Permits for commercial and residential buildings, and site development are issued by Permit Services following the submission of appropriate construction documents and the completion of plan reviews. Permit fees can be found under the tabs below. For more information, call 913-895-6205.
Building permits are required for the following:
- constructing, enlarging, altering or demolishing a structure or space including new structures, additions, sign support systems, decks, fences, pools, etc.
- changing the use of a building or space regardless of construction operations
- installing or replacing any building wiring or equipment, including, but not limited to branch circuits, electrical panels, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, etc.
Permit Exceptions
A building permit is not required for routine maintenance such as replacing plumbing and lighting fixtures, carpeting, painting, installing cabinets and shelving.
Obtaining a Permit
Permits for replacement of residential water heaters, HVAC units and electrical permits can be obtained without coming to the office.
