Nuisance Program

The Franklin and Williamson counties Boards of Commissioners have found necessary to develop rules & regulations because of the economic & population growth without the parallel growth of facilities to recycle, reuse & conserve natural resources and solid wastes.  This has resulted in a rising tide of scrap and waste material of all kinds, including but not limited to: junk automobiles, appliances, junk mobile homes; excessive amounts of refuse, dangerous buildings & illegal dumping of refuse which causes serious hazards to the public health, safety welfare & happiness of county residents.

• Inspectors investigate & try to abate health hazards caused by general nuisances, solid waste, insect & rodent control and dangerous buildings.
• Our department uses regulatory authority to enforce compliance.
