Athens City Code

Upon verification that the applicant meets the requirements of T.C.A. § 57-3-806(b), the city mayor may issue the certificate without action by the city council. Alternatively, the city council may issue the certificate upon signature by a majority of its members. A failure on the part of the issuing authority to grant or deny the applicant's request for the certificate of compliance within 60 days of the written application shall be deemed a granting of the certificate. If an applicant is denied a certificate of compliance, the applicant may seek review of such denial by instituting an action in chancery court within 60 days of the denial.
