Planning your Missouri project

Check both county and city code information

Missouri’s Department of Natural Resources links to separate county and city building-code directories. The department explains that these summaries do not include every local amendment or trade code and that current details should be obtained from the jurisdiction.

Use the project address to identify the responsible authority before relying on a directory entry. Share the authority’s written requirements and proposed building use with the engineering team.
