Deputy Inspectors - Issuing Agents

This solicitation seeks qualified “issuing agents” to issue building and/or electrical permits on behalf of the State of Tennessee. Contractors will collect the State‑mandated permit fee plus a per‑permit issuing‑agent fee (up to $5 for electrical permits and up to $15 for building permits), remit all State funds, and be reimbursed monthly after the State receives the fees. The work requires internet access, a computer or tablet for electronic issuance, and strict compliance with state rules, privacy statutes, and conflict‑of‑interest provisions. No travel or overhead compensation is provided; contractors must handle all costs themselves. • Issue and record building and electrical permits per Tennessee Administrative Rules 0780‑02‑01 and 0780‑02‑23. • Collect, transmit, and remit State permit fees; receive only the per‑permit agent fee reimbursement. • Maintain required insurance (workers’ comp, automobile liability) and keep detailed records for five years. • Comply with extensive eligibility, conflict‑of‑interest, and data‑privacy requirements, and submit all qualification evidence by June 30 2027.
