Building Permit Application

Overview

Virtually any work outside of routine maintenance or minor repair requires a permit before the work is started. A homeowner is allowed to perform most work on their residence. However, if a contractor is hired to perform work, the city requires that they be licensed by the City of Paola. The city requires insurance, an application, proof of qualifications, and a fee to become a licensed contractor. Building permits and contractor’s licenses are required within the city limits.

Permit applications are available in our office at 19 East Peoria Street, or by downloading the Building Permit Application form and the Required Permit Information. Some building permits will also require a Public Works Right-Of-Way permit.
