Community Development Director

Anthony Casteel

As Director of the Community Development Department for the City of Athens, Tennessee, I would like to personally thank you for visiting our City's web page.

As you will notice on our web page, the Community Development Department consists of the Division of Building and Inspections, the Division of Codes Enforcement and Cemeteries, and the Administration. The Administration consists of the Athens Municipal Regional Planning Commission, the Athens Board of Zoning Appeals, the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, and the administering of the National Flood Insurance Program.

Athens is a thriving community with an abundance of natural resources, a beautiful setting, and a wonderful place to live and work. Athens is known and recognized for its low crime rate, low taxes, and the ideal place to locate and raise a family, being halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga with I-75 running through this pictorial setting.

Please feel free to either visit us at 815 N. Jackson Street or contact us by phone at 423-744-2750, and again, thank you for visiting our web site.
