Do I need a permit for a modern cabin in Tennessee?

Maybe, you need to check! In Tennessee, while the state created a building code, the county and local governments can choose to either keep it, opt out completely of all building codes, or create their own building code. If they have opted out, you are able to build without permits, however, because this status has to be renewed and codes may be instated later, it can be more risky. You must check with your local government for the status of their building codes and whether building permits or zoning permits are necessary for your modern cabin.
