They are dividing the unincorporated areas into four regions:

North End (unincorporated parts of Soddy Daisy & Sale Creek)

Northeast (unincorporated parts of Birchwood, Ooltewah & Georgetown)

Mid-County (unincorporated parts of Signal Mountain. & Middle Valley)

Southeast (unincorporated parts of Collegedale, East Brainerd & Apison)
