There is not a state annual inspection for Tennessee. Don't know if you have to get an inspection for Nashville or not. The easiest way is to go the the DMV and ask them. They will probably have the correct answer. But, I can tell you from experience that the local DMV is not always correct. I made the local office manager mad because TN had new rules in place when I registered my roadster. He was not up to date on the changes and challenged me about my registration. Once I showed him the new state laws he got madder since I was correct. Ended up sending me to the Office of Automobile Fraud and Theft in Nashville. They called me and we all had a laugh after I explained to them that the local guy didn't know squat about his job. Got my stuff pronto. Really easy to deal with. We will all just have to ask a lot of questions as we get nearer to the builds, but I don't expect any real hassles.
