HB 1760 Tennessee House · 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.

HB 1760 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for scheduling building inspections of footers in single-family or two-family homes from one to two working days after a request is made. This change directly affects homeowners, contractors, and building inspectors who handle residential construction projects. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 68-120-101(f)(1)(C) to reflect this two-working-day timeline. The policy change aims to provide more flexibility in scheduling inspections without altering inspection standards or requirements. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, pending legislative approval.
