Planning Commission
City council appoints a seven-member planning commission to make recommendations on applications for annexation, rezoning and ordinance amendments.
Guidelines for Citizen Participation
Guidelines for participating in a planning commission meeting.
Zoning
Planning commission and city council agendas often include zoning issues. In order to help you better understand zoning and the rezoning process, Planning Director Joseph Aydelott has provided the following overview.
Annexation
The city expands its corporate boundaries to include adjoining areas through the annexation process. In Murfreesboro, the property owner requests approximately 95 percent of all annexations. In most cases, the property owner submits a letter to the planning commission requesting annexation in order to receive city services.
Public Hearings
After conclusion of their public hearing, the planning commission will prepare a recommendation for the city council, which will also conduct a public hearing after which it will consider the adoption of an ordinance to implement the zoning, rezoning or annexation of a property.

Welcome!

and Chris Griffith, Engineering Director
The Murfreesboro Planning Department is responsible for coordinating the physical development of the city. In order to do this the planning staff is available to assist the public to obtain information regarding use and development of land in the city and to review development plans for conformance with the city's ordinances and development regulations.
Whether by telephone or in person, it is our goal to provide prompt, courteous, and professional assistance. We invite the pubic to call upon us with their inquiries regarding such matters as zoning, floodplain management, annexation, land development, land subdivision, historic zoning, and property addressing. The information on these pages is intended to be basic information regarding the department. We invite your calls and inquiries for more specific information and would welcome you to visit the planning department in person on the second floor of City Hall.
The goal of the engineering department is to provide our citizens with good, safe streets and storm drainage that functions well. Our staff is committed to improving our streets and drainage systems and we would welcome the opportunity to answer your questions.
