Message From The Mayor

We appreciate your taking the time to explore the latest information about the city of Pigeon Forge through our Internet web site.  As a wealth of local and international information is now available through the use of the World Wide Web, we would like to ensure that our citizens have the same immediate access to information about the city of Pigeon Forge.  Citizens are no longer restricted by the hours of city hall, but can use their computers 24 hours a day to register for programs offered by our Department of Parks and Recreation; view job openings; view calendar of events and festival; and obtain building permits and tax forms.  Watch as our web site expands to include even more, and let us know your suggestions about including other area of interest, in the “contact us” section.

Pigeon Forge has a rich history and a great sense of “community.”  We emphasize traditional values as well as progressive thinking.  The city council is attuned to the need for continued growth and economic development.  They are committed to approaching our future with careful planning and preparation, while at the same time, providing basic and expanding services in an economically prudent manner.  Our job has just begun.  New challenges and greater opportunities lie before us.  Our commitment to all of our citizens is to ensure that you will be proud of your city as it continues to develop and grow.

If you are new to the Pigeon Forge area, we hope you will consider making Pigeon Forge your home. Pigeon Forge is an excellent place to locate your family, as well as offering many advantages for businesses.

I feel blessed to have lived and raised my family in the Pigeon Forge area, and I am honored to serve as its Mayor.  The city is known for its down-home country charm, friendly people, and community pride.  I encourage you to experience for yourself the most delightful place on earth to live.

Sincerely,

Mayor Ralph Chance
