Building code requires that permits be obtained for certain types of work. Permits protect you, your family, and your investment. They are designed to ensure licensed contractors do the work when required, and inspections ensure that work is done safely and that it meets the minimum code requirements.
Here's how to apply for a permit online, by email, or in person. If you have any questions, please call 316-284-6020.
