What people build around Columbia
Columbia sits on the Duck River, with cattle farms and rolling acreage across the county and growth pushing south from Spring Hill.
Farm buildings
Hay barns, cattle buildings and equipment storage serve the farms across the county.
Acreage shops
Tubular is hard to beat on an unfinished shop up to sixty feet wide.
Commercial & contractor
Contractor shops and storage buildings serve the growth along I-65 and Highway 31. Past eighty feet, red iron takes over.
Finished space
Steel truss takes drywall directly, so there’s no wood wall to build inside the steel.
We also work in cold-formed steel. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Columbia and Maury County
The city and the county each issue permits, and the county’s facilities tax applies on both sides of the line.
Inside Columbia
- No building permit is issued until the wastewater director signs the sewer connection or private wastewater disposal permit.
- Lots near the Duck River can sit in a flood zone, so we check the flood map first.
Maury County
- The Adequate Facilities Tax is 30 cents a square foot on detached garages, storage buildings and carports.
- It’s paid at the county’s Building and Zoning office, in the Walter Harlan Building at 5 Public Square.
- Call (931) 375-3001 with questions about the tax.
Farm & engineering
- Non-residential farm buildings are exempt from Tennessee’s state minimum standards.
- Our generic engineering packages are wet-sealed, and occupied buildings are Risk Category II.
Thirty cents a foot adds up. On a 40′ × 60′ shop, Maury County’s Adequate Facilities Tax comes to about $720, and it applies to every detached garage, storage building and carport, whatever it’s made of. We include it in the numbers so the comparison is complete before you commit.
We also serve Spring Hill, Mount Pleasant, Culleoka, Santa Fe and the farm ground between them. See the Nashville metro or all of Tennessee.
