Development Permits

The Community Development Department ensures that all construction complies with adopted codes and is safe for the residents and visitors of Parkville. Building inspection ensures the safety of citizens through inspection of construction activities. The inspectors work closely with the community and work diligently to provide timely inspections and to keep the building community informed of changes in codes, policies and procedures. The Department also assists builders in the permit application process.

In January 2020, the City adopted the 2018 International Family of Building Codes and designated appendices via Ordinance No. 3027.
