You need to start on that site which can be found using google and searching for Tennessee State Statutes.

You've got a lot of reading to do.

However it appears you might be afoul of your localities building and land use codes.

First, how large is your coop? Any electrical or plumbing? What exactly does your zoning code say about accessory buildings? I know that here if a building is smaller than a certain square footage and shorter than a certain height it does not require a building permit. However, if larger or taller than those figures, it does. Bottom line is a typical home storage shed is smaller; an extra large storage shed or garage would require a building permit. I think that it is something like 120 sq ft and 10' tall, but did not check it.
