Contractors MUST have a City of Germantown Business Tax License. This license allows contractors to legally work within the city.

Demolition pemits allow permission to demolish primary structures within the city limits of Germantown. In accordance with Shelby County, a demolition permit must be filled out both with the city and with the county. This dual-approval process ensures a comprehensive review and adherence to all relevant safety and environmental regulations. Obtaining a demolition permit also helps to streamline the process by providing a single point of contact for inspections and ensures proper asbestos abatement procedures are followed (if applicable), protecting the health of workers and the surrounding community.
