Ask the record

How did the Knox County Commission vote on rezoning requests?

Answer as of June 15, 2026. New records have loaded since — this answer may be out of date.

Rezoning requests come to the commission item by item, each with its own recorded roll-call vote. Here are examples straight from the minutes — some pass unanimously, some are contested. Every one links back to the official record.

A rezoning changes what may be built on a specific parcel. The commission votes on each request separately after the Planning Commission has reviewed it.
