Figures cover the Madison planning community (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months, compared against the average Nashville neighborhood. Source: Metro Nashville open data. Nashville’s permit data lists building permits Metro Codes has issued since October 2023 (residential and commercial building, demolition, sign and tree-removal permits; not electrical, plumbing or mechanical trade permits), with no status or completion date: permits count as active for a period after issue that depends on project cost. Change-of-contractor, amendment and use-and-occupancy records are not included. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
