The Greeneville Planning Department is located on the second floor of Town Hall, 200 North College Street, in downtown Greeneville.  In addition to full-time Town staff, Greeneville maintains a contract with the Local Planning Assistance Office of the Tennessee Dept. of Economic and Community Development.  This arrangement provides citizens with the opportunity for face-to-face meetings with their local planner, who is backed up with the resources of the State of Tennessee.

The responsibilities of the Planning Department include:

Review of and recommendations concerning site plans, subdivision plats, alley vacating requests, annexation proposals, rezoning requests, and other development-related issues.

Development of proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, and related ordinances.

Periodic updating of the comprehensive plan (Population and Economy Study; Major Street and Road Plan; Land Use Plan; Community Facilities Plan; and Open Space and Recreation Plan).

Providing staff for the Greeneville Regional Planning Commission and Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission.

Most importantly, the Town Planner is available for call and walk-in traffic, to answer questions about development-related issues, and to inform citizens and developers about the development process in Greeneville.
