Notification of Lead Paint Activities

Newly Revised Notification Form for Lead-based Paint Activities in the State of Tennessee

On July 1, 2024, the State of Tennessee Lead Hazard Program implemented the use of a new Lead-Based Paint Activity Notification form (CN-1329) for lead-based paint activities conducted in Tennessee.

The new form is an electronic, fillable form. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher installed on your computer to use the fillable form. This is a free software. Alternatively, you may print and manually complete the form for each project notification.

Beginning July 1, 2024, all lead-based paint abatement projects must pay a project notification fee based on the following criteria. If the cost of the abatement project increases due to changed orders, the firm must submit an additional fee at the fee rate times the increase abatement project amount.

There are no Lead-Based Paint notification fees for inspections, lead hazard screens, risk assessments, and clearance testing.

To submit a Notification to the Lead Hazard Program using the new fillable form, follow these steps:

1. Download new Notification form to your computer: Form N Notification of Lead-Based Paint Activity (CN-1329);
2. Save the downloaded form as a “NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE” to use for all of your future abatement projects;
3. Open the “NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE” you previously saved to your computer;
4. Rename the file by clicking File > Save As > and create the new filename using the project address that applies to the Notification you are preparing to submit (for example, your project located 1234 Main St. should be named (1234MainStNotify.pdf);
5. Before you begin entering your project information onto the form, click the “Reset All” button located in the top right corner of the notification form. You should hit the reset all button each time you begin a new project to clear any information you may have accidentally saved from a previous Notification;
6. Enter in your project information;
7. Attach a brief description of the lead-based paint abatement project activities including approximate square footage and/or number of rooms;
8. After entering all required information, save the Notification form again to your computer (File > Save); and,
9. Print a copy of the completed form, and sign and date section 6 (Certification and Signature).

You are now ready to submit the completed Notification form to the Lead-Based Paint Program by one of the following methods:
