Knoxville has an older housing stock, with about a third of homes built before 1960, ranging from Queen Anne and Craftsman houses in historic districts to ranch houses and apartment buildings. Knox County requires a home improvement license for mid-size remodels, and exterior work in historic or conservation overlays needs design review.

Older homes and many apartments

Historic and conservation overlays
Knoxville-Knox County Planning lists 11 city districts under Historic (H) and Neighborhood Conservation (NC) overlays, including Fort Sanders, Fourth and Gill, Mechanicsville and Old North Knoxville. Alterations, demolition, moves and new construction in these districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Local building styles
Knox Planning's style guide documents local house types from East Tennessee Vernacular and Shotgun houses to Queen Anne, Craftsman, American Four-Square, Minimal Traditional and Ranch homes. Repairs and additions should respect the rooflines, porches and materials of the existing style.
