The Tonganoxie Building Official enforces building and nuisance codes that provide for safety, access, and compliance for all buildings in Tonganoxie. Among normal duties are review of construction applications, inspection and permitting of construction, and approval of occupancy of all buildings and their appurtenances. Fairness and impartiality guide assistance to all citizens, builders, contractors, and developers. The office also responds to nuisance violations.

The City of Tonganoxie has adopted the 2012 editions of all applicable building codes, including IBC, IRC, EBC, and IFC. Copies are available at city hall for public review.

Personal copies of codes may be purchased through the International Conference of Building Officials online book store.
