The cities and unincorporated areas of Sumner
County have experienced significant growth and development issues since the
1970s. The 2000 population of Sumner
County was 130,449 and is projected to be at 233,998 by 2035. The entire greater Nashville region continues
to grow because of affordable housing, excellent schools, low-traffic congestion
levels, nearby recreational opportunities, and rich cultural and natural heritages. Short- and long-range planning and zoning enforcement
ensure residents and visitors continue to enjoy the overall high and improving
quality of life in Sumner County.
The Sumner County Planning & Zoning Department
is primarily responsible for planning, zoning, and
zoning enforcement in unincorporated areas of the county outside of municipal
planning regions. The Department
coordinates these activities in cooperation with the County’s
eight
municipalities and their planning departments. The
Planning &
Zoning Department interprets and administers the County’s Zoning
Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and Nuisance Abatement Resolution. Additionally, municipal planning departments
and the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) are working on
long range plans that will be reflected in a future county-wide comprehensive plan.

Department and its responsibilities are available on the left or by contacting the Department directly.
