The City of Belle Meade has adopted a Zoning Code that covers a multitude of issues concerning residential building and use of property. The City employs a professional urban planner who enforces the code and administers approval processes for those residents whose building plans comply with the restrictions set forth in the Zoning Code. Before beginning any building project, including interior renovations, please call the City’s Planning Department. The Planning Director or Building Official will assist the homeowner and/or the architect with compliance on any building or remodeling projects.
Residents can now keep informed on all building activity since summer 2024 by searching for “public records” at the top of the CivicGov portal inked below:
