Separate permit activity from pending planning applications

Memphis's building-and-zoning directory links Develop 901 permit-history searches and a project-location map. A separate pending-applications link provides documents for adjustment, land-use and landmarks cases. Check which record you are reading before drawing conclusions about a project.

Check the geographic scope of the development code

Develop 901 identifies its Unified Development Code as the zoning and subdivision code for Memphis and unincorporated Shelby County. Its page links the zoning atlas and current update materials; confirm the jurisdiction rather than applying the code to every municipality in the county.

Questions about Memphis

Which area does the Memphis-area Unified Development Code cover?

Develop 901 states that the code covers the City of Memphis and unincorporated Shelby County. That description does not establish coverage for every separately incorporated city in Shelby County; confirm the property's jurisdiction first.

What is the median home value in Memphis?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimate for the median value of owner-occupied homes in Memphis is $169,000 in 2024 dollars. This describes owner-reported values over a five-year period. For a purchase or sale today, request recent comparable transactions for the specific neighborhood and property type.

What is the median rent in Memphis?

The 2020–2024 ACS median monthly gross rent for Memphis is $1,181 in 2024 dollars. Gross rent includes contract rent and applicable utility and fuel costs. It is a historical survey estimate, not today's asking rent or a quote for an individual property.

Does this describe a specific neighborhood?

These figures cover Memphis city, Tennessee. City boundaries, ZIP codes, school attendance areas, and named neighborhoods can differ. Use a property's address to check the details that matter to you; a city-wide median will not describe every block or home.

How can I compare Memphis with another place?

Use the city comparison to view figures from the same ACS release side by side. Then compare current property choices, your actual commute, and address-specific conditions. Differences between survey estimates can fall within their margins of error; the comparison does not rank which place is best.
