Research notes
Unique among Southeastern states — no analog in GA, AL, MS, NC, KY, or VA. All 95 TN counties have adopted 20-year growth plans dividing all county territory into UGB / PGA / RA exclusively. Plans negotiated by county-municipal coordination committee and certified by LGPAC. The UGB/PGA/RA assignment is a load-bearing pre-zoning input that constrains annexation eligibility, new incorporation, and infrastructure-funding priorities. Per-county shapefiles fragmented across TACIR registry and 95 county clerks — request specific county plan from the local LGPAC liaison.
