BUILDING PERMITTING PROCESS
The Building Permit Authority issues all building permits for new construction as well as for secondary or additional construction on the building lot. The following attempts to layout the process; first for new building construction and the second, the process for additional construction not part of the approved house plans.
Builders / Owners must submit complete site plan and elevation drawings, both sealed by licensed architect or engineer from Missouri. This document will not go into the details required for DRC approval but instead will cover the Building Permit Issuance Process.
BUILDING PERMIT FOR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION ON A PLATTED LOT
(1) After the Design Review Committee, DRC, has received plans from the Builder/Owner, and has approved them, the DRC representative sends the approved plans to the Building Inspector.
(2) The Building Inspector reviews the plans making notes pertinent to building codes and local ordinances. The Building Inspector then calculates the permit cost using metrics that may change over time but include main living areas, basements, garages, pools, lanais and other structures not mentioned here. A spreadsheet lays out the calculations and other fees associated with the permitting process that include NWCCWRD, Northwest Cass County Water Resource District water and sewer taps and administrative fees in addition to the square footage costs.
