The Administrative Procedures Division (APD) within the Office of the Secretary of State aims to serve our clients, customers, and associates – government agencies, citizens of Tennessee, and judicial partners – by providing impartial, efficient, and sound contested case hearings and mediations. More than 70 state and local government agencies open an average of 8000 cases with APD each year on issues ranging from property taxes to professional licensure, civil forfeiture and seizure of assets to the provision of special education services. APD offers an important platform for citizens to contest administrative rulings from government.
