Yes, Tennessee state law generally supersedes county law due to the principle of state supremacy. This means that if there is a conflict between state law and county law, state law will prevail. However, counties can enact ordinances that are more restrictive than state law, as long as they do not conflict with it. Overall, the hierarchy places state law above local regulations.
