sources used and the items that still need local verification.
Building in Nashville, TN.
Does Buildability make the official zoning decision in Nashville?
No. Buildability organizes preliminary property context and links to local evidence.
What does the Buildability Score measure?
The preliminary score considers nine factors: zoning, flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, utilities, terrain, and lot geometry. Availability and depth vary by address and source; Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County remains the local authority for project-specific decisions.
