Schedule an Inspection

If you need an initial assessment inspection of your building, the rate is $21.00 per half hour payable in advance.  Open this form and check "Non-permit inspection" and return to city hall or e-mail your request. You may pay by telephone by calling (913) 845-2620.

If you already have a building permit and are ready for an inspection, call city hall at (913) 845-2620 or e-mail your request to get on the inspector's schedule.

Please anticipate your inspections at least two days ahead of time.

BuilderTip: new construction and remodel builders should check Schedule E above for the eligible type of construction and multiply the square feet of your project by the type unit value.  The most common is "Type 5B."  Then use that answer in Schedule A to calculate your base permit fee.  If you have additional electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work, add these to your base permit fee. New construction must also pay a development excise tax of nine cents ($0.09) per square foot of the lot.

Tip: have you verified where you can build? Some easements on your property reduce the buildable area. Zoning may also restrict the place and type of construction. If you need help to learn about easements or zoning regulations, call city hall at (913) 845-2620.
