SB 1784 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Codes - As enacted, expands present law's requirements for when a person engages a third-party inspector to complete locally required building inspections, as authorized in present law's statewide building construction safety standards. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 68.

SB 1784 amends Tennessee law to extend the timeframe for scheduling foundation inspections of one- or two-family residential buildings from one to two working days after a request is made. This change directly affects property owners, contractors, and building inspectors who coordinate these mandatory structural checks. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-120-101(f)(1)(C), to update the inspection deadline without altering the inspection requirements themselves. The policy change takes effect July 1, 2026, providing more time for scheduling these routine building inspections.
