Building Inspections & Permits

The Building Inspection Division is happy to help you apply for a building permit and will inspect your project throughout the construction period to ensure the building code requirements are met.

A building permit is required to be issued before you start your construction project. If you are wondering if your project requires a building permit, please contact Sandi Anstine, the Permit Clerk, at 660-747-9135.
