Tips for filling out the building permit application-

Copies of plans may be substituted for drawings. The area where the building is to take place should be staked out or marked in some way before the building inspector processes the application.

Once the application is completed, return it to City Hall or call Bob Call to inspect the property. (665-3390 or 785-806-9502).

The property owner keeps the white copies of the application and permit after it’s been approved. Permit is to be displayed where it is visible from the adjacent roadway.

Should the application be denied, the applicant may request a variance from the Planning Commission.

Ordinance No. 290, which stipulates that the connection to the city sewer system be made under the supervision of the Building Superintendent before any underground portions of the building sewer are covered, was published in the Osage County Herald and is now in effect.
