Kansas City follows the Massachusetts base energy code (780 CMR 13.00).
Building permit (ISD), DPW street/utility permits, fire alarm/sprinkler permits, and potentially zoning relief. Major projects may require 8-12 separate permits with 4-8 week processing.
Typical processing: Residential 2-4 weeks. Commercial 4-8 weeks. Plan for additional time if zoning variance needed.
Building permit fees based on project valuation (typically $15-25 per $1,000). Additional fees for DPW, fire, and specialty permits. Total permit costs: $500-$5,000+ for residential, $5,000-$50,000+ for commercial.
