On Monday, October 6, 2025, the Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed Resolution 25-238, temporarily suspending the acceptance, processing, and approval of construction plan approvals, grading permits, and building permits.
This suspension comes due to a surge in demand for project reviews. The City of Spring Hill needs additional time to assess how much remaining sewer capacity could be allocated by these applications, to ensure compliance with legally binding Ordinances, Tennessee law, and the TDEC Consent Order.
Lifting of this suspension is subject to several criteria:
- BOMA is provided an updated, weekly report with accurate counts of active building permits, listed by use and type, with the additional sewer capacity that is allocated. The information in this report will be made available through a public-facing dashboard on the City of Spring Hill website.
- BOMA is provided a report of pending and approved development applications and construction plans, listed by use and type, with the additional sewer capacity that is allocated. The information in this report will be made available through a public-facing dashboard on the City of Spring Hill website.
- BOMA is provided with a report no later than November 17, 2025, of estimated sewer capacity, inclusive of all active building permits, development sites, approved construction plans, pending construction plans, and sewer reservations.
The only exceptions to the suspension of applications are items related to the critical infrastructure clause of the TDEC Consent Order, as well as applications associated with Legacy Pointe (Ordinance 22-24) and Spring Hill Commerce Center (Ordinance 22-26) due to associated committed sewer capacity reservations.
This Resolution is set to expire on November 18, 2025, unless otherwise extended by the BOMA.

Sewer Capacity Breakdown
At the October 20, 2025 BOMA meeting, City Staff shared a spreadsheet with a detailed breakdown of sewer allocation by project. That can be found by clicking here.
Developers have been asked to review the spreadsheet and let City Staff know of any changes by Tuesday, October 28th at noon. This will allow Staff to update any discrepancies and prepare a policy resolution for consideration by BOMA at the November 3rd meeting.
Please direct any questions regarding discrepancies through email to Carter Napier, Dan Allen, and Dara Sanders.
